[Elecraft] Synthesizer Issue

[Edward R Cole]

I have several of the 100 memories programmed to 600m frequencies 
using the K3 Memory Editor.  To enter TEST mode I just Press-Hold 
"MODE up".  TX flashes to indicate its in TEST mode and Tx and Rx is 
routed thru the XVTR connections.

Hi Bob,

The new frequency coverage is still part of the 160-meter band. If 
you need quick access to the 600-meter range (~475 kHz), you can use 
any of several different ways to get to it:

- the four per-band "quick memories" on 160 m

- the 100 general-purpose memories

- direct frequency entry

- a programmable function switch

As an example of the latter, you could create a K3 command macro 
using K3 Utility, such as:

     FA00000475000;MD3;PA0;

This sets VFO A to 475 kHz, CW mode, with the preamp off. Of course 
you would also want to bring the signal in through RX ANT IN or XVTR 
IN, so the high-pass filter in the T/R switch is bypassed. Using XVTR 
IN requires setting CONFIG:KXV3 to TEST. We may provide a simpler way 
to do this in the future.
