[Elecraft] K3 "REV" BUTTON

[Robert M. Weiman]

I must have done something silly (again).

 

My normal procedure when trying to work a DX station operating split is to:

 

1.      Tune the station in with VFO "A", then hold the "LOCK" button (keeps
me from inadvertently moving off his frequency).

2.      Hold the "SPLIT" button then while holding the "REV" button in I
tune VFO "A" to my desired transmitting frequency (up 1, etc.).

 

Tonight when I tried to do the same thing, after step 1 the display
indications were normal, the "SPLT" indicator appears, the lock icon shows
above VFO A and the TX arrow points to VFO B. However, when I press the REV
button, the TX arrow points to both VFO A and VFO B, and the lock icon
switches to below VFO B. Turning the VFO A knob moves both VFO.

 

Even when neither VFO is locked and I'm not is split mode, pressing the REV
button results in the TX arrow pointing to both VFO. Recycling the power
doesn't help.

 

The radio is S/N 417 and I haven't changed anything or uploaded new F/W for
a couple of years.

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
