Hello Guy, Ian, Don, Eric, Ed…... Very enlightening posts, thank you! As a ham who has only, in the last 12 months, returned on air after 30 years, this information is very relevant. So on your advice I did some more testing and can confirm that using WinK3Suite remotely via the RemoteRig

You haven't adjusted to on-screen technology, because paper technology is familiar. That was the main point I saw in Guy's note. Many of us hams are hung up on analog technology, and some of us insist on imposing this on digital technology such as the K3. We want the K3 to work like the old

Eric, As an old duffer who has done lots of scientific writing over the last 60 years, I have never found that I could ACCURATELY proofread from a computer screen. For some reason, my eye skips over some really howlers which I do catch in the printed copy. And along with this is the

A very enlightening post, Guy. Almost every new technology ever invented experiences the same thing. New users tend to work hard to make the new technology work just like the old technology did. Instead of developing new procedures to fit very different technology, they make the new technology

[In the following text, "both the K3 and the K3S" is represented by "K3/S". Text applicable to only one or the other will be "K3" or "K3S"] Hi Graham. With a warm smile, a soft voice, and friendly demeanor. I have had to go through this post-analog era "de-analoging" my own radio perceptions,

Graham, You are sending CW with audio tones, so that is a natural consequence. I suggest the only "fix" is to put the K3S into SPLIT mode, set VFO B 600Hz lower than VFO A and then link the VFOs (LINK is a menu function now). 73, Don W3FPR On 9/22/2016 1:37 AM, Graham Alston wrote: Hi,

Graham, DATA-A mode is typically used for PSK-31 and some other digital modes. Try using CW mode for CW and see if that doesn’t help resolve the issue. Hope this helps. 73 de, --Ian Ian Kahn, KM4IK Roswell, GA EM74ua km4ik@gmail.com 10-10 #74624, North Georgia Chapter #2038 PODXS 070
