You might want to recheck this response. When operating split, the IF response will have the split indicator set. It will return the current frequency at the time the response was sent. If the radio was in receive mode, it will indicate the receive frequency along with the VFO which was active, and an indicator saying this was receive. It the radio was transmitting, the frequency will be the transmit frequency along with the appropriate indicators. If the radio is in split mode, the two frequencies probably won't be the same, but will all the info in the IF command, it should be very clear what is going on.
Logging programs usually just issue IF; commands unless they are given a reason to issue separate FA; or FB; commands. It is very easy for a program to miss the VFO B frequency for this reason. When IF response indicates split being active, it gives the logging program a very good reason to issue the separate FA and FB commands. So, the IF response _does_ change from transmit to receive, and the indicated frequency will change if the two VFOs are set to different frequencies and the K3 is in split mode. - Jack B, W6FB On Aug 16, 2009, at 5:12 PM, Joe Subich, W4TV wrote: > > Tom, > >> Is there any way to tell my logging software the frequency of VFOB? > > That's a question for the author of your software.
