Re: [Elecraft] SPLIT mode reset on band change
Hi Barry, Set CONFIG:SPLT SV to YES. This preserves the on/off states of SPLT, RIT, and XIT on band change.

Barry, Yes, the K3 can save the split state per band if you like. Set Config:SPLT SV to YES. When I first got the K3, the same thing annoyed me. 73, Ted, W2ZK Barry Pfeil wrote: In the year I have had my K3 I have used it mainly for contesting and hardly ever operated in split mode.

Re: [Elecraft] SPLIT mode reset on band change
H, not on my K3 (1740, 3.41). It depends on how you do it. If I go to the next band up with the band up button, split goes off. When I go back down using the band down button, the split is still there. If I go to the next band up using the memory button, split is gone as before but it does not come back when I go back down using the memory button. 73 de W6BK On Oct 15, 2009, at 9:14 AM, Wayne Burdick wrote: Hi Barry, Set CONFIG:SPLT SV to YES.

Re: [Elecraft] SPLIT mode reset on band change
Better yet, wouldn't it be much nicer if the display could change to the Xmit freq. when you're in split mode? I know we have the little yellow LED, and the Tiny little Arrow pointing to the B channel, but having the display actually show you where you're transmitting, like when the RIT is on would be SO much more helpful, and intuitive.

Re: [Elecraft] SPLIT mode reset on band change
In split mode, VFO B is always the transmit frequency, and it is always displayed, unless you have a special display mode in effect. 73, Wayne N6KR On Oct 15, 2009, at 4:59 PM, The Smiths wrote: Better yet, wouldn't it be much nicer if the display could change to the Xmit freq. when you're in split mode? __ 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
Re: [Elecraft] SPLIT mode reset on band change
There in lies the problem, in CW I keep my CWT and text reader on, therefore blocking the freq. of VFO B. I was learned well into remembering when that split was on after I accidently moved up band to call CQ after working a Dxpedtion 1.5Khz away from his transmit freq. and forgot that the split was still on... 10 minutes of CQing later, and with egg on my face, I realized what I was doing, and quickly turned off the rig in shame. I wouldn't normally admit to this, but if it helps others, then I'm all for it... If the display on the VFO A had changed according to the transmit freq. I would have known what I was doing. Mind you, I'll never forget again, that I can tell you. But to save face for others, I would suggest the Disply change.. Oh yes, one other thing, I tend to keep my RIT on, and at any point it can be off by .001 so, you never know if you're in split, or just have the RIT moved off center a bit. You get the idea.

Re: [Elecraft] SPLIT mode reset on band change
Maybe we could obnoxiously flash the Delta F LED when you're in SPLIT. Menu option, of course :) Wayne On Oct 15, 2009, at 5:14 PM, The Smiths wrote: There in lies the problem, in CW I keep my CWT and text reader on, therefore blocking the freq. of VFO B.
