Just a quick thought:
Isn't all this possible by:
-setting VFO A to your SSB prefs
-setting VFO B to your CW prefs.
-make the right offset for sidetone
-link VFO's
-work split A/B

If the receive and transmit modes can each be selected separately using a
front panel control, likewise the transmit frequency offset when required,
it can be done using just one VFO. This leaves the second VFO available for
other purposes such as monitoring another station on

If you have VOX enabled, it may be that strong signals sent to the
sound card via line out are coupling back via line in and triggering
transmit. If so try reducing VOX gain. I ran into a variation on this

Paul,
The ERR KEY message indicates that you have CONFIG:PTT-KEY set to
something other than OFF-OFF and that either the RTS or the DTR line was
set On at the time you restarted.
This may be related to the intermittent TX problem: I find that when

Paul,
You have something activating the keying line - most likely from the
computer.
Set the K3 menu for DTR-RTS to OFF-OFF.
Then in the DM780 configuration, set DM780 to activate transmit through HRD.

Stan,
When you say the receive function is off, I trust you mean that the
RANT menu parameter is set to OFF for 20 meters - that menu setting is
PER BAND (there is no global ON/OFF setting). Please check the menu
while 20 meters is selected.
If RANT is OFF for 20 meters, then let us know if
I can't think what that can possibly be, I take it that you have monitored
the chirp yourself on a separate receiver to actually confirm the chirp is
there and not the result of a fault on the distant receiver? Just a thought,
have you tried removing the KXV3 and see if everything returns to
Check in with k3support. You may have recent firmware, but you also

I for one have to disagree with you on the CW sideband item.
From day one of my hamming days, I have always wanted CW to tune so the
higher pitches were higher in frequency than lower pitched signals
(blame that on my early elmer). So I have come to relate the audio
pitch to the

Based on your question, I am going to assume you are ham budget

A lot depends on what is important to you, and what you want to do
with the rig.
If you are contesting, its a no brainer. The K3 receiver performance
when surrounded by strong signals, is unmatched.
If you want to hunt DX, and dig out weak signals. I would go with the K3.

This is why I emphasized the KNOB, not the VFO. When you swap VFOs A and B by
pressing the A/B button, the locked status follows what was originally VFO B
and
now becomes VFO A. What we want here is for the VFO B KNOB (i.e., the middle
one) to stay locked, regardless of which VFO

I own both and all responses are correct. I tend to take the 897 travelling
because it seems indestructible and it would kill me to damage or lose my K3.
The 897 is a very good radio, the K3 is an exceptional radio. I originally

I'm not sure that the K3 is light years ahead of the 897D in all areas,
but it certainly outperforms them in several. I used to use an FT857D,
