K3 Front Panel Temperature Indication

Larry P. Greenberg
According to the K3 manual, by tapping DISP, you can rotate the VFO B knob through time, date, supply voltage, current drain, KPA3 heatsink temperature, and front panel compartment temperature.  When tap DISP, I get time, date, supply voltage, and current drain only - I do not have a temperature selection.  In its place is "0.00".  I did do both temperature sensor calibration procedures.  What am I doing wrong?

Larry,

With the current firmware, the VFO B alternate display shows (in order)
time, date, RIT/XIT offset, supply voltage, and supply current. The 0.00
that you are seeing is the RIT/XIT offset.  Yes, the manual says it
should also show the PA temperature and the FP temperature, but at this
time, TECH MD must be set ON to see those.  Go into the CONFIG menu and
set TECH MD to ON and you will see the additional VFO B displays.
