Don (and others who answered): Thanks. I was guessing that the answer to the second question (CW mode TX —> SSB RX) was as you said but entirely confident.
So, given what you are saying on sending CW while in SSB mode, the K3 does the following things: 1. Allows CW to be sent in SSB mode (enabled or disabled). 2. Shifts the actual TX frequency by side-tone monitor frequency per LSB/USB direction. Therefore, given that the RX station is receiving at the same dial VFO frequency reading, they will hear a tone roughly equivalent to the tone determined by my side-tone frequency. Of course, assuming they are the same LSB or USB as I am. As someone else said — “why don’t all transceiver vendors do the same and support this feature”. 73, phil, K7PEH > On Jul 26, 2016, at 5:30 AM, Don Wilhelm <donw...@embarqmail.com> wrote: > > 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. > > 73, > Don W3FPR > > On 7/25/2016 11:34 PM, Phil Hystad wrote: >> I have my K3 enabled to allow the sending of CW in SSB mode.
