I installed the newest K3 firmware, 5.54, reset DXLab, MMTTY, and the K3 to
2125 and still get the 850 Hz error when transferring a spot from SpotCollector
to the radio.
I changed all back to low tones, 1225/1445, and get the same error.
Tony, K4QE, reported that he had the problem until he reverted back to K3
firmware release, 5.38, so the firmware must be the problem.
I need the newer firmware for my K-Pod, so I'll live with the apparent defect
RTTY in 5.54 until it's resolved.

Got it. I installed the newest Beta, and it didn't fix the 850 Hz shift
problem, so I need to experiment some more.

You are remembering it incorrectly. The 1, 2, 5, and 10 buttons only turn on
SPLIT.

The pitch in the K3 is still set to 1275 for my 1275/1445 low tones, and WW
still has the Mark Offset of -1275 and an Optimal Offset of 1360.
I'm referring to the buttons 1, 2, 5, and 10 above the frequency in the VFO B
panel of Commander. They do still turn on split in the radio and offset the
VFO B frequency correctly. I thought they were also supposed to turn on my
subreceiver and check the Dual receive box in the VFO A panel. Maybe I am not
remembering that correctly.

An 850 Hz offset *sounds like* either your K3 or WinWarbler has been reset to
2125/2295 Hz. *CHECK BOTH* "Pitch" in the K3 and "Mark Offset"/"Optimal
Offset" in the FSK panel of WinWarbler's Configuration dialog.

I've used DXLab Suite (Commander) for years with the K3 and do not know what
button in the VFO B panel to which you refer. There are
*two* check boxes in the VFO A panel - one turns split on/off (equivalent to
holding A -> B on the K3 front panel) and the other turns the Sub RX on/Off
(equivalent to tapping Sub on the K3 front panel).
I'm using FW 5.52 at present and all radio control features of DXLab Suite work
just the same as they have in prior versions of the K3 firmware.
