I lock the main tuning (VFO A) on the DX ... prevents uh-ohs. I then rest
my left fingers on the top front edge of the K3 and hold the REV button
with my left index finger as needed while tuning the main VFO with my right

You're kidding, right? You're going to hold in a button to listen to the DX?
If too many people are doing this then it's no wonder people are calling while
the DX is transmitting.
You want to listen to the DX, not the callers. What do you learn from them?

Bill,
I for one would not want to have your proposed 'solution'.
When you do REV, the VFOs exchange from VFO A to VFO B. When in REV,
one would normally do tuning with the VFO A knob (because what was VFO B
is now VFO A).
Messing with the VFO B knob while in REV will change the frequency of
I don't have the KRX3 either, I'm not really sure what I'd do with it.
I watch the pile on the P3. Ordinarily, on something not as popular as
Navassa, when the DX answers, the pile dies quickly, and then one [OK,
maybe two] signals pop up. I park VFO B next to him and call next.
Sometimes it'
Like Don, N5LZ, I've been playing in the K1N 15M pileup.
However, I don't have a KRX3, so I'm using the REV button to
listen to the pileup. My user interface problem comes from

knob to the big knob when I press REV.

EXTFSK is only required if a USB-Serial interface is used which doesn't have

You are stating that you are trying to use FSK. MMTTY requires "EXTFSK"
to be added to the MMTTY folder for it to be functional for FSK. Also
EXTFSK needs to be configured. A small window will appear showing the

Hi Tighe,
