KX3 -- possible bug?

[John Fritze]

While using HRD DM780 to try to copy some PSK, I found "BARS" in the
waterfall which made the copying of signals nearly impossible.  Thanks to a
couple of guys here and especially Don, I found that my KX3 while in DATA A
mode still had audio effects available.  When I manually turned them to
OFF, the "BARS" went away.  I did not check to see if compression went off
and the equalizers went flat yet though.  I am guessing those should go off
automatically when any of the DATA modes are selected.  I am using the last
regular release software (1.06 ?).

Hi John,

I noticed the same thing on my radio. I assigned the "AFX MD" menu item to my PF1 key so I can easily change between delay, pitch, and turn it off (and PF2 key is for dual watch).

Hopefully it will be fixed in an upcoming release, but I consider it a minor bug only.

73, Matt VK2ACL.
