[Elecraft] K3 double-tap AB does not set data sub-mode?

2014-01-29 Thread Wright, Robert
I have noticed the same issue with my K3 when using the front panel. It also causes problems when trying to set VFO-B from DX Commander (part of the DXLab suite). Through the CAT interface, when I set VFO-A to Data-A and then swap the A and B VFO's, VFO-B remains in FSK-D sub-mode. Bob, N7ZO

This sounds like an interesting project. It would seem that the technique would be finding the offset frequency that provides the best alignment of harmonics, which is what we naturally do by ear. Not difficult, but would probably need a bit of tweaking to provide good real-time performance.
