Nice new feature! Makes the K3 an even more versatile and user-friendly DX
machine!
Installation went smoothly, except previous assignment of macros SPLIT/SUB
on/off to PF1/PF2 was erased in the process and function switches changed to
the MIX commands...
Assigned the SPLIT macros again and now
I guess that's my problem... Wide CW to me is greater than 1 KHz BW,
which I often use. A weak signal in these wide passbands can be
improved alot by shifting the passband. But a 0.01 step, assuming it
even covered the entire range, would be pretty tedious for such wide
BW. So, yeah... I use both
Amazing, is there no limit to what this radio can be made to do!
This new feature installed without problems and no change to previously
assigned PF1 /PF2/ M1 for Split+1/Split+5/Cleanup macros.
Thanks to all at Elecraft really impressed with this radio.

The KRC2ACC will provide some (but not all) the display information in

The K3 also has button tones that will be helpful to you.

Of course that will work, Greg; however the UNSPLT macro has the
advantage of equalizing VFO A and B frequencies and bandwidths and
undoing the split with a single keystroke.

Normally, main RX audio is heard in the left channel, and sub in
the right. Now, using the CONFIG:MIX menu entry, you can put main
RX audio in both channels while leaving sub audio in only one (or
vice-versa; or even put both receivers in both channels).

Very true. But just exiting split your modes will already be the same from
your
previous macro execution. The only thing potentially lacking would be the

Hi Dick
Maybe they are, but I don't hear anything on the K3 (or even my FT-817) on a
much bigger antenna, and anyway there is not much BC activity I can hear on
7.1MHz these days. I should add that the KX-1 has the 30/40 board and the
internal ATU fitted.

Hi Stephen,
The KX1, like most low-current QRP transceivers, uses an active mixer
in the front end. IMD products can appear in the mixer's output
spectra when large signals are present at the input, especially if the
LO (local oscillator) injection is insufficient.
Try backing down the RF
Just a little brainstorming.
There seems to be quite an interest in undoing the changes made by a
macro. This might be possible with the addition of a pause command.
The first part of the macro would set your changes. Follow this with a
pause command and then the macro undo
Stephen,
The first thing I would suggest is to see if the KX1 is really receiving
on 20 meters, or perhaps on some other frequency band. What I am
thinking is that the firmware chip may not be fully seated in the
socket, which will cause to DDS output to be on some unknown frequency.
