[Elecraft] K3 60-Meter Dial Display Frequencies

[Don Wilhelm]

Bob,

You did not specify the mode, but I can answer for any mode.

For SSB, take the FCC specified center frequencies, and subtract 1.5 kHz 
for the USB carrier frequency.
For CW and narrowband data modes, the Elecraft display will be at the 
specified center frequencies.

For SSB, the K2, K3 and KX3 display the suppressed carrier frequency, 
and the regulations require that the USB signal be centered on the 
channel - subtracting 1.5 kHz will provide that centering.
For CW and soundcard data modes, Elecraft gear displays the transmit 
carrier frequency, and that should be the channel center.

Other transceivers may handle the frequency display differently, and I 
can only speak for how Elecraft handles it.

73,
