K3 TX EQ Not saving on power down

Hi K3ers:

 

The below is the procedure I use to activate TX EQ. TX EQ does not save when powered off. (I am not changing mode or band).  Also RX EQ setting becomes the same as TX EQ and vice versa.  Both are changed to what ever EQ number is selected. No matter if you do it from TX eq or RX eq. Anyone else see this?  Support is working on it. Running fimware 2.78

 

 

 

1. Select EQ5 by touching the kepad number 5 after  you are in  menu item TX EQ. 

 

2. Tap menu again to go back to read out.

 

3. Go back to menu item EQ and the selection of EQ5 is still there. Tap menu to return to freq reading. (and RX EQ has been changed to EQ 5 also)

 

4. Turn off power.  Turn on power.  Tap menu.  Find TX EQ.  It is now set back to EQ 1 not EQ 5.

 

 

Thanks,

 

Jerry, K4DZR

Jerry,

The EQ frequency bin to change is not saved. Only the *changes* to
selected EQ bins is changed. Once you've tapped '5', for example,
you're in that bin, but you then have to move VFO A to adjust the gain
for that bin. This will be saved.

The number reported following "TX EQ" or "RX EQ" is the frequency band
that is being equalized, not the setting of the equalizer.

To demonstrate that the EQ *settings* are in fact saved, insert these steps:

1a) rotate VFO A to clockwise so VFO B's display reads " 0.80  +2". The
fifth location in VFO A will be two parallel horizontal lines " = "
showing that the 800 Hz frequency range has been boosted slightly.

4a) Note that the fifth location in VFO A is still two parallel
horizontal lines " = " showing that the 800 Hz frequency range has been
boosted slightly.  Thus, the adjustments made before cycling power are
saved through power cycles.

---

What has *not* been saved is the fact that the last frequency band you
were *adjusting* was band 5.  Thus "TX EQ 1" is displayed, showing that
any adjustment you make will be to frequency band 1 (50 Hz).  Simply tap
keypad 5 to go back to adjusting the 800 Hz frequency band.

Finally, while in TX EQ adjust mode, press the CLR button near the RIT
knob to restore the default (flat) EQ settings.
