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

[Dave Hachadorian]

Try pushing the buttons on the four controls to the left of the 
main VFO knob, e.g.  CMP/PWR, about 100 times each.  The switches 
on those encoders has been known to stick, and when that happens, 
certain functions become non-responsive.  After you pus those 
four buttons 100 times each, turn the radio off, and then on 
again.

Good luck.  I hope it works for you.

Hi, Don,
After talking with Howard at Elecraft Wed AM, I did exactly what 
you
recommend below.
I did the EEINIT, tried several saved configs, but even my 
oldest, which
isn't that old (new computer, didn't bother to copy over the 
older
configs from previous machine), exhibited the same problem. 
<sigh>
I did another EEINIT and started over.
All's good after an intimate afternoon w/ the DL1, XG3, & K3. ;^)

I /still/ don't know how I was able to change the PB shift for 
SSB to
.01 in the first place, though.

Thanks for the guidance.
