Funny problem with mode changing in split.

If I have FSK-D mode active and I am operating split, if I try to change
mode say to CW, the mode change button changes the VFOA frequency instead.
Only when I hold SPLIT to return to simplex can I change mode.

I have just noticed this happens in CW mode too. Go into split and then try
to change mode. The VFOB area warns that split is not available (even
though it is already operating) and mode down increments the VFOA frequency,
whilst mode up will change to LSB (I'm on 40m) but reports that split is n/a
even though split is still active.

In all cases both VFOs are on the same mode.

I wonder if this is a bug which has crept in somewhere? Running 4.25 on the
K3 and 1.04 on the P3. I have done a quick search of the archives but not
seen this mentioned inso far as I can see.

Maybe it's my age :-)

I do not see any change in the VFO Frequency when I try to change mode
while split in Digital modes.

The "Split n/a" only happens when you try to change to or from digital
mode. If I'm split with both VFOs CW and try to change VFO A to SSB,
it works just fine. Similarly, if I'm split in SSB and change one
VFO to CW it works just fine.

The only "problem" is changing to SSB/Digital or CW/Digital which is
not allowed. If one VFO is digital and the other is CW or SSB, you
can't change the split status ... you will see "Split n/a."

Re: Funny problem with mode changing in split.

Thanks Joe

I've got my head around it now, thanks for your helpful comments.
