Re: [Elecraft] K3S Split Operation
OK, good idea. 1. I tune the DX station normally. 2. I tap A>B to copy A frequency to B. 3. I press and hold SPLIT to separate RX and TX. 4. While holding REV I tune about “five up” or wherever the DX is listening. 5. I release REV and I see the DX’s frequency again. QUESTION: When I transmit there’s no visual indication on which frequency I’m transmitting. Should there be? Cheers.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Split Operation
You can operate SPLIT, you just can't listen to two frequencies at the same time. Just hold the SPLIT key. Then set VFO A to your receive frequency and VFO B to the transmit frequency. You can temporarily switch the VFOs by holding the REV key. When you let go, it switches back. So when you are working a DX pileup, you tune in the DX station normally. Then tap A->B to put both VFOs on the same frequency. Then you hold SPLIT to separate RX and TX. Then hold REV and tune until you hear the guy the DX is working. Release REV and you will hear the DX again, and your transmit frequency will be where you want to call. 73, Victor, 4X6GP Rehovot, Israel formerly K2VCO CWops no. 5 http://www.qsl.net/k2vco/ On 06/11/2023 4:27, W3FPR wrote: Richard, The K3 (and K3S) does not have capability to operate SPLIT without the subRX.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Split Operation
It is quite simple just long press the A>B button and you will be in SPLIT mode. Tell us what you are doing that is not working Rich PS - I believe Crossband Split is not possible w/o a SUBRX, but not within the same band.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Split Operation
Can’t Work Split without dual receive?! WRONG! I guess I must be an old timer now, but I know that there are many others who have done it the same way as I did …. all that is required to operate SPLIT is the capability to transmit and receive on separate frequencies … that’s what SPLIT operation is … and that can be done using any of the following : (1) separate transmitter and receiver, (2) a transceiver with an outboard remote VFO (or even a wide RIT, XIT), (3) a transceiver with dual VFOs ( like a K3 or K3S WITHOUT subreceiver), or (4) any modern high end transceiver with dual receivers. Most old timers like me made it onto the DXCC Honor Roll back in the day using options (1) or (2). It takes a little more skill and good luck but it can be done …. In my case, most of my DXCC counters were worked SPLIT frequency using an old Kenwood TS-520S with a remote VFO ….I could have randomly chosen a transmit frequency, parked on it and repeatedly called blindly hoping the DX would eventually find me …… but I rarely did that …. Instead, I did lots of quick switching between transmit and receive frequencies and was often lucky enough to find where the DX was listening …. Did it successfully over and over and over …. With just ONE receiver.Ya, I use dual receivers and panadapter now and it is much easier and faster …. but could still do it with my old TS520S if I had to ….

[Elecraft] KXPD2 Keyer
I just received my KXPD2 Keyer. First impressions are that it is very nice. I say that only because the KXPD1 that I got for my KX1 was a booger to adjust. My question is about the extra parts that arrived with the KXPD2, came with a loose spring and two Allen screws. Additionally the photos I have seen of the KXPD2 appear to show locking set screws that I assume lock in the adjustment screws, and on mine those holes are tapped for screws but no screws are there. The instructions mention that there is a compound on the adjustment screws the prevent the adjustment screws from walking out. Are the loose screws and spring spares? Or are they something that I can install? 73 K2CG Chuck G __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
