I want to Echo Rob's question and wonder if it is possible to implement some
basic autotune algorithm similar to pressing SPOT button in the following
situation:
When I call CQ in PSK D and someone comes back to my call slightly off
frequency, I have to enable RIT and try to manually tune to a signal to get
it decoded. That is not easy. I would like to see the situation when
enabling RIT in these two DIGI modes would start autotune algorithm
automatically.

Excuse me while I learn what questions to ask,
Wondering if there is a logging and more program that will allow use of
CW and the PSK D and FSK D modes of my KX3 in a more complete application
than the KX3 utility terminal?
Secondly...how do you tune in stations using PSK D and FSK D? I find it
very difficuly especially with other psk and rtty stations nearby.
I haven't gotten NAP3 or the KX3Companion to tune correctly as yet except
for SSB and CW wher they do a fine job.

Joe you are correct that if there are physical problems and poor
adjustments it will be bad but I was assuming a good working setup
with a quality sound card that is properly adjusted at both the
computer and K3 that it will be fine.
Unfortunately, that is not a good assumption. Even the best of
stations with *professional* operators and maintenance can have
adjustment problems or equipment failures (I've documented such
even at W1AW in the last couple years). When you add in the
relative inexperience of someone new at sound card based digital
modes, conditions become very bad very quickly and I can provide
example after example of maladjusted rigs, improperly operating
home brew interfaces, etc.
At least, by placing a narrow filter in the transmit audio path,
the K3 prevents the greatest number of those errors. Other rigs
with no monitor, no audio controls, ineffective ALC, and no audio
filtering become QRM generators if one looks at them cross-eyed.

I hope that they add the ability to monitor Transmit signal on the
P3 to see how it looks going out. however you can see your real signal
by watching your signal on the many online SDR's, http://websdr.org/,
that have waterfall displays in real time.

Not quite accurate ... one can have a professional quality sound card
and if the levels are too high, the connections are not correct, the
ground gets opened, one has a significant degree of common mode RF on
the feedline, one has power supply issues, etc. DATA_A can be very
badly distorted/wide. AFSK A is not subject to those issues as long
as the narrow filter (CONFIG: AFSK TX) is enabled.

With AFSK-A the K3 has very a narrow DSP filter to maintain a really
good transmit IMD so you need to keep the modulating frequencies
within the chosen preset filter range 1275 in my setup. You can use
the waterfall to tune but you need to use DATA-A instead of AFSK-A

get transmitted not really a big issue if the sound card is good

frequency so tuning with the VFO was quite convenient without the P3
I
may have been more tempted to use Data-A and tuning with the mouse

Why only tune the radio, and not use the Waterfall?
