[K3] KAT3 not functioning on 6m

aa4vt
Bill,

It looks like you have uncovered the same apparent firmware glitch I did. I
have verified a few friends have the same issue. It is very repeatable on
K3 and K3S's.

I was using split mode for WSJT-X and when I would press Tune while in Data
Mode A to tune my KPA-1500, I get zero power output. If I take the rig out
of Split mode, it works just fine. Put it back Split mode, still works
fine. Turn the rig off and on again, zero power out again.

My solution was also to run WSJT-X in Fake It mode, but I really would
prefer to be able to use Split mode. Maybe one day one of the firmware
updates will correct that.

Thank you!

Re: [K3] KAT3 not functioning on 6m

Nr4c
Tune before you run wsjt.

The ATU I think forces the VFO into CW mode. Split in a DATA Mode is not allowed if one VFO is not in same DATA Mode.
