After my initial report of "no obvious difference" in the receiver

the pleasure of using them in the ARRL CW DX contest on 40 meters last

My friend had his K3 repaired at Elecraft and upon return, LSB is no longer on
the same frequency as CW and USB is no longer on the same as CW-R as his other
K3 is. Seems I remember way back in a previous release note where that could be
set. Anyone know where to set this?
Thanks

I would love to know if there is a setting for this also.
Thanks

If I understand you correctly, I think you are looking at the VFO OFS setting
which is hidden in the CW WGHT menu on page 55 of the manual.

From the K3 Owner's Manual ver D10 pg 29:
SSB/CW VFO Offset
The K3 can automatically offset the VFO frequency when you switch
from SSB to CW mode, so other stations will hear the correct CW
pitch. See CONFIG:CW WGHT for details.
For CONFIG:CW WGHT See page 55 of the Owner's Manual

And in order to make the user interface properly user friendly, we could have a
CONFIG item to set the shock voltage so that the operator suffers unbearable
pain rather than death :-)

HI Wayne
Anyway, a useful indication could be the split (i.e +1.50) offset instead of
the VFO B frequency (user choice based on the DISP status). This is rarely
done by manufacturers (I know the TS-990 which does this) but this is very
useful in practice and avoids mental calculations.

All the talk about split has made me want to build a quick split macro
or memory button.
I started to read the manual but its not making sense to me. I guess
some stuff I just need some help to learn.
Anyway what I think I want is to set up a macro button that would do the

Go to the manual and do the hard reset, then try to reload the firmware. I
had to do this to my KX3 recently when it locked up completely. Involves
removing power, removing one battery, re-installing battery, etc. It's in
the manual.
Good Luck

Here's a simple one. I'll explain it and then tell you how to assign it
to a button.
SWT13;SWT13;FT1;UPB5;SB1;
This does the following:
SWT13;SWT13; A->B, twice
FT1; SPLIT on
UPB5; VFO B up 2 kHz (yes, it's not a typo. The 5 means 2 kHz)
SB1; turn on the SUBRX

Hi Don,
macros are a great feature. As you are building them you can test them
with the Elecraft utility and when you are happy you upload them to the

you can set up a macro for anything you can define as a series of

Well, the UTF-8 character set is indeed designed to be backward compatible with

I am pretty sure that the question about ASCII programming was about the ASCII

And yes, I know about Unicode and UTF-8. I was doing multibyte character set
