Lee and Jeff,
By registers, I think you are referring to those bits which must be set
to select the various options a particular PIC pin may be used for.
(If not skip the rest of this posting.)
Setting these registers is the bane of PIC programming.
There is a tendency for the programming

Exactly. I'm a new K3 owner (~1 week) and had the same issue a few days into
ownership.VFO B was in a mode other than DATA A.
To prevent it from happening again, I added a double tap of A-B to my go
to RTTY macro, which copies the mode of VFO A to VFO B, so both VFOs are
always the proper

If the Split function were to include a A-B like I suggested recently,
this would not be an issue.
Some condemned this suggestion as a bad idea, but I doubt that they
operate much or they would know what a pain in the neck this is.
The logic should be:

I have tried to use Wayne's suggestion for setting APF on for one preset and

That isn't quite what I meant. You need to set CONFIG:DUAL PB to APF.
Now select preset I, and turn APF ON by holding the DUAL PB switch.
Then switch to preset II and turn APF off again using the DUAL PB
switch. From then on you should be able to alternate between I and II
and have
John,
If you have no de-soldering tools, try to get the solder out with wick,
but if that fails, cut the jack apart and remove the pins one at a time.
I don't see any advantage to not using the headphone jack. Who knows,
the new one may last forever.

Another way to treat that jack more gently is to use a right-angle adapter.
That greatly shortens the level arm sticking out in front of the K2.
Can't say it's the reason, buy my 11 year old K2 still has the original jack
even though I use phones 100% of the time (and a right-angle adapter).
I don't find anything Liddish about the 3x3 calling sequence when not
working a pileup, working a string of stations on a particular frequency or
contesting.
Indeed, what I find poor practice are those who try to answer my CQ with
only their call sent once. I can't tell if they are calling me, if

I have to confess that you have a very good point there. We are so used
to having good legally backed warranties in the EU that we forget that
they have to be paid for! We mistakenly assume that nothing will go

How do you K3/N1MM users interface the MMTTY engine?
Assuming you are using FSK (FSK D), you need two serial ports. One
port is used by N1MM Logger for radio control (connected to the K3

the TxD line drives an open collector
If one VFO is data mode (DATA A, AFSK A, FSK D, PSK D) and the other
