K3: How to set Split in PSK31 Data mode

Lu Romero - W4LT
Hi all:

A local friend brought this to my attention.  

Seems he is trying to set Split on PSK31 using the radio built in PSK31
keyer/decoder and terminal via RS232.  When he tries to set Split, the radio
tells him "SPL N/A".

I tried this, and I can set Split to function normally in RTTY, both AFSK
and FSK, but I get the same indication when I try to set a Split using PSK
31.  Im not a digital mode person, but I do understand that you can do this
sort of thing using a computer decoder.  My friend prefers not to use a
computer, and really enjoys the internal PSK transmit/receive feature using
the CW paddkes.

He tells me the manual does not explain the issue.  He's right!

He does not have a second receiver.  I do, and can work around the issue
this way.  I can also work around the issue by using XIT, but it is
cumbersome.

Is this a firmware bug or is this normal?  What's the secret to setting
split in PSK31?

Thanks for the input!

Re: K3: How to set Split in PSK31 Data mode

S Kosmetatos
Hey guys,

I was glad to see Luis' question on this as I ran into this issue as well
using PSK over the weekend, and though HRD has a split mode, it wasn't as
intuitive or as handy as just being able to invoke a split mode using the
VFOs.

Is this working as designed for this particular data mode, or am I too
missing something in the configuration?

Thanks,

Kos, N4NIA

Re: K3: How to set Split in PSK31 Data mode

Gary Gregory
I am puzzled as to why split would be used in PSK-31??? Given the mode it
is, the band width used etc, etc......

I have not come across stations operating split on PSK-31 but then that is
most likely my fault as I don't use that mode very often nowadays...:-)

If one is using DATA A as appropriate for PSK31 with HRD, you should
be able to invoke split.  Note *BOTH* VFOs must be in DATA A before
one can invoke split.

Split is not applicable in PSK D mode (paddle -> DATA) as that is
apparently a limitation in the DSP implementation at the present
time.

I have used software that allows independent selection of RX and TX
frequencies, within the audio bandwidth.  Left-click for RX, right-click
for TX.  Most notable is "Hamscope", but I have seen others.

Re: K3: How to set Split in PSK31 Data mode

In reply to this post by Lu Romero - W4LT
I dont know either, Gary... Usually, when I operate PSK31, I
use the computer, and since I dont use that mode too often
either, I have never run into the need to run split.

But it is a valid question... Why cant you set split in
Digital mode PSK on the radio, yet you can set it for RTTY
and AFSK...

Seems to me it should make no difference to the radio.
Maybe it has something to do with the firmware decoder for
PSK31.

Re: K3: How to set Split in PSK31 Data mode

S Kosmetatos
Joe, W4TV may have hit on the answer - both VFOs muct be in DATA A mode; I'll
have to wait to get home to check this out. This of course wouldn't allow
cross-mode operation, though I don't see that happening with these particular
modes.

I've seen two DX stations on PSK in the last two weeks using split mode - the
latest was an A4 on PSK-63 this past weekend advertising he was listening 1-2
UP. He had a rather robust pileup going.... I can see the usefullness of this
for DXpeditions that would choose to operate on PSK.

Kos, N4NIA

Re: K3: How to set Split in PSK31 Data mode

Bob Naumann W5OV

At the risk of beating the same old expired equine, this is because the
radio's SPLIT function is disabled unless you already have the other VFO
and mode set in a way that allows you to go SPLIT. This is a bad thing and
a flaw in the K3's operational logic.

I have pointed out that this is a flaw previously, and yours is just
another example that proves the point.

The way it should work is that when you PRESS and HOLD SPLIT,

***AND *ONLY IF* both VFO's are NOT on the same band and mode***

the radio should do a VFOA->VFOB and then enable SPLIT. Otherwise, if both
VFOs are already on the same band and mode, it should only enable SPLIT
without first making the VFOs equal.

The error message that it won't allow SPLIT when the VFO and mode is
different serves no useful purpose and is a waste of time. Talk about
ergonomic overhead!

73,

Bob W5OV

Re: K3: How to set Split in PSK31 Data mode

Buck - k4ia
Press 2 times quickly to transfer both frequency and mode to VFO B.  
Then, press and hold to go into Split Operation.

Or, even easier, using a program like WinWarbler that decodes multiple
traces, you can pick your transmit frequency and watch the receive side
in a separate frame.  That is the way I would do PSK split.

Re: K3: How to set Split in PSK31 Data mode

Lu Romero - W4LT
In reply to this post by Lu Romero - W4LT
Umm, Bob:

BOTH VFO's *are* in DIGITAL D/PSK31.  The radio still wont
do split in PSK31 mode.

Methinks its in the intrnal PSK31 Decoder DSP functionality,
as Joe W4TV mentions.

I bet you used to be an Icom user.  :)

Re: K3: How to set Split in PSK31 Data mode

Hi Luis,

At present the K3 firmware won't allow split in PSK-D mode. It's  
possible for me to add this, but there are several internal  
complications to deal with. Since there have been very few requests  
for PSK-D/Split, it's pretty far down on the task list. Sorry about  
that.

Re: K3: How to set Split in PSK31 Data mode

Lu Romero - W4LT
Thanks, that is what I now surmised.  No problem, dont break anything to fix
this.  I will pass it along to my friend Frank who uses PSK31 Digital D a
lot (I dont).  I served him some KoolAde a year or so ago and coverted him
from TenTec.  :)

See you in Dayton!
