Re: [Elecraft] K3 and Split
Hi Chris, You can set CONFIG:SPLT SV to YES, which will preserve the states of SPLIT, RIT, and XIT on a per-band basis. You may also have a logging program issue as noted by Joe. 73, Wayne N6KR On Sep 30, 2009, at 9:31 AM, Chris Page wrote: > Help please! > > Does anyone know of a way to enable the K3 so that when you change > bands, it stays in split mode? > > I only operate CW and like using the K3 in split mode, but find it > frustrating when I change to another band, the K3 goes back to normal > mode. __ 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

That is a function of your logging program. If the logging program commands both VFO A and VFO B it will be correct. The logger must be turning off split as simply sending a set VFO A and set MODE commands will not take the K3 out of split unless the new frequency is on a different band (the K3 will not do split across bands). 73, ...

Re: [Elecraft] K3 and split mode
Hmmm - didn't realise I could tune while doing that - don't find it very convenient, but it works. Thanks Bill.

Touch REV and, while depressing it, tune the large knob to the QSX frequency. Release REV it to listen on the DX frequency. With a little practice you can do this with one hand. I normally use my left index finger to depress REV and my pinky tunes the large VFO knob.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 and split mode
The one thing I would like is to be able to flip which knob controls VFOB. So I can tune the QSX freq with the larger knob. I don't want to change anything else around that - that is, I want to keep VFOA as A and B as B and transmit on B freq. Yes, I know I can flip A/B, tune and then flip back, but I'd prefer not to. However, it's something possibly for the future and I don't want it to detract from all the other work Wayne/Eric, et,al are doing.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 and split mode
setting and tune for callers with a wide setting. If you are as accustomed to doing this as I was with my TS-930S, it's *almost* as good as having a Sub receiver. 73, Bill W4ZV Agreed, Bill. On other transceivers, I really do not need a second Rx as long as separate b/w can be assigned to each VFO. I think a good op can manipulate the VFOs every bit as effectively as one with two Rx -- and I am by no means a great DX op. This feature was a real benefit with the Ten Tec Omni VI/VI+ that the current Omni VII lacks but should be incorporated in a forthcoming firmware update. Without this ability, operating DX-split without the second Rx is a pretty painful experience. I am pleased to hear this is already part of the K3 feature set.

This is similar in function to the T-F SET button on the TS-930S if you've ever used that. One nice feature is that you can set different bandwidths for A and B so you can listen to the DX with a narrow setting and tune for callers with a wide setting.
