Item for 'Wish list ' maybe
Locked
 
|
This is a software option I would like to have. Maybe it is already
do-able. If so, I hope someone will tell me how. If not, I hope this request
will get put up on the 'Wish List'.
*******************************************
I would like the VFO A display to always show the frequency that the K3 is
using when operating split.
The VFO A should change to the TX frequency when I key down and
jump back to the RX frequency when I key up.
Thus, when operating CW on split, the screen would be flickering all the
time between the two frequencies.
Subsequently, if I try to have a regular QSO, the flickering would be a
constant reminder that I have left the split on (split happens!).
I had this feature on my old Icom 735 and I am missing it on the K3.
Thanks in advance for any advice. Bruce

The K2 does this, Bruce; it's strange that this does not happen with the K3. I agree it should go on the "wish list". 73 -- David G4DMP Leeds, England, UK ------ _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

The K3 does not do this simply because there is a separate display for both VFOs
and are shown at the same time. So you always know what your RX and TX frequencies are. The K2 does this because it does not have a dedicated freq display for VFO B. ------------------------- 73, Greg - AB7R Whidbey Island WA NA-065 On Tue Nov 18 13:47 , David Pratt sent: >In a recent message, Bruce Fleming [hidden email]> wrote ... >> ******************************************* >>I would like the VFO A display to always show the frequency that the K3 >>is using when operating split. >>The VFO A should change to the TX frequency when I key down and jump >>back to the RX frequency when I key up. >>Thus, when operating CW on split, the screen would be flickering all >>the time between the two frequencies. >> >>I had this feature on my old Icom 735 and I am missing it on the K3. > >The K2 does this, Bruce; it's strange that this does not happen with >the K3.

Greg,
What you say simply isn't true if one is using text decode or displaying other "VFO B" slot parameters. 73 de Brian/K3KO Greg - AB7R wrote: >The K3 does not do this simply because there is a separate display for both VFOs > >and are shown at the same time.

What you say is true enough. But I think when most people are operating split they
have the VFO B normal display on and not the alternate display. Of course nothing like that is true all the time...but I think it is true most of the time. I like to operate QSK and to me having the VFOA frequency change rapidly while sending CW would just drive me bonkers....more so than I already am....just ask my dog! :) ------------------------- 73, Greg - AB7R Whidbey Island WA NA-065 On Tue Nov 18 15:07 , Brian Alsop sent: >Greg, > >What you say simply isn't true if one is using text decode or displaying >other "VFO B" slot parameters. >73 de Brian/K3KO > >Greg - AB7R wrote: > >>The K3 does not do this simply because there is a separate display for both VFOs >> >>and are shown at the same time.

Hi,
Before I bought the K3, I too, was concerned about the fact that the main (A) VFO display would not change when transmitting with split enabled, but I am no more. There are a number of indications in the display that I am in split mode, the delta-F LED is lit, the TX arrow points down to the B VFO and unless you have an alternate display in the B VFO it will display the transmit frequency. To have the main (A) display change when transmitting really only makes sense when there is just one frequency display (which is what I was used to, too). And I agree with Greg that having it swapping with each dit on CW would drive me crazy. I also agree that when operating split it is prudent to have the B display set for the B VFO frequency.

Count me in on requesting this (at least have the option to activate this within CONFIG or MENU)
