Phil,

With CW+SSB turned on, SSB will be sent at the carrier frequency indicated on the VFO. When CW is sent, the frequency is shifted by the amount of your sidetone pitch, so the receiving station will hear a pitch equal to your sidetone pitch.

Note that for normal CW, the signal frequency is the same as indicated on the VFO, i.e. it is different in CW+SSB.

If you are sending in CW mode and the receiving station is listening in SSB - and both VFOs are tuned to the same frequency, they will hear nothing because their receiver will likely not hear a signal at the carrier frequency - that does assume that both stations VFOs are calibrated properly.

I have my K3 enabled to allow the sending of CW in SSB mode.  However, I am not 
sure how this actually works.  Therefore, this question.

If the K3 VFO is dialed into 3850 KHz (for example) and the mode is set to SSB 
and my sidetone monitor of the CW signal is set to 700 Hz (not sure if this 
matters), what will the other station here if I send something in CW while in 
SSB mode on my K3.  In particular:

1.  They are also dialed into the same frequency 3850 KHz, what will they hear: 
a tone of 700 Hz, a tone of some other audio frequency, or no tone at all.  My 
only assumption is that they are in SSB mode and dialed to the same frequency 
as I am.


2.  They (the other station) are dialed into the same frequency of 3850 but 
their mode is CW and not SSB while my mode in sending is still SSB.  Same 
questions, what will they hear?
