[Elecraft] K3 unable to change passband control shift amount in SSB

[Don Wilhelm]

Jeff,

It would appear that something is "stuck".
Do you have a saved configuration file from sometime before this problem 
came up?
If so, try an EEINIT (Reset to Factory Defaults) and then restore the 
configuration file.
The Reset to Factory Defaults will wipe out the calibration and 
configuration data that is particular to your K3.  That is why saving a 
configuration file is important.  K3 Utility makes it easy to save and 
restore a configuration file.
Reloading the firmware will not change the configuration settings.

If you do not have a saved configuration file, you can still do the 
EEINIT, but you will have to do all the calibration procedures listed in 
the manual and activate whatever options you have installed in the menu.

73,
