[K3] Split N/A in DATA A?

[Jim AB3CV]

Is there a technical reason why split isn't available in DATA-A?

It would be nice to use since DATA-A nukes all the equalization stuff and
would allow WSJT to do split as needed.

Elecraft K3 remembers the MODE per VFO; when it says "SPLIT N/A", it
is because VFO A is in MODE=DATA, but VFO B is in some other MODE. To
fix it: switch VFO_A/B, change MODE to DATA, switch VFO_A/B, then hold
SPLIT.

Jim,

Since most soundcard data applications will allow the TX frequency and
the RX frequency to be different on the waterfall, there is usually no
need to put the K3 into split mode unless the offset is greater than the
2.7 kHz bandpass.  Check your WJST software to see if it can lock the TX
frequency while allowing the RX frequency to be changed via mouse-click.

Yes, the K3 can do split in DATA A mode, but you must double tap the A>B
button to transfer the mode and other settings as well as the frequency
( a single tap transfers only the frequency).  When operating from a
waterfall display, it may be easier to use the computer software to set
the split.  Refer to the help file for the software application.

If using MMTTY or other single frequency software for RTTY, then the
'rules' are different, and in that case, you should be using AFSK A and
yes, in that case, you want to put the K3 into split operation.

A much easier way to do it is hit A->B twice in succession, which copies
all of A settings to B. Then simply hold A->B to go into split mode and
tune the B VFO where you want it.

It never cease to amaze me how you learn something new about our radios everyday. I always used a sound card previously and always thought split was disabled in data a!
