K3 Temperature Sensor Calibration

[Paul Kirley]

Consider re-calibrating the temperature sensors in your K3 before
getting too alarmed about the readings.

From the Owner's Manual:

Front Panel Temperature Sensor
• Turn the K3 OFF. Allow about 15 minutes for
the radio to cool to room temperature.
• Turn the K3 ON.
• Locate the CONFIG:FP TEMP menu entry.
Adjust the parameter to match the reading of a
room thermometer. Note: Deg. C = (deg.
Fahrenheit - 32) * 0.555.

PA Temperature Sensor
• Turn the K3 OFF. Allow about 15 minutes for
the PA heat sink to cool to room temperature.
Do not turn the K3 ON during this period.
• Turn the K3 ON.
• Locate the CONFIG:PA TEMP menu entry.
Adjust the parameter to match the reading of a
room thermometer. Note: Deg. C = (deg.
Fahrenheit - 32) * 0.555.
