[Elecraft] K3 10Mhz IF questions with the latest beta

[Edward R Cole]

Eric,

Thanks for the tip.  I tried going with direct freq. enter and ended 
up in one of my memory locations above 490-KHz (that I run in TEST 
mode).  I don't normally change band using the Band switch, since I 
have favorite freq. in memory for all bands I use.  Just stepping 
down in bands with the BAND switch landed me at 0.000.00 KHz and 
moving VFO-A cw frequency moved up to 472 continuously from 
00.000.00.  I left it on 472 and the radio will remember when I hit 
the BAND switch button again.

I have a very prototype mixer for 630m so next I should try it 
out!  1.5mw from the K3 is probably low as drive to the SBL mixer so 
probably need a buffer (2N2222 will work).  vers. 4.81 installed.

Switch to the transverter band you setup using the BAND up/dwn buttons.
When you see 334.076.00, move the VFO clockwise to pass the 0.000 point
and continue upwards.... if you're headed for 475 kHz territory, set the
VFO to Course tuning to get there faster.

DON'T enter direct frequency, doing that will change the freq. of the
160M band slot, it just doesn't work the way you are expecting. That is
why when you move down after entering the freq. you hit a wall at 490
kHz.  For now, if you have a frequency in the transverter band to QSY
to, move there with the VFO.

Running the 10 MHz IF here with dual diversity RX and TX.  Currently
running a side-by-side digital mode TX test tonight around 475.5 kHz.
