than the factory defaults. If someone who is adept with using ASCII on the K3
is willing to help, I would appreciate meeting you off-list.

OK what did I do ? Been working on cw and external noise canceller for

Thank you Joe. That is a good suggestion. However I have checked and as far
as I can tell there is no conflicting PTT actions. I also use DATA A as the
recommended mode in the KX3 and do not use VOX. I believe that PTT is either
via RigCAT or Hamlib, and no PTT port is provided in the Fldigi

I am pretty sure that the question about ASCII programming was about the ASCII
protocol to Elecraft rigs. That truly is ASCII, complete with control
characters.
And yes, I know about Unicode and UTF-8. I was doing multibyte character set
programming before Unicode.

Subject: [Elecraft] Installing New Synthesizer Boards
Is it necessary to remove the KRX3 to install both synthesizer boards and
ASCII? That is a character set that is a subset of Unicode, which is now used
on all modern computers. It isn’t something you program with, it simply
represents characters. On the Mac we do not use ASCII coded characters, but
rather Unicode characters, usually coded in UTF-8.
What is it that
ASCII...
Well, the UTF-8 character set is indeed designed to be backward compatible with
ASCII but it is far more than that -- and even these days many programmers do
have trouble with UTF-8. Why? Because UTF-8 is a multi-byte, variable length
character encoding system. Sure, the backward

When I attempt to update my rig I receive a message does not appear to be an

successfully many times since I have had the unit. This message appears with
every attempt. I would really appreciate help with this problem.
All the talk about split has made me want to build a quick split macro

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

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.

Go to the manual and do the hard reset, then try to reload the firmware. I

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

with new synt there is any advantage other than better ppm to use external OCXO

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

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.
