Quick-Start Guide
To get started using your K3 right away, please read this page and the two that follow, trying each of the
controls. The text uses braces to refer to numbered elements in the front- and rear-panel illustrations below. For
example, {1} refers to
1
, the mic jack. Later sections provide greater detail on all aspects of K3 operation.
The first thing you need to know about the K3 is that most switches have two functions. Tap (press
briefly) to activate the function labeled on a switch. Hold to activate the function labeled below the switch. In
the text, tap functions are shown like this:
M E N U
. An example of a hold function is
C O N F IG
. Additional
typographical conventions are shown on the previous page.
Try tapping
M E N U
{8}. This brings up the
MAI N
menu. Rotating VFO B {19} selects menu entries, while
rotating VFO A {22} changes their parameters. Tap
M E N U
again to exit the menu.
