N1MM with K-3

On a recent post I discussed the need to use a memory to return to the
bottom of a CW band without changing the SUB frequency. While using
N1MM the best answer seems to be to use a zero in the entry window or
clicking on band bottom with the bandmap. However, this changes the CW
REV to CW (using LSB tuning). For me this requires a hold of the ALT to
return to what I think is normal (USB tuning). I've never understood
the desire to use LSB tuning, but I guess some folks like that method.
I'm trying to figure out how to NOT change the CW REV by this method, or
by changing the K-3 so normal CW mode is USB tuning like I think it
should be.

Any ideas?

I still hope for an option for a memory to only affect the MAIN receiver
and NOT THE SUB. I also wish for the amplifier key line to be disabled
when PTT is not activated. This remains a huge flaw with me and with
all my friends, especially those who use the lockout feature when
running M/S.

73, Jim

Re: N1MM with K-3

I have found in S&P that I like the pitch to start high and come down as I tune closer. It makes it easier to hear the signal "coming". Thus, the need to be on a different side depending on if I am tuning up or down.

In N1MM ... Configurer -> Other check user Reverse CW Radio 1.

Jim, in N1MM (this is an N1MM logger setting and has nothing to do with the
K3), on the entry window, click "config" tab, click "configure ports", then
in the configurer window, click "other" tab, put a check mark in box for
"Use Reverse CW Radio 1". N1MM sets CW or CW REV based on what is in this
check box whenever it issues a direct frequency command of any kind, like
direct entry in call window, or going to spots, etc.

Why is it we are so bent on assuming all issues require a change to the K3?
Is it because Wayne is responsive? Actually N1MM guys are remarkably
responsive considering they do the whole thing for ZERO pay.

73, Guy.

Joe, Guy,

Thanks for the answer. That's what I was looking for in N1MM, but
missed it.

Guy, there are things that some of us still feel would be an improvement
for the K-3:

1. No amp keying until PTT is activated
2. Have at least the _option_ to have memories only affect the MAIN, not
the SUB.

My original search _was_ to find the solution in N1MM. I just
overlooked it.

Thanks again,

Jim
