K3: PSK31 will not allow Split operation.

W1XT-2
K3 PSK31 will not allow Split operation.

New kit K3 S/N 8156 basic setup, one 250 Hz filter option. No other options.

In PSK-D mode, the K3 will not allow receiving on VFO A and transmitting on VFO B. The message SPL N/A comes up when holding the Split button.

In FSK-D RTTY Split works fine. Other modes work fine for Split as well.

Both VFO A and VFO B are on the same mode and band.

Is there some reason that would cause Split not to work with PSK31?

Thanks,

Bob W1XT

PSK31 SPLIT:

Folks,

It seems the solution is there is no solution. PSK31 SPLIT appears unsupported in the K3 and the KX3. The argument seems to be PSK31 is never used in SPLIT operation. But W1AW/* uses Split for pileups. And many DXpeditions have used it (T32C for instance). While I rarely use any digital mode other than CW, I thought it was nifty to have RTTY and PSK31 as part of the K3. Turns out it is near nifty. :)

Ah, but maybe SPLIT for PSK31 is on on the list of things to come later… or have I missed something?

If you want to run PSK31 split, use LSB or USB modes, being sure to turn off
the compression and any equalization.

There is also RIT or XIT-- provided the split value isn't huge.
Also with subrx, one can do split just fine in PSK.

Have you tried using XIT?   I seem to remember working one of the W1AW/x
stations that was listening up 2 using the XIT control to offset my
transmitter.

And yet another solution comes to mind, if you are using DM-780 you can
lock your transmit frequency on the waterfall and move the receiver
about as needed.  Kind of a reverse operation in this context but it
works.  I use the lock feature frequently when working a station that
walks about when I do not want to chase them up and down the band.

Thanks everyone. For every complicated question, there is a simple answer: XIT.  Gee, amazing.
