Don't know if bad drivers is the right term, possibly new drivers might be better. I agree however that trying to fool proof can lead to all sorts of problems. Although I thought [in the early 80's] that this cellular telephone business wouldn't catch on [heavy phone-in-a-bag] ... I am now

The problem isn't drivers or anything like that, it is attempting to deal with application software that does not handle the K3's unique interface. For example, WSJTX 1.4 when controlling *any rig* via DXLab Suite's CI-V Commander sets the frequency (VFO A), turns on split, then sets the

Pushing the button twice is so stressful??!! ...FYI there is a PSK application that will wait expectantly for some one to call you, answer the call automatically, and transfer the message you had for the calling station. I do not believe it completes the log entry however. :-)) Jim,

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

Frank, Like yourself, I do quite a bit of DX RTTY operation using split, and to tell you the truth, I just tried what you are talking about, and you are right! To me honest with you, I hadn't noticed it before because I have a nasty habit of double pushing the SPLIT button before holding it to

I must say, push-push-hold is a reflex for me whenever working split, SSB/RTTY/CW. My only problem is pressing the wrong button -- V-M instead of A-B. HIHI It overwrites one of the memories. This error comes from having my computer and P3SVGA screens at right angles to the K3. Sometimes i'm
