If you see a dull red glow to the west, it is my face turning beet red. 
  Reasons/excuses aside, the released code has deviation at about 6 kHz 
instead of 3 kHz.

This is now fixed in my development code.

Meanwhile, to set the deviation using K3 Utility:

Click on the Command Tester tab, in the edit line, type

!dd40;

and deviation should be right.  This only needs to be sent once per 
session. If you leave the K3 on, the deviation setting should not be 
changed when you change modes/bands/etc.

Sorry for missing this one, Julian.
