Re: K3 in SS SSB

Tried calling back.

BTW...if you want to do this, program your B>A FUNCTION in CONFIG to the PF1 key. Then
in the MM "TU" macro use {CAT1ASC K31;SWH45;} at the end. This will exectue the PF1
key and set the VFO B freq back to VFO A.

Macro to set up using VFO A as RIT for Split:

This macro should work (im not at my puter right now).

SWT13;SWT13;FT1;LK$1;RT0;XT0;

This should do A>B, A>B, enter split mode, lock VFO B, RIT off and XIT off

To reset so that both VFOs are the same just use the PF1 key you used for the MM macro.

To turn this process off use the same macro saved to annother key and replace LK$1 with
LK$0. This should equalize the VFOs and UNlock VFO B.

Wayne,

If that macro works it may be a good one to include in the next programming reference
update.

True. It's just like the Icom radios; you have to turn the Split on
and off from the program to keep things synchronized. This is a pain
in the patootie, but the reset in Split function sure is useful. I'm
grateful it works as well as it does -- it doesn't work at all with
my FT-1000D, which won't accept the reset command at the particular
time it's sent by the code. Maybe the developers (I think K3CT does
the radio control code) will get it fixed soon.

For the UNDO macro use FR0; to turn split off.
Name-Big Knob RIT On
SWT13;SWT13;FT1;LK$1;RT0;XT0;

Big Knob RIT off
SWT13;SWT13;FR0;LK$0;RT0;XT0;

Don't know why it's not working for you - works fine for me. I'm using
K3 firmware revision 2.63 and N1MM Logger V9.11.0. I do have LP-Bridge
in the middle. Perhaps that's actually helping it to work?? I'll try
without at some point.

When you put your K3 in split mode, does the word "Split" appear to
the right of the "Buck" button in the N1MM Logger entry window?

No. N1MM Logger 9.11.0

Strange ... seems to work consistently for me, whether through
LP-Bridge or directly to the K3.
