K3 Memory Editor

[David Pratt]

I have been trying to use the K3 Memory Editor but am having a problem
with it when trying to set the Repeater Offset on 50 MHz (6 meters) to
+0.5 (as it is in the UK).  Reading from my K3, the Offset field in the
editor is blank.  If I enter +0.5 there and then send it to the K3 it
sets my K3 to +0.6.

Is the Repeater Offset on 6 meters +0.6 in the USA?  If so, can a +0.5
offset provision be made in the Memory Editor please?

The intent was to allow entry of an arbitrary offset by typing it in. I'll add 0.5 to the stock table so that it also appears in the initial pull-down

David,

The 6M repeater offsets here in the US are either 1.0 or 1.6 MHZ.  There are
exceptions, but not many.  A duplexer for only a .5 MHZ frequency separation
would be difficult to build.

It's obviously not too difficult for the repeater keepers in the UK,
Ken. All the 6 metre repeaters on 50MHz have a input/output offset of
500kHz.

that's why you folks in Europe get things done.
On this side, it's called "mass confusion" leading to no progress.

David,

FWIW back in the Stone Age when I had VE callsigns, the input/output
offset of the N.American 2m repeaters was usually 600 kHz. The same offset
was used on 6m, although there were not any local repeaters on 6m at the
time (1950-1974)
