Bob, Try the menu setting for SPLT SV. It is a per band setting, so you will have to set it for each band of interest. 73, Don W3FPR On 9/1/2013 7:19 AM, KD7YZ Bob wrote: Howdy K3' people: Is there a way that a Band's Split and VFO-B can be retained in K3 Memory between band switching?

Hi Don, Thanks for the pointers. We've just spent half an hour working through all of the steps that Chloe had gone through to install the extras and we spotted a few joints that needed touching up from the previous owner's build. Just tested the radio and we're back to full audio output.

[Elecraft] K3 6KHz Filter and Data Modes

Hey, My widest filter is currently a 2.8 KHz on the main board. If I understand things correctly, if I shift all the filters over a spot, then pop in a 6KHz AM filter for FL1, I can use that for TX and RX Data modes. The reason I ask is that the WSJT-X program is now supporting a full 4KHz wide

There is a 4.2 KHz lowpass filter in the audio chain to the headphones and speaker but it is not present on the Line Out. I regularly use the FM (13 KHz) IF filter for WSJT-X and see 200 - 4200 Hz when the DSP is adjusted correctly. 73, ... Joe, W4TV On 9/1/2013 11:49 AM, Bob wrote:

I don't have a K3, but I operate JT9 and JT65 with a K2. If youuse the K3 in USB mode, then it works the same way as it does for the K2. By convention, the subbands are specified as VFO frequencyon USB. On30 meters. the subband is 10.130. You just leave the VFO (receive) on that frequency.

Hi Mike, I have no K3, but my understanding is that the 10138.7 is the frequency of the suppressed carrier and that 10140.2 means that you set your rig to 10138.7 kHz USB and feed audio at about 1.5 kHz, resulting in TX at 10140.2. So, the QRG reading should not change. Greetings Ralf

Mike, In SPLIT mode the K3's frequency display does not change between transmit and receive. The main receiver's frequency is always shown in the upper (larger) display, and in SPLIT mode the lower display always shows your transmit frequency. So if you want to know what frequency you are

Oops! I missed the fact that the different frequencies in WSPR are because of the audio offset - I imagine it is not using either of SPLIT or RIT/XIT. My mind was set on split because of the earlier posts about WSJT-X. I believe my previous post was correct, but it is probably irrelevant to

Yea, it's not relevant to WSPR. The WSPR modes are just USB SSB modulated by audio tones. By convention, the VFO frequency is set to the bottom edge of the WSPR subband, and your transmit frequency is set by the frequency of the audio tone. So everyone is tuned to the same frequency and occupy
