Joel, Set VFO CRS in the menu to whatever step size you want for each mode - it is a per mode setting. I have mine set to 0.5 for SSB and 0.1 for CW. Make sure RIT and XIT are turned off and the OFS LED is on. 73, Don W3FPR On 9/10/2014 6:43 PM, Joel Black wrote: I cannot remember where I re

With V2.19, it's good to finally get the CW delay issue when using CW in SSB resolved. However, I have noticeable key clicks when using CW in SSB with an external keyer. I hear them both in the KX3 monitor, and listening on a separate receiver. No problem when using the internal keyer, or
