> Changing back to SSB +CW  What is SSB +CW?    73, Jim K9YC  _  Jim: SSB +CW is a mode/configuration whereby one can send CW when in the SSB mode.   The CW frequency is offset from the SSB carrier frequency by the value of the selected CW side tone.  Purpose:  enables

The K3 SSB + CW Power Overshoot behavior has been passed up the Elecraft Tech/Engineering chain.  I expect it may take them some time to get to it, so in the meantime it would be useful for those interested to conduct the test below to determine if the behavior is unique to my K3 or more wide

An afternoon of operating SSB a bit and the CW overshoot behavior has returned. No joy. Hope this gets on the Elecraft bug list. 73, Dan AC6DM __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help:

Bill: Thanks for your input. I did EEINIT yesterday and reloaded all SW. No change. Today, I did EEINIT again and fooled around with the radio in its native state, changing modes, etc. Then reloaded saved configuration and for no particular reason, did a BSET.  Then did a SSB +CW selection. Lo

Interesting! Sounds useful on 6m, for example, when running a contest SSB above 125 and there's a difficult Q where the guy's having trouble with an exchange element. Generally running an amp, so overshoot would be a problem. Thanks for info. 73 Josh W6XU Sent from my mobile device > On

Dan, I experienced a similar issue with my K3, S/N range 4,000. I attempted a TX Gain calibration with minimal improvement. 40m and higher bands (in frequency) worked OK (no overshoot) while lower bands still faulted. I finally performed an EE INIT, reloaded 5.60 firmware, and the last saved

  Josh:   This configuration permits sending SSB as well as CW in one mode (SSB).  CW frequency is offset from SSB frequency by the value of configured CW tone? This is sometimes called "cross-mode" in non-Elecraft nomenclature. Useful to continue a SSB conversation of QSB reduces

I have just attempted the K3 SSB +CW configuration for the first time.  Unfortunately, behavior is not quite as expected; I experience a substantial CW carrier overshoot on first key press and after a subsequent mode change. (Mode change can be a band change or an Operate/Standby change when
