K3 Sub Receiver Question

[Mike VE3YF]

Hi:

For some reason every time I engage the Sub Receiver it defaults to
CW. For example I have set it up on 80m to be in LSB via BSET and
saved it, and yet it will stay
in LSB for awhile, and at some point in time it just changes mode to
CW still on the same freq etc. The setting will be held even if I
turn the rig off and on, just after a
period of time it just reverts back to CW. On my other K3, I don't
have this problem. the other K3 holds the setting just fine. I
thought perhaps the memory battery is
going bad, but it is ok and all customized settings are holding.

Has anyone ever experienced this problem

Hi Mike,

Did you possibly click on a spot from your logging programing?

Have you conducted any tests without any PC programs talking to the K3?

Do you use the M1 through M4 buttons as quick band segment jump keys? Did you use the K3 Frequency memory editor program? Did you set up the sub RX as well as the main RX in the program?

73,

Hi Mike:

I think you hit the nail on the head with the segments. I have M1 -
M4 setup as segments with different modes and I don't recall if I
setup the sub receiver. I must have done it for the other rig
but not this one. See learn something new everyday. Tnx Mike for
bringing it to light.
