[Elecraft] Split N/A

2014-10-02 Thread Frank Westphal
Every time I change modes from CW to RTTY or RTTY to CW I get the Split N/A error message. I do not get this message when changing modes from CW to SSB or SSB to CW. Since I am primarily a DXer who works split having to change from split operation before mode change and then change back to

I agree. There are only two valid reasons for a transceiver refusing to obey a direct operator command: to avoid physical damage, or to avoid transmitting illegally out-of-band. So when the operator presses the SPLIT button, the transceiver should do as it's told! Every other make of transceiver

Hi all. I strongly disagree with the words that say DATA, thus AFSK - whistle tones , is the better RTTY contest modes. There are, from my point of several points against this theory. Nor AFSK is the best non contest mode for RTTY. It's just for casual operations, often with radio that doesn't

With AFSK-A the K3 has very a narrow DSP filter to maintain a really good transmit IMD so you need to keep the modulating frequencies within the chosen preset filter range 1275 in my setup. You can use the waterfall to tune but you need to use DATA-A instead of AFSK-A risk is any off

And I do not have any issue with the K3 not going split with RTTY on one freq and CW/SSB on the other. You have to admit operating RTTY and SSB/CW split is not exactly a common mode. However, it would be appropriate when initiating SPLIT from the A-B button that VFO B mode be forced to that
