Need a locksmith with the K3

I've inadvertently activated a feature I need to undo. Last night I
was making changes with config and it may have happened at that time
but I'm locked on a frequency and can't seem to change it. When I
move the sub receiver frequency with dial B, it shows me the voltage,
time, PLL1, PLL2, temp and so on. The tell is the lock showing in the
upper right corner of the LCD display above the mode indicator.

I'm looking in the manual but haven't found the answer yet.

What do I need to do to get unlocked?

Thanks

Gary

GM Gary,
Just to the right of VFO A, one up from the bottom, is the rate/lock
switch. Hold it to lock/unlock the VFO.
Cheers and 73,

Re: Need a locksmith with the K3

Thank you! I hate to admit it but my vision isn't as good as it used
to be and where it says lock on the face, below the button is in a
shadow from the rate button and I missed it.

Thanks! Now to go & get that OJ0R DX I was trying to reach on 12M!

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming!

73,

And thank you! I had a 2fer going here & had engaged the DISP in
trying to resolve the lock issue!

Nice to be able to get the help when needed. This is a nice
reflector.

Thanks & 73,

Are your VFO A and B linked? Hold down SUB button to toggle the link off.

I've inadvertently activated a feature I need to undo. Last night I
was making changes with config and it may have happened at that time
but I'm locked on a frequency and can't seem to change it. When I
move the sub receiver frequency with dial B, it shows me the voltage,
time, PLL1, PLL2, temp and so on. The tell is the lock showing in the
upper right corner of the LCD display above the mode indicator.

I'm looking in the manual but haven't found the answer yet.

What do I need to do to get unlocked?

Thanks

Hold the RATE (LOCK) button until it goes away.
