Dear Elecrafties,
Thank you for your very helpful feedback suggestions, particularly those who
directed me to look for gremlins in the bandpass section of the subRX as the
most likely cause of intermittent subRX operation on 40m. As suggested I

If this doesn't fix it you might want to be more specific as to what data

sound card generated. If sound
Very easy to build Dave. I like the keyboard keyers from K1EL as I am still

Been a while since I was at that load, but I do know you cannot
transmit CW without VOX on. Several rigs I have used do this when
using their internal keyers.

Huh? My K3 maintains separate VOX status for CW and SSB. I can

Ok, then you have something else going on. That was fixed 3.03 or so.

Because DATA A is a generic data mode and the NR algorithm can
distort some data modes. The narrow filter will chop up many

OK, found the manual and it turns out that it was a DSP issue. Strange.
That's never happened before with any firmware prior to 3.10. Anyone come

I'm in the process of upgrading to 3.11 and will keep an eye on things to
see if it happens again.

James,
ERR DSE indicates a DSP firmware problem (no response). Consider also
that you could have a corrupt file on your computer. So yes, download a
new copy (or the new beta version) and re-load the K3. Be certain to
load the DSP Data Tables too.

Hmmm. I forgot that the M1-M4 keys can be used as programmable

itself unusual, but the fact that I've never explicitly programmed it
to do so is. (On the other hand, maybe it's *MY* memory that's going,
