Re: [Elecraft] New K3 user... Can't figure out how to set up, and use sub receiver

2021-06-20 Thread Ed Cole
When I first set up for digital modes on my K3 (probably in 2010) when I long-pressed DATA MD and rotated VFO-B to select DATA-A it came up in LSB instead of USB.  I was on 28-MHz so SSB ran USB, but not DATA.  I do not recall exactly, but I forced it to USB (I think using the MODE button).
