K3 VFO - Linking
Locked
 
|
I am having an issue with linking VFO A and B. Page 6 of the K3 owners manual (Revision D10) suggests that holding the 'SUB' will link the VFO's , and holding it more than 2 seconds "engages diversity mode." I never seem to get the linked VFO's. Holding the 'SUB' button any length of time engages diversity mode. I have the new synthesizers in my K3 and I have reloaded the firmware as well. Additionally, if I say 'YES' to link the VFO's in the CONFIG menu, as soon as I hit the "SUB' button the VFO's unlink.Anyone have any ideas as to what I might be doing incorrectly?Thanks,Bill-W0BBI

Hi Bill,
The D10 manual text has been superseded by newer firmware. The only way now to do a VFO link is CONFIG: VFO LNK. Tap on SUB toggles the subRX. Hold on SUB toggles diversity mode. This is true for both K3 and K3S. The K3S front panel has a yellow DIV just to left of the SUB button. This change from D10 manual procedure was the result of a lot of discussion, and would seem permanent because big E has etched it into the front panel. Tapping SUB does *not* clear VFO LNK Holding SUB (turning on diversity) *does* clear VFO LNK Note in VFO LNK, moving VFO B knob changes B) and *not* A). Moving VFO A knob always changes *both* A) and B) by the same amount. 73, Guy K2AV On Sun, Oct 11, 2015 at 5:52 PM, Bill Wiehe via Elecraft < [hidden email]> wrote: > I am having an issue with linking VFO A and B.

One other way is to program the LINK function into one of the PF buttons —
one push and it links / unlinks.
