[Elecraft] K3 Main RF Gain problem

[K5WA]

Jim,

 

I have the same issue and I noticed it after I installed the DVR, however
I'm not sure the two events are connected.  I sent a note to K3Support and
they said this is a firmware issue they are fixing.  I have not loaded 3.68
yet to see if the fix is in there, but it really isn't a big deal for
me.although, I will be glad when it works properly again.  ;-)
