Menu Functions
Save your configuration using K3 Utility after changing menu settings.
There are two groups of menu functions: MAIN and CONFIG. Each group is ordered alphanumerically. MAIN
menu entries are shown below. CONFIG entries, which are used for initial configuration and advanced features,
start on page 57. Tap MENU to access the MAIN menu; hold CONFIG to access the CONFIG menu.
Menu entries you’d like quick access to can be assigned to programmable function switches (pg. 23).
Tapping DISP within a menu entry shows usage information in the VFO B display area. For most entries, the
default parameter value is shown in parentheses at the start of this help text.
MAIN Menu
Audio Effects. Selections: DELAY 1-5 (quasi-stereo); BIN (L/R phase shift)
Set alarm/Auto-Power-On time. Tap 1 to turn alarm on/off; tap 2 / 3 to set HH/MM.
Main receiver attenuation level (5/10/15 dB, per-band).
Holding ATT for 2 seconds brings up this menu entry. (The sub receiver’s ATT-on
setting is fixed at 10 dB.)
LCD viewing angle and contrast. Use higher settings if the radio is used at or above
eye level. If adjusted incorrectly, bar graphs will be too light or heavy during keying.
LCD backlight brightness. Use DAY in bright sunlight, 2 to 8 for indoor lighting.
LED brightness (relative to LCD backlight brightness). Exception: if LCD BRT is
set to DAY, LEDs are set to their maximum brightness.
Mic/line transmit audio source, mic gain range, and mic bias. Source selections:
FP (front panel 8-pin MIC jack), RP (rear panel 3.5 mm MIC jack), and LINE IN
(rear-panel LINE IN jack).
Note: If a plug is inserted into the LINE IN jack, this audio input will override any
digitized audio line-in signal present at the USB port. This is only relevant if the
USB port has been selected (see CONFIG:RS232).
Tap 1 to toggle between .L ow and .High mic gain range for the selected mic. Tap 2
to turn mic BIAS on/off (turn on for electret mics).
For the front-panel mic only, tap 7 to turn on an additional gain stage. Use this only
with very low-output mics. An apostrophe will appear after the H, e.g. H’ .
If set to ON, and MIC SEL is set for FP or RP, the present mic OR line input can
be used for transmit audio.
Note: Setting MIC SEL to LINE overrides the MIC+LIN menu entry (its parameter
becomes "N-A"). When MIC+LIN is in effect, rotating the MIC control shows MIC
gain. Set MIC SEL to LINE to adjust LINE IN gain.
Message repeat interval in seconds (0 to 255).
To repeat a message, hold M1 – M4 rather than tap. A 6 - 10 sec. interval is about
right for casual CQing. Shorter intervals may be needed during contests, and longer
for periodic CW beacons.
Sets the transmit offset (in kHz) for repeater operation, from 0 to 5000 kHz. Stored
per-band and per-memory. Use ALT to select a +/- offset or simplex operation.
