How to get a pgm like MSHV or WSJTx to read the K3 Sub-Rx QRG ?

So I have two programs running to decode FT8.

By using Left and right chan of the audio (tnx N5TM), the two iterations
of WSJTX can decode the K3 Rx USB Codec 2-Chan-48k audio individually.

Now I would like that WSJTX of the Right-Chan on the Sub-Rx to know the
frequency.

Personally, I am using DxLabSuite's "Commander" to control the K3 ...
and when running this way, I see that Commander "VFO-B" sees the correct
freq.

Anyway, I can't get that QRG out of Commander, but that's alright. I
sent a screenshot if they make it to the list. I also tried to guess a
way outside of "Commander' to make WSJTX read the Sub Band, but cvan't
do that either .

Thus, my question to y'all

the SUB-rx as I can get from reading the MAIN Rx on my K3 .

No one was able to figure it out or had been able to accomplish that.

Sad.

Expensive addition I have which is nearly useless then if the computer
can't effectively control the SUB rx or learn what it is doing.

Elecraft people read here?

Help on this seemingly simple task of which I am unable to solve? (at my
age maybe I never will hi hi)

You should be able to listen on the right channel with a second instance if software. Software must be a different folder on computer. I don’t think you can control the sub from this.

For what you are trying to do you might consider a Flex 6500.

In reply to this post by Bob KD7YZ

It appears that you are looking in the radio to solve the problem you state. That is the wrong place. It is the computer software that has to ask the right question.

The CAT interface for Elecraft radios is published and maintained by Elecraft. It is available at the Elecraft web site for download. As an example, to request
the frequency of VFOA in the K3, the computer would send the string “FA;” to the K3. To retrieve the VFO B frequency, the strings is “FB;”. The computer sends
these strings. If you look at the document you will see there are many strings that retrieve or set information for the main receiver and have counterparts for the
SubReceiver. It is up to the computer software to use the correct one for their use.

The correct course of action would be to contact the authors of the various software programs that you want to access the sub receiver and file bug and enhancement
reports, asking them to support the features you seek. Again, the solution is not in the radio, but rather in the software you use.
