If you'd like to try CW transmit in SSB mode on the KX3, please email me directly and I'll send you the latest field-test firmware.
The usual application for CW-in-SSB is when you're running QRP, or conditions are poor, and the other station can't copy your SSB signal. CW can often still be copied. This feature is often used on 6 meters where operators are very savvy and won't be surprised to hear you switch modes when the band fades. And they probably know CW :) When you hit the key in SSB modes, and CW-in-SSB is enabled, the other station will hear a CW signal at your sidetone pitch. This means you don't have to change modes or futz with XIT, etc. (One caveat: CW-in-SSB doesn't work in split mode, at present. If you hit the key in split mode, you'll see "SPL N/A", i.e., "split not applicable".) CW-in-SSB must be enabled by tapping '1' (PRE) while in the CW WGHT menu entry. You'll see "SSB +CW" when it is on, and "SSB -CW" when it's off. By default this feature is off. 73, Wayne N6KR ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
