[Elecraft] K3 - Strange Tune Behaviour

[David Douglass]

Hi All,

I've been having issues since last night with an inability to use the Tune Function on the K3.

I use Tune to get a carrier to tune my amp (an Emtron DX-1). Usually this works fine, but now the Tune simply turns itself straight off after it is pressed when I have the amp turned on. The Tune funtion still seems to work OK on lower power without the amp.

I'm assuming this may be related to my antennas being saturated at the moment (we've had steady rain for a full week), although according to the SWR reading on the radio and my external tuner all is still OK. Does the K3 have some sort of sensing that will turn off Tune if it suspects a problem?

I am able to tune the amp manually with a straight key, but this is a pain as I have to plug and unplug cables everytime.

Thanks


David, VK2NU
