Hello Paul, I think you mean 700 Hz (not kHz) for the frequency.  You can set the pitch of the CW note on your radio to fit your own ears. Older rigs just picked a freq and you had to live with it. My old Kenwood TS-820S used an 800 Hz CW offset as did my later Ten Tec OMNI V (a great cw

I have this behaviour on my Yaesu Ft-897. If I set the CW modulation to 700 kHz, then it will move to 1.700 MHz. I thought this was "normal" behaviour, and I was afraid to ask about it (relatively new ham). I haven't tried to do the same on my KX3, but I will get it out and try it. I don't

Tom, As an experiment, try tuning the KX3 to a valid ham band like 160 meters in AM mode, then switch to CW. What happens? 1.000 MHz is in the middle of the AM broadcast band, so that is not a good example.  I am thinking perhaps this is built into the KX3 firmware to prevent transmitting

Hi I don't recall this happening before, but if I am tuned to a signal lets say at 1.000 MHz in AM and then I switch to CW, the frequency display on the radio changes to 1.600 MHz. My K3 and KX2 do not do this. Is there a setting somewhere? I did drop my KX3 at one point recently so I am
