Also, Check to see that you are not on COARSE tuning.  In SSB mode, you can
easily be off frequency when the COARSE setting is chosen.  I have
experienced this recently and when I turned off coarse, I was able to tune
the rig onto frequency.   It seems that COARSE  had me in the "ball park"
but not quite on the correct frequency. The more I am using my k3S, the
more I am finding out about these things.
