Tom, I saw your post in Feb. Did you resolve your issue?

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Diversity Question: RIT
It occurred to me that might be the case after I sent the message. I'm a die-hard contester and have the tendency to view things through that filter. It's easy enough to simply re-tune the receiver when necessary to return to your transmit frequency, pretty much exactly like you'd have to do with the RIT knob. You can also do it without a manual re-tune. If you're running split and tune the receiver (VFO A) slightly off your transmit frequency you can easily return the receiver to the transmit frequency by executing two front panel key presses: A/B followed by A>B. This first puts VFO A on your transmit frequency and the second equalizes the transmit and receive frequencies. You can easily assign the pair of keystrokes to a single macro and store it in one of the PF presets. That's what I do with my setup -- I then actuate the macros using the programmable buttons on my K-Pod. Once you get used to using the main tuning knob instead of the RIT knob you'll never want to go back. 73... Randy, W8FN On 2/25/2021 9:20 PM, Tom Doligalski wrote: Thanks for the input.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Diversity Question: RIT
Yes, you have to lock the VFOs. That is a menu only (or macro). What I have done is to program a macro into PF1 that does A->B, lock VFO, Turn on Diversity. RIT works fine, both RX track.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Diversity Question: RIT
I don't know which contest software package you may be using. If you're running N1MM+ Logger the solution to this dilemma is to equalize the A and B VFOs at the beginning of the run and then turn on Split mode. Then your transmitter will be locked to the VFO B frequency and the receiver can be tuned with the big knob rather than the little RIT knob. This works fine in Diversity mode and I use it all the time for running. N1MM also has a nice configuration feature that will automatically retune the receiver to the TX frequency every time you log a station (at least if you're using ESM). 73...

Diversity is on, and things are working great. Suddenly I receive an off-frequency call, say up a couple hundred Hz. Normally no trouble, as I just use my trusty RIT control to move up and copy him, so I can keep my TX on the original frequency. But, in Diversity, the second VFO remains on the original frequency rather than tracking with the main RX. As a result, I get two signals until I clear the RIT. Am I missing something? I really would like BOTH receivers to track the RIT in Diversity. 73, Tom W4KX __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
[Elecraft] K3 Diversity Question: RIT
I’ve rediscovered Diversity RX on my K3, and have a question. Scenario: I’m working folks on 40M CW with a bit of QSB. Diversity is on, and things are working great. Suddenly I receive an off-frequency call, say up a couple hundred Hz. Normally no trouble, as I just use my trusty RIT control to move up and copy him, so I can keep my TX on the original frequency. But, in Diversity, the second VFO remains on the original frequency rather than tracking with the main RX. As a result, I get two signals until I clear the RIT. Am I missing something? I really would like BOTH receivers to track the RIT in Diversity. 73, Tom W4KX __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
