What does make sense to me is to have ALL contests be restricted to less
24 hours or less. Why take a whole weekend? The work angle don't work for

Previous status updates were dated Sept 6th, 18th and 29th. No
precedent that they should be weekly. The shipping status page still
states that shipments are currently targeted to begin shipping week

is an old saying that no
It all depends on the use of the rig. If the rig is for contesting then
more than likely one will want knobs. You wouldn't want to be jumping
around with your mouse between software applications (contest software,
rig control software). Its not very efficient.

Been checking the command from Logger32 to the K2 when directly entering a
frequency eg. 18073kHz:

FRO cancels split and presumably CW reverse as well.

My fuzzy memory tells me that this has been discussed before on the

it that way, but I just don't remember why - but I do recall that it was
controversial.

The IF tap is ahead of the roofing filter, so it is only limited by the

I am sure we can have many points of view on this topic. I happen to be in

Hi Rich,
Actually, and correct me if I am wrong on this, but I believe that one
of the bigger issues with SDR's right now is with latency. There is some
delay in the processing of the signal on the computer which can cause
effects such as slower turn around time for CW/Digtal Modes, slightly

Mike,
FR0 sets the receiver to VFO A - which is appropriate when
clicking on a spot (set operation to the main VFO or main receiver),
set frequency, then set the transmit frequency if different and
finally turn on split).
It is the MD3; command that is setting normal CW (MD3; is CW,
I've been having power on problems with my K3 since picking it up last

immediately upon pressing the POWER button. Sometimes the power on would be
delayed and other times it just wouldn't happen. But, usually, after
Hi Ed,

I once had similar problem that I traced back to the
(molex) power connector on the back of the
transceiver. The slightly open DC to the radio at
the connector was tightened down and the fresh flow
of power to the radio cured it.
G'day Joe,
From the KIO2 programmer's ref:
FR (RX VFO Assignment and SPLIT Cancel; GET/SET)
SET/RSP format: FRn; where n specifies the receive/transmit VFO: 0 for VFO
A and 1 for VFO B.
Sending an FR SET command always cancels SPLIT mode.
So, it looks like there is no option but to remember
There is another way to do what you want (assuming I understand what
you want...). Use the SW09 command to toggle between the two VFOs.
This is the same as tapping the A/B key, and does not cancel SPLIT mode.
