Re: [Elecraft] ATU TUNE does not work in DATA A Split mode

[Michael Eberle]

Apparently I forgot to quote the original message I was replying to.  It 
happens in Data mode only on 6 meters.  It does it with both VFOs on the 
same frequency (i.e. 50.276) or with one VFO a few kHz away, both VFOs 
in Data mode.  I probably would have never noticed it had it not been 
for JT65 since WSJT-X always turns SPLIT on automatically and moves VFO 
B around depending on where you are on the waterfall.

I can power up the K3 and open WSJT-X on my computer and select 6 meters
which usually causes SPLIT to turn on.  Hold TUNE and the TX keys and the
display shows 0 power.  Turn off SPLIT and it puts out power as usual.  Then
if I turn SPLIT back on, it will then output a carrier as usual.

If SPLIT is enabled on 6 meters and you run a TX gain calibration, it will
fail the calibration because the TX puts out no power.

It's not a major issue but an annoyance since I tend to forget about it
every time I switch from HF to 6 and try to check my antenna tuning.

Thanks,

Was this issue ever resolved?  I have noticed the same thing with mine
although the issue does not appear to be the tuner itself, but the K3 is not
transmitting any power so the tuner has nothing to work with.  I am running
FW version 5.60 an have this issue but only on 6 Meters.

You need to make sure both VFO A  B are in the same mode, else you will 
get N/A.

 Has anyone noticed that ATU TUNE does not work (properly) when in DATA A
 Split mode?  The relays clatter for about three seconds but no RF is
 produced and no SWR reading is resolved.  If I drop Split, ATU TUNE works
 fine.  I'd appreciate if someone else could verify if their K3 is behaving
 the same way.  FW is 03.41.  Thanks.

 P.S. ATU TUNE Split mode works FB in AFSK A and FSK D.  Split is N/A in 
 PSK
 D.

Re: [Elecraft] ATU TUNE does not work in DATA A Split mode

[Rob May]

I can confirm this behavior.  In Data A mode split, no (or very, very little) 
rf out.  Exit split mode and get ~5w during tune.  Also, when the TUNE (not atu 
tune) button is pressed, the display which normally shows swr displays -- and 
power reads 0.0.  When you hit the tune button again to exit ERR TXG is 
displayed.  FW 3.41.
