K-3: AFSK-A switching to FSK-D

Hi Guys,

I'm running AFSK-A on my K-3 but it's often switching to FSK-D on it's
own. I thought the once I maually set the Mode to AFSK-A using the "DATA MD"
button that the K-3 would stay put on AFSK-A each time I returned to that
band. If I change band and return it's back on FSK-D. I notice it switches
from AFSK-A to FSK-D even when operating on the same band and clicking on
a Packet Spot.

Is there something else that must be done after I select AFSK-A with the
"DATA MD" button to store this in memory?

Thanks!

Dick- K9OM

Do you use the quick-memory buttons to change bands? If so, you
have to store AFSK-A when you write to memory.

Dick,

If the K3 changes to FSK-D "when clicking on a Packet Spot" as you
indicated, I would investigate what the computer application is sending
to the K3 - it may be sending the commands that make the data mode change.

Does it change if you shut down the software application?
