K3 and FM mode.
Locked
 
|
I purchased K3/100F in April of this year. Great little radio. I began to play with the K3_EZ and when I asked to Scan and populate the “K3 info” I have noticed that under Main Filter Bandwidth the FL1 is vacant and FL2 is 6.0, FL3 is 2.70, FL4 and FL5 are vacant. I thought I purchased the KFL3B-FM also. In checking the invoice, I did find the FM filter listed in the invoice. As of this date, I have not found anyone to talk on 10 meter FM so I am not sure if it is working or not. My question is, should the FM filter appear on the K3 Info? If it should, then cracking open the box and physically looking for the FM filter would be my next move. From reading the manual, I understood that the widest filters should be in FL1 position. Am I all wet? 73, Stan

Stan,
It is a matter of 6 or 7 screws to remove the top cover and examine the installed filters. You need to tell K3-EZ which filters you have installed because K3-EZ has no mechanism to determine the filter width, that is information that you must provide. From your filter designations it appears that your FL1 is unpopulated in your configuration and that FL2 and FL3 are populated. Open the top cover and check the actual filters installed This may be a case where your filters were not set up properly, or in the worst case, if you ordered the 13 MHz FM filter and it is not installed, you have a "beef" with Elecraft, and that situation should be promptly resolved. 73, Don W3FPR On 8/7/2012 10:51 PM, Stan Grigaliunas wrote: > I purchased K3/100F in April of this year.

Don,
You are right, again. I popped the top and the 13k FM filter is in the F1 spot. I tried the K3-EZ and each time I ask to populate it come out with different readings and once in a while the F1 block was filled with 13k. Per jack Berry's suggestion, I used the K3 utility and all filters appeared in the configuration window. So I am sure all is well and will do a live test. I have a Flex here too, so will set up the actual test, just to be sure... Like to thank all the good folks for help offered on this reflector. 73 Stan Kenton Oh K2-#6039, K3-#6368 -----Original Message----- From: Don Wilhelm Sent: Tuesday, August 07, 2012 11:41 PM To: Stan Grigaliunas Cc: [hidden email] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 and FM mode.
