K3 frequency entry
Locked
 
|
I try to enter the elecraft net 20m frequency directly; I push the FREQ
ENT button, then 14.303500 and it only accepts 14.303; if I try 14.303.5 it does the same thing. Am I trying it wrong, or is it just not possible, or do I have something set wrong?

I've never been able to enter frequencies more specifically than 1 kHz,
myself. On Sun, Mar 21, 2021, 15:41 David F.

Having only used a K2 and a KX3, my experience agrees with your experience. If you enter as 14303, it should go to 14.303 MHz. I just tune by ear from there anyway. Of course, then you’ve got the problem that many people can’t seem to tune in SSB so that they’re all on the same frequency, but that’s another story :)

My KX2 manual on page 15 says:
-- enter one or two MHz digits, optionally followed by a decimal point and up to three kHz digits. Next tap enter (BAND) to accept, or any other switch to cancel. Examples: 14.255MHz: FREQ 14.255 + enter 7.000 MHz: FREQ 7 + enter > On Mar 21, 2021, at 3:56 PM, w4sc <[hidden email]> wrote: > > Read the manual; de W4SC > > Sent from Mail for Windows 10 > > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:[hidden email] > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html > Message delivered to [hidden email] ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

I just enter kHz ... "14028+AFX-Key". Works fine for HF. I think there
could possibly be an issue if you have transverters connected, in which case the technique in the manual is very likely right. One can always do it the "Ham Way" and just try it and see what happens. 😉 We might be over-precisioning [new word] here, I have a suspicion that the memory gets you close enough to hear at which point you resort to "The Big Knob." With the display resolution set to 3 digits after the #2 decimal point, entering "143035" yields a freq of 14.303.000 on my very old K3. 73, Fred ["Skip"] K6DGW Sparks NV DM09dn Washoe County On 3/21/2021 3:13 PM, Buddy Brannan wrote: > Having only used a K2 and a KX3, my experience agrees with your experience.

Interesting, and something I've never encountered. Is that a "non-SDR"
limitation? Seems reasonable that it would be. On my Icom, I've always been able to enter a frequency to the third decimal place (i.e.: 14.303.567). 73 Lyn, W0LEN -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of David F.
