Dear OM or YL: Today I did a successful POTA activation using my K3. I usually use a smaller, lower wattage rig, but decided recently to use the K3 portable. I've used the K3 for POTA activation three times before this week -- but all on SSB. Today, I used FT8. I first was on 20M and everything was quite normal. Then I switched to 30M, and I was hearing nothing and friend who I was texting who lives fairly close to the park wasn't seeing my CQs. I had the MODE set to DATA. The friend suggested I switch to USB mode, and lo and below I started seeing signals on my screen and completed several QSOs. I had used DATA mode on 20M and it worked FB. I also later used DATA mode on 40M. Why didn't DATA mode work on 30M? Is there some setting where I have to declare USB or LSB for each band separately for DATA mode? All of this seems very strange to me. I used my K3 before for data modes in the shack, and I don't recall this issue. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. -- 73 de Carl N8VZ
