Re: K3: Shift is at *61, not where it was before

Brian Pepperdine



I have noticed what I think is small but inexplicable change in my K3 shift.

Up until a few weeks ago (when I had some other odd issue with the sidetone going to zero hz, thus the crystal filter not seeming to work...)
my shift "centre frequency" was 60.
That is, that is where I think the normal is and was demarcated by an asterisk, hence it read *60, and then 55, 50, 45 etc going down, and then when going back up the 60 had the *60 marker.

Now the marker is *61. Things still go down and up in 5 hz increments when shifting but the default/normal marked is *61.

Why is this? What happened? I don't really discern much diffence (being doing contacts in cw with no problem) ..
but the mystery of how this changed and how to change it back (simply to be back to 5 hz steps...?) is pestering me.

And yes, my tired eyes don't see much of anything on this in the manuals. But then again my wife has to find my jam for breakfast.

tnx

You probably inadvertently set your PITCH to 610. Try resetting it to
600 and see if that solves your problem.
