In contests, I often call CQ in the REPEAT mode (Hold the M1-4 key for the memory with the CQ in it). I tune the SUB receiver VFO up or down the band to a different frequency, getting ready to search for new multipliers after the CQ ends. On 160 meters at Multi-Multi op station W3LPL, between sending repeated CQ's, I often want to quickly move the SUB receiver to the frequency of a DX Custer spot to check it out. The problem is that the way the K3 firmware is presently written, there is no way of knowing the frequency of the SUB receiver while a CQ is being sent in the REPEAT mode. The LCD readout displays "REPEAT" while the repeated CQ is being sent.
It would be better if the "REPEAT" message displayed on the LCD screen was replaced with the SUB receiver frequency while VFO-B is being tuned. A slight delay in re-displaying 'REPEAT' could be added after the VFO-B tuning stops. Is it only me, or are there other K3 (w/SUB receiver) contest ops who would like this firmware change? 73, Rich - K1HTV ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
