issue with new K3

[Steve Coates-2]

I just finished building my K3/10. For one of the calibration steps I
am trying to receive WWV. It seems that receive is not working on the
K3. I have a steady hiss no mater if it is hooked to a dummy load or
an antenna.

This is a basic K3 with no options.

Any ideas?

  Steve,

Have you done the first step in the Calibration Procedures?  Go to the
menu CONFIG: VCO MD, set the parameter to CAL and exit the menu to allow
the routine to run.
If you do not see that menu item, go to TECH MD and turn it on, then you
should see the entry.

I found the issue. Had the filter in the wrong slot.
