The reason for programming a default smart split is to move the TX VFO
*away* from the frequency of the DX station. How far to move? is a
secondary issue.
No single value of frequency offset can be optimum for all modes, but
anything is better than leaving it at zero! As a frequent user of Split
I'll agree with that Ian, set it a 3KHz, then let the user define his own split
offset once split is activated.

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,
Im not sure I would like this at all. sometimes I think that
fool-proofing a rig is the wrong way to go as it take the ownership away
from the operator to pay attention to what they are doing and panders to
the shall I say the bad drivers. if I am working split I make it habbit
to set offset
Other transceiver manufacturers recognise the need for better
protection against that hugely embarrassing mistake, which is why
Smart Split has become an industry standard. With one notable
exception.
If you are going to do a Smart Split it needs *its own control.*
I *DO NOT* want the Split
I just confirmed that offsets in the latest NaP3 setup menu have no
effect when in AFSK A. As someone reported, either here or elsewhere,
this is apparently a bug in NaP3, and since NaP3 is no longer supported
I'll have to find another solution. Too bad - it was *so* close to perfect.

After the discussion here and on the RTTY reflector I checked with AA5AU and
W0YK (aka P49X)
as they are the go to guys for anything related to rtty contesting. Here's
what they said:
AA5AU CR/LF before and space after
W0YK CR/LF before and space after (there are some building block

In a recent discussion about SPLIT, many proposals were made (too
many :) Others argued for no change.
With this in mind, we've created a new switch macro feature. It
allows you to create your own variation on SPLIT -- or
Hello,
It's been a while since we've seen firmware updates for the K line -- is
there any chance that the RIT bug described below will be fixed this year?
Thanks,

If you have a PX3 and KX3 and would like to try the PX3's new text display
feature, please email me directly.
Here's how it works:
- The PX3's LABEL switch (hold of MENU) now has three settings: Normal (no
labels or text), FN labels, or text decode.
- When text decode is selected, two lines
If you use DXLab's Commander radio control module, you can create
user-defined controls that don't have the length limitation of the K3.
However, the program already has the capability to do splits of plus or
minus 1, 2, 5, or 10 kHz with a mouse click.

Pete,
I guess I don't understand. I use NaP3 and PSK31 without a problem.
I may not understand how you are configured. I use either DM780 or
FLDIGI and spot my signals on that and click in that window for a
signal. I do not use NaP3 or the KX3 for demodulation or decoding of any

That doesn't address the issue of resetting the VFO B mode when
pressing split (or when an external program commands split) if the
modes are different e.g., SSB vs. DATA or CW vs. DATA or the VFOs
are on different bands (VFO IND = YES).

Hi Sid,
Thank you for confirming that it works. I think the second part is a
question for the Elecraft folks.
Elecraft,
If the KX3 is manipulated with the UP/DN commands via the serial port, is
that reflected to the PX3 in the same way that a VFO knob turn on the KX3
does?

Hi Nick,
I am trying that now and it looks like the KX3 is not giving the PX3 the new
frequency information. I'll pass this on to Wayne.
Thanks for finding it!
Kind regards,
Paul

Harlan,
I was waiting to see if anyone from Elecraft would respond before
replying. I use a different transverter for 2m but the situation is
the same using the K3. RF output appears to drop quickly above
30-MHz when in the transverter mode though receive seems functional
to 32-MHz

That's right, you don't.
RTTY in AFSK A is a different animal from PSK31 in DATA A. In AFSK A,
the K3's dial displays the actual Mark frequency of the RTTY signal, not
the BFO or suppressed carrier frequency as in DATA A. The expectation

You're right. I didn't understand what you were trying to do. I
would never have seen what you are referring to as I wouldn't operate as
you describe; it never occurred to me to do so. And, I use NaP3 V3.1
which may also have some subtle differences.

I am getting ready to set up my K3 KPA for remote operation and will
have to modify the KPA to K3 AUX cable for remote power on/off. How have
others added the wire at pin 11 at the K3 to pin 8 at the KPA? Have you
torn apart a standard VGA cable and changed the connections, or just
made up a

Yup, I well remember the day when Wayne announced the macro facility -
and a very fine day that was! From that day, I have used a personalized
SPLIT macro that sets the K3 up just right from a single button-press,
and avoids all risk of appearing on the wrong frequency or seeing that

Perhaps someone upgraded to the P3 and would like to sell

Interesting. I was beginning to think something like that, but I had to
data to support that.
I was running V4 for a while, but I had trouble with it playing nice
with some other stuff I run. So, I dumped it and went back to V3.1. This
configuration appears to be quite stable and plays nice
I somehow ended up with an as new K2 top cover with the speaker mounted in
it, the tape has never been taken off the back holes, only the headphone
jack has been installed. There are no marks or scratches on it.
I'll sell it for $25 including priority mail shipping. PayPal or Postal

Hi guys:
Last year, I had wonderful success controlling my big station (K3,
KPA500,KAT500) on Maryland's Eastern Shore from our winter home in Key West.
When I took the setup down last May, I carefully documented every step required
to set things back up.
Well, I have just gone through that
