Frequency Memories
The K3S has 100 general-purpose memories (00-
99), plus per-band memories (M1-M4 on each
band). Each memory holds VFO A and B
frequencies, modes, filter presets, antenna selection,
and other settings. Each can have a text label of up
to 5 characters (A-Z, 0-9, and various symbols).
The Elecraft Frequency Memory Editor
software application can be used to simplify setup
and use of memories. Refer to our K3/K3S software
web page for details.
To store a general-purpose memory (00-99):
First tap V M (VFO to Memory), then locate the
desired memory using the VFO A knob. The VFO
A frequencies stored in each memory will be shown
as you scroll through them. When you reach the
desired memory number, tap V M again to store,
or tap M V to cancel the operation.
To recall a general-purpose memory: Tap
M V , then select memory 00-99 using VFO A.
Tap M V again to exit.
Memories 00-09 are quick memories, accessible
with just two switch taps. These could be used to
get to a starting point in each of 10 ham bands.
Memories M1 – M4 are per-band quick memories.
For example, you might set up M1 for each band’s
CW segment, M2 for the SSB segment, etc.
Memories 00-09 can act as if they were band
switches; see CONFIG:MEM 0-9.
To store or recall quick memories: Tap V M
or M V as before, but instead of rotating VFO A,
tap 0 - 9 or M1 - M4 .
To erase one or more memories: While scrolling
through memories to save or recall, tap CLR. Not
applicable to per-band quick memories (M1-M4).
To add or change a memory’s text label: First tap
M V , then select a memory (00-99) using VFO
A. Next, rotate VFO B to select each label position
in turn as indicated by the flashing cursor. Use VFO
A to change characters. After editing, tap M V
again. (Labels can be edited at any time, including
when you initially store a memory using V M .)
Adding an asterisk (*) at the start of a label
designates a channel-hopping memory (pg. 42).
Digital Voice/Audio Recorder (KDVR3)
The DVR can continuously record receive audio
(up to 90 seconds). To start/stop audio record, hold
AF REC . To start/stop playback, hold AF PLAY .
The
icon flashes during DVR use.
Playback position (0-90 sec.) is shown on the VFO
B display; “*” appears if you’re within the most
recent segment. Use VFO B to change the position.
For DVR voice message record/play, see pg. 31.
Message Record/Play Controls
Five switches provide record and playback of
outgoing messages: M1 , M2 , M3 , M4 and REC.
These switches provide single-tap play, hold-to-
repeat, and other functions that are convenient for
contests and for sending often-repeated text or
voice messages during QSOs. CW messages can be
viewed and edited using K3 Utility, if desired.
For details on CW message record/play, see pg. 32.
The same messages can be used with CW-to-DATA
(pg. 36). For voice message record/play, see Digital
Voice Recorder (pg. 31).
M1 through M4 can alternatively be used as tap
or hold programmable function switches (pg. 23).
RIT and XIT Controls
RIT RIT (receive incremental tuning) on/off.
PF1 Programmable function switch (pg. 23)
XIT XIT (transmit incremental tuning) on/off.
PF2 Programmable function switch (pg. 23)
CLR Sets RIT/XIT offset to 0. Hold for 2
seconds to copy present RIT offset to VFO
A before clearing.
The RIT/XIT offset control sets the offset for RIT
and XIT. Three LEDs above the control show at a
glance whether an offset is in effect (pg. 11).
If CONFIG:RIT CLR is set to UNDO ON,
tapping CLR will alternate between 0.00 and the
last non-zero offset selected, if any.
