You need to enter that data for the TCXO to work right. It is under
calibration....enter TCXO data..........

Jim,
The KTCXO3-1 has always been more stable than its spec'ed 0.5ppm stability, so there is no need to calibrate it for temperature vs. frequency using software. Because of that fact, the fields for entering the calibration data have been removed from the K3 Utility and also the section referring to "Method 3" has been removed from the K3 manual. In other words, since it is not needed, it has been removed. 73, Don W3FPR On 12/16/2011 11:48 AM, Jim Harris wrote: > *Good morning, All.* > * > * > *I have K3 [S/N2802] with the latest Firmware installed.

I just checked 1.4.10.11 and do not see TCXO under Calibration. In 1.4.1.8, the latest version for Windows, the TCXO button is listed under Calibration but grayed out. I've never seen it active, even though I have the TCXO. My recollection is that Elecraft decided they didn't need the cal sheet in order to get the TCXO to work within spec. Leigh/WA5ZNU |
