SER NUM N/A Your K3’s serial number, e.g. 02000. Cannot be changed.
SMTR OF
SUB
024 S-Meter offset; see calibration procedure (pg. 50).
SMTR SC
SUB
014 S-Meter scale; S-9 = 50 uV, S=3 = 1 uV with Preamp = ON, and AGC ON. See
calibration procedure (pg. 50).
SMTR PK OFF Set to ON for peak-reading S-meter.
SMTR MD NOR (Advanced) S-meter mode: When set to NOR, preamp/attenuator settings will
affect the S-meter. (The default values of SMTR OF and SMTR SC apply to
NOR.) If set to ABS,the S-meter reading will stay fairly constant with different
preamp/attenuator settings, but SMTR OF and SMTR SC must be carefully re-
aligned for both main and sub receivers.
SPLT SV NO If set to YES, SPL I T, R I T , and XI T on/off states are saved per-band.
SPKRS 1 Set to 2 if using two external speakers.Thisenables binaural effects in
conjunction with the AFX switch, as well as stereo dual-receive ifthe sub
receiver is installed. For further details, see pg. 35.
SPKR+PH NO YES = Speaker is ON, even when headphones are plugged intoPHONESjack.
See detailed discussion on pg. 20.
SQ MAIN 0 This menu entry normally sets the main receiver squelch value (0-29). If VFO A
is rotated fully clockwise, the parameter changes to =SUB POT. Squelch for
both main and sub receivers will then be controlled by the SUB RF/SQL knob,
and both main and sub RF gain will be controlled by the MAIN RF/SQL knob.
SQ SUB 0 This menu entry normally sets the sub receiver squelch value (0-29). But if
SQ MAIN is set to =SUB POT, then SQ SUB will also change to =SUB POT.
Squelch for the sub receiver will then be controlled by the SUB RF/SQL knob,
and both main and sub RF gain will be controlled by the MAIN RF/SQL knob.
SW TEST [T] OFF Changing the parameter displays SCN ADC. Hold any switch to see scan row
and switch ADC reading. Used for troubleshooting only.
SW TONE OFF Sets up audible control annunciation (tones or audio Morse code).
SYNC DT Function (Advanced) When SYNC DT (sync data) is activated in either SSB or DATA
modes, T/R switching times are reduced to optimize for modes such as AMTOR
and PacTOR. The “-S” icon turns on. Donotuse SYNC DT for normal
SSB/DATA communications. Cannot be changed within the menu; assign to a
programmable function switch. Also see CONFIG:PTT RLS (PTT release
delay).
TECH MD OFF Set to ON to enable Tech Mode menu entries (those marked with [T] in this list).
TIME N/A Real-time-clock view/set. Tap 1 / 2 / 3 to set HH / MM / SS. To see the time and
other displays during normal operation, tap D I SP (see pg. 36).
TTY LTR Function Performs an RTTY FIGS to LTRSshift when thetext decoder is enabled in
RTTY modes. Cannot be changed within the menu itself; must be assigned to a
programmable function switch.
TUNPWR NOR If set to NOR, TU N E power level follows the POWER knob. Otherwise,
establishes a fixed power level for TUNE, overridingthe present POWERknob
setting. Note1: TUN PWR does not pertain to ATU TU N E , which always uses 5
or 10 W and is internally controlled. Note2: see CONFIG:PWR SET for per-
band power control.
TX ALC [T] ON (Troubleshooting.) Set to OFF to disable both internal and external transmit
ALC (overrides EXT ALC setting). Used when adjusting band-pass filters in TX
mode, or fortroubleshooting. Set parameter to ON during normal operation.
