K3 split on FM

[Randy Cook]

This afternoon, I saw T32C on 10M FM, 29.580..  They were running split (actually several split frequencies over the time I was listening).   The signal was a solid 59 for a while in Northern California.  I tried to set to  Split mode with the transmit frequency high, and got a "Split N/A" message.  Checked through the K3 manual about FM and Split and saw nothing that would help. Split works fine in USB on all bands.  I have not run FM before on the rig, so there may be something obvious that I overlooked. Yes, I do have the FM filter installed.

Any help appreciated.

Just a wild guess....

You might try setting the repeater offset so that the input matches their QSX
frequency.  I've never tried it but it might work.

Hi,

It works fine for me. Make sure both VFO's are in FM mode. Press the A>B *twice* to ensure this. I tried this, tuned B a few kHz away and it transmits fine in split.
