Minor XIT/RIT display glitch with band change by RS232

Carl Clawson
This happens using N1MM logger V9.10.3 and K3 V3.6.3. I don't have any
serial snooper tools handy so I can't give the exact RS232 command sequence,
but it appears as if N1MM tries to turn off RIT/XIT on band change. To
reproduce:

Go to a band and turn RIT or XIT on. You'll see the annunciator on the LCD,
and one of the three LEDs by the knob will be lit. Now using the software
change to an adjacent band with ctrl-PgUp/PgDn and change back. The
annunciator will be off but the LED will still be lit. I think XIT/RIT is
actually off but I haven't checked to be sure. Whatever the software is
sending, this is not a correct response by the K3.

73 and thanks for listening

K3 #486, which pleased me _exceedingly_ during CQWW this past weekend!

Re: Minor XIT/RIT display glitch with band change byRS232

Joe Subich, W4TV-4

Snooping on N1MM Logger and the K3, N1MM Logger does not
issue any command to directly turn off RIT when changing
bands (Ctrl-PgUp/Ctrl-PgDn).  Using the Ctrl-pg commands
results in only one FA; or FB; command based on the last
used frequency on the next band.  

It appears as if the K3 is not heeding the SPLT SV setting
(for RIT ad XIT only) if the band changes in response to an
FA; or FB; command. I can  duplicate the behavior using a
terminal program equivalent to the Command Tester in the
K3 Utility.

Further, when the band changes one time, the RIT/XIT offset
is retained, a second band change will clear the offset.

73,

   ... Joe, W4TV
