KRX3 Success

[k1tl]

I found out why I was not hearing any signals on the KRX3...when I first
setup the KRX3 filters, I installed it in slot 1 and then changed it to slot 2.
I configured slot 2 but forgot to disable slot 1...duh ! ! !

W1EM suggested I go to the K3 Utility program and see all the filters and
that is where I found that FIL1 was still enabled. Since I had both setttings
the same, it was looking at slot 1 for the 2.7KHz filter.

I think Elecraft should put that in their K3 and KRX3 manual, to use the
K3 Utility Program to setup the filters, as it is PAINLESS ! ! ! !

Now I am in the corner wearing the Dunce Cap ! !

Thanks for the nice note!

The most recent editions of the owner's manual has a bold-face note that says "The K3 Utility software application can also be used to view or change crystal filter settings; click on Configuration tab / Edit Crystal Filters".  

Don't feel like a dunce, please!  I found a surprising setting during development of the K3 Utility itself.  You're not the first, and you won't be the last.

The original concept (and some sample code) for the K3 Utility Crystal Filter capability came from Brian Broggie, W6FVI, one of the Aptos crew who brought you your K3.

Dick, K6KR

I'd like to see that expanded in the K3 Utility software to encompass
most of the CONFIG items.

Much easier to view and configure via software......
