K3/P3: What Have I Done??

Just spent an hour reviewing the K3 and P3 manuals to no avail. I’ve had these two pieces of equipment for ten years and you’d think I ought to know exactly how to control them, but it appears that either something inside has gone kaflooy or I’ve screwed up something myself. I suspect the latter…

When I turn on RIT and adjust the RIT knob, the K3 changes frequency and displays it correctly on the LCD. However, what happens on the P3 is the opposite! Turning the RIT knob clockwise increases the K3 frequency and display, but the red line on the P3 moves to the LEFT, not the right as it should. The P3 frequency display increases as it should, but the red line goes the opposite direction. The XIT function works as it should.

Any hints? This has me stumped!

Tnx, Jim . W6JHB

Nope, that red line should move off to the right on the P3, just like it does when the XIT is enabled. What happens on your P3 when you turn on RIT on the K3 and true the knob to increase frequency?

Re: K3/P3: What Have I Done??

OK - general consensus is that it is working as is supposed to. I guess someone slipped me some whacky weed when I wasn’t looking. I’ll crawl back in my hole now. :-)
