K3 Operating Tip: Special display modes (time, voltage, temperature, etc.)

[wayne burdick]

The VFO B display normally shows the VFO B frequency. As you've
probably discovered, it also shows decoded CW or DATA-mode text, menu
entries, memory numbers and their labels, and the RIT/XIT offset (as
you turn the offset knob).

You can also set up the VFO B display to show a variety of useful
system parameters, including:

   time (24-hour)
   date (US or EU format)
   supply voltage
   current drain
   KPA3 heatsink temperature
   front panel compartment temperature

If you have the TECH MD menu entry set to ON, the list expands to
include PLL voltages, audio output voltage (AFV), and dBV (audio level
relative to most recent AFV reading). The latter is very useful for
comparing signal levels (usually, you'd turn AGC OFF in this case).

To access these special displays, simply tap DISP, then rotate VFO B
until you find the display of interest. Tap DISP again to return to the
normal VFO B display.

too fast for my eyes????????????????  73

I notice that as of today there are 28 reviews of the K3 on eham.net and
every single one gives it a 5.0 out of 5.0:

Of the over 260 HF radios listed, the only other ones with a score of
5.0 from more than a handful of reviews are the Flex-5000 (with 14
reviews) and the Ten-Tec Omni-VII (with 33).

Apparently Bob Sherwood is not the only person who likes the K3.  :=)
