KX3 WSJTX Split

I recieved this email from Japan ;

"I decode you FT8 on 1840kHz that I send the JPG file to you.
JAs are working split RX 1840kHz and TX 1908kHz.
Please CQ JA on 1840kHz and RX 1908kHz if possible.

The 160m frequency in Japan,
1810-1825kHz and 1907.5-1912.5kHz

DATE Sunrise (GMT) in JA3
Apr 07: 20:34Z

We hope to see you on 160m soon.
TKS 73
Mas JA3FYC"

I tried this, however on enable TX the VFO A and B become the same
frequency on TX from wsjtx.
I have cat ptt and cat control enabled, with rig split set.

If I use the mic to key etc, the split remains, however something about wstx
causes the VFO's to match on TX losing the split ?

Re: KX3 WSJTX Split

In the F2 Setup Menu for WSJT-X change the SPLIT Function to NONE.
Then set the Radio for SPLIT mode. That way you can manually adjust VFO
A for RX and then set VFO B for the TX frequency.    Just keep the audio
tone above 1200 Hz for TX.

   Resolves the problem

Re: KX3 WSJTX Split

Bob, I still seem to have the same issue with your suggestion, when first TX terminates the frequencies sync. See ;

Adrian:

The way and reason this works, if you have the WSJT-X Split Mode set to RADIO via F2 Setup menu, then the software commands the radio to go into the split mode. The split mode in this sense is to keep the audio transmitted tone above 1500 Hz and moves VFO B in order to do so. This is not the traditional thinking and operation where one uses split when working a DX pileup.

If you have the Split Mode set to NONE in the WSJT-X software, then there is no split command sent to the radio. Thus you can manually select SPLIT via the radio and this allows you to receive the frequency of choice on VFO A and then you can transmit on the frequency of choice on VFO B.

Sorry I didn't make this clear originally.

I also tried the 3 sec KHz lock procedure on both vfo's however that did not prevent the sync either.

The answer for this (Use OmniRig as wsjtx radio rig choice, and setup
OmniRig for KX3) came from Carl N4PY ;

"Carl, absolutely brilliant thankyou. This is the real answer I have been
looking for since discovering the issue,

and I have just tested split function here now all ok, retaining the B vfo
freq without cat change.

I never even realised that OmniRig was in the list until you mentioned it
here.

Thankyou very much for solving the issue.
