K3 Direct Frequency Entry

[N8XPQ]

It seems that it is not possible to enter a frequency past the second decimal point. Ex: 7.047.50 The way it appears that when you get to the 7.047 entry the rig will beep at you, and not allow any further or more precise frequency entry. Am I missing an easy function or was this an oversight?

you can entry 704750 without the decimal point, but it still sets it  
to 7.047

Trying to get my K3 to go into Reference Oscillator Calibrate routine using
Option
#3 (temp compensation).  I have "Tech MD" enabled [ON], but I cannot toggle
out of "REF CAL" to get to "REF xxC."   It just stays on "REF CAL"
regardless of
tapping the "1" button on the numeric keypad.  Latest K3 firmware is
installed.   Ideas?

Paul.  Please check your errata sheet.  This calibration method is not yet
implemented in the firmware.  Best method to use right now is to use WWV
until the FW is ready for method 3.
