More info on the SPLIT problem

[Jim Sheldon]

I've also found that if you are IN split with the data display active, you can't exit split (even though the K3's "SPLIT" indicator goes away, it's still using the VFO B frequency for transmit.

So, if you want to use SPLIT and the P3/SVGA data display, disable the display before turning SPLIT on and again before turning SPLIT off.  If you don't do this, split appears to not work properly..

I have no way of determining if the glitch is in the BETA FW or something in the K3's FW that isn't reading commands from the P3/SVGA

Hi Jim,

I can confirm that there is something weird happening with the red cursor (split transmit freq) on the P3 and on the external monitor when the SVGA Data mode is activated. Looking at the K3, the little arrow is still pointing to VFO B and the amber delta f LED is lit. Unfortunately I don't have the means to determine if I am actually transmitting on VFO A freq or VFO B freq. I'd like to think that it is just a P3 glitch but extra care should certainly be taken until this problem is totally understood.
