K3: the "strange problem" - pinched audio

[DOUGLAS ZWIEBEL]

I have ONLY experienced something like this when using my logging
program to "drive" the K3.  I have never seen this when the computer
is turned off and I use the K3 "all by itself."

Here is what I did to "solve" the problem when using the
computer...with the computer / contest software running:

Set the VFO A and VFO B settings as I like.  Using the K3, toggle the
BAND switch (top left of K3) up one band and down one band (to get
back to where I started).  Now go the next band (either direction) and
repeat:  Set VFO A and B as you wish, then toggle up/down on band.
Now go to the third band and repeat.  After doing this for every band,
things will "stay put" as I change bands using the computer to drive
the changes.

I do not know if this is related or not to the "pinched audio"
problem, but it sounds close to what has been described.

Are you folks using the K3 in stand-alone mode or using a computer to
change from VFO A to B, etc?

In my case the K3 is working alone.

Hi Doug,

I am only using the K3 standalone. I do not use a computer to control it.
