K3 PSK31 split freq?

Hello, using K3 #250 here with 3.63 firmware, etc. Today there was a
V5/DJ on 17m on PSK31. He was calling CQ and listening up. When I tried
to go split I got a "SPL N/A". I vaguely remember someone recently
having same issue and I went to the K3 wiki to do a search but could not
find anything. The K3 will do split for AFSK, FSK and Data A. The manual
does not mention this, at least not on p36 under SPLIT/Cross mode ops
nor on page 31 DATA modes. Any way to do split mode in PSK?
What am I missing? Tnx

Tom,

You can use RIT or XIT in PSK31. We haven't yet added SPLIT for this
mode.

Which data sub-mode were you using, DATA_A? Or were you using
PSK_D with paddle transmission?

I have no problem with split in FSK_D and AFSK_A ... just be
sure that both VFOs are set to the same mode (tap A>B twice
then tune VFO B off and invoking split).

You can also use XIT or for narrow splits simply disable the
"net" function in the PSK31 software if you are not using PSK_D.

Filter talk and contests etc

With all the filter discussions and contest crowded environment etc.

This AM during the 160 contest, I was just tuning and working a
few to give out a point, as I tuned across 1814.0 there was a
10 over 9 6 land station calling cq, and at 1814.35 another 6
land at 20 over 9 calling cq, but between I hear a signal at 1814.2
so narrowing down the K3 I proceeded to work VQ9LA who
was just above the noise level.
Have done this many times since owning the K3 and its a real
tribute to its selectivity and ability to cope with signals loud enough
to squash most receiver front ends.
Im sure it does not make for friends when you come on within a
few hundred cycles and work stations out from under the big
signals, but sure makes for nice DXing on topband.
