K3 and Split

[Chris Page-3]

Help please!

Does anyone know of a way to enable the K3 so that when you change
bands, it stays in split mode?

I only operate CW and like using the K3 in split mode, but find it
frustrating when I change to another band, the K3 goes back to normal
mode.

I have my K3 linked to my computer and the DX Cluster, and I have
also noticed that if I am on, say 7005kHz in split mode, and a 'spot'
appears on the Cluster on, say 7009kHz, if I click on the spot to
send the K3 to that frequerncy, then once again it drops out of split
mode and reverts to normal mode.  Is there any way round this, so the
K3 stays in split mode, please?

Thanks and 73 de Chris, G4BUE

That is a function of your logging program.  If the logging program
commands both VFO A and VFO B it will be correct.  The logger must
be turning off split as simply sending a set VFO A and set MODE
commands will not take the K3 out of split unless the new frequency
is on a different band (the K3 will not do split across bands).

____________

CONFIG > SPLT SV > YES

Save in memory per band.

Hi Chris,

You can set CONFIG:SPLT SV to YES, which will preserve the states of  
SPLIT, RIT, and XIT on a per-band basis.

You may also have a logging program issue as noted by Joe.
