My K3 1322 has an original KAT3 and firmware 5.38 2.86 1.25.
Last night I tried to use the LCSET feature of the KAT3 item on the
Configuration menu. I have used this successfully in the past, but no
luck this time.
I was able to make the L and C values show on the display, but rotating
the VFO knobs changed the values on the *previous* display. I could
hear VFO A start to test relays as I rotated it to the right, and once
I found myself changing the date after rotating VFO B and then A while
the unchanged L and C values showed on the display.
Exiting from LCSET did not seem to go correctly either. In order to
return the KAT3 to Auto, I had to fully exit and re-enter the
Configuration menu.
Has anyone else had LCSET problems, or am I the only one?
For the benefit of the reader, I quote the relevant manual wording,
part of the KAT3 item on the Config menu:
********************
Mode LCSET allows manual adjustment of L/C settings (you must exit the
menu first). When in LCSET mode, tapping ATU TUNE shows the L and C
values; C is changed with VFO A, L is changed with VFO B, and ANT
toggles between Ca and Ct.
