[Elecraft] 2m Transverter keeps switching back to 6m

[Rich - K1HTV]

If it happened that the switching back from 2 Meters to 6M occurred during the
contest you can credit you K3 knowing that the 6M band was open for lots of
E-skip and was reminding you, like the Chick Filet commercial to 'Eat mor
chickin" or "Work more 6 Meters". You have a smart K3, :-). It knew that there
was a great Es opening. 

I was at K8GP and was running W6 and W7 stations Sunday afternoon. We ran K3
radios at the more 6M positions at the K8GP multi-op station in the VHF contest.
Being up high were heard many very strong locals, one of them, W3IP with a K3,
only a mile or so up the road running high power. Our K3s worked great from our
Mt. Weather site in FM19bb. We worked over 850 stations in 249 grids on the
Magic Band, including many European stations.

Seriously, hope that you can figure out what is causing the switching problem.
Sorry that I am of no help.  

Enjoy your K3. I certainly am enjoying mine.

Do you have any software with radio control capability (e.g. a logging
program) connected to the K3? If so, does the problem still happen if you
disable the software control?

will go to any frequency on 2m and then a second later switches back to 54.0
MHz.  Any thoughts?
