[Elecraft] K3 'SHIFT' not functional

[Nick Kennedy]

Hi All,

My K3’s ‘SHIFT’ control no longer shifts. It stays at the CW pitch frequency I’ve dialed up as indicated by “FC *0.44”, for example, when I turn the knob.

I had been setting up the rig for Field Day (taking out macros, etc.) when this occurred. 

This is happening in the CW mode. In fact, I just verified that SHIFT works normally in SSB and AM modes. The WIDTH control works normally as well.

Searching the manual, it seems that using XFIL can disable SHIFT.  Maybe I accidentally hit XFIL.  But if I did, how do I go back to normal?  When I rotate the WIDTH control, my filters are sequenced in and out as expected.

No CAT is currently connected.

At least it’s not fatal, but it would be nice to get the function back before Saturday.

73/TU,
