No transmit on 12m in split??
Locked

Hi,
You’d think I’d know the radio by now....Today I wanted to answer a DX on 12m at 24960 up 5. Put the radio in split and went to transmit. No output. Tuned off split to test, no problem. Tried this on other bands, no problem. It’s just on 12m! Anybody know what’s up?

Can you try a split with NO offset (same frequency) into a dummy load
ok? Thinking accidental out of band... Don't be offended, it's the simple stuff that's easiest to miss.

What mode do you have set on VFO B (eg. SSB? CW?) Is it the same as VFO A?

Tried that on my radio. Got the message SPLIT N/A. Humm, must have
something wrong. Went back through the steps to set VFO B = VFO A. Tried it and it worked OK. Then set VFO B to 5 kHz higher and it worked. My conclusion on my part..........operator error. 73 Bob, K4TAX On 11/19/2015 10:48 AM, Tom wrote: > Hi, > You’d think I’d know the radio by now....Today I wanted to answer a DX on 12m at 24960 up 5.

Tom,
When you tap/hold the <SPLIT> button, watch the K3 display to see if you get the error message "SPL N/A" (Split Not Available ?). This message appears when VFOb is set for a different mode than VFOa. To recover I tap the <A->B> button (which forces VFOb to VFOa's frequency and mode) and then re-tap/hold <SPLIT>. Not sure if this is a Bug or a Feature. Would I ever want to be split cross-mode? I would prefer if the radio forced the modes equal and then performed the split operation rather than present me with an error message. -larry (K8UT) -----Original Message----- From: Tom Sent: Thursday, November 19, 2015 11:48 AM To: Elecraft Reflector Subject: [Elecraft] No transmit on 12m in split??

Larry,
The K3 will set the mode, frequency, etc. of VFO B the same as VFO A if you tap A->B twice. The K3 *can* transmit cross-mode if you set it up as indicated on page 36 of the manual. With cross-mode operation possible, it is not desirable to set all parameters of VFO B to the same as VFO A unless the operator intends to do exactly that. Thus the double tap is required. 73, Don W3FPR On 11/19/2015 2:41 PM, Larry Gauthier (K8UT) wrote: > Tom, > > When you tap/hold the <SPLIT> button, watch the K3 display to see if > you get the error message "SPL N/A" (Split Not Available ?).

With my K3, if I earlier had been split and the mode was different like RTTY or SSB and this current mode is CW, it won't transmit cross mode. Be sure both sides of the split are the same mode, the K3 (assuming that is what you have) remembers your last settings per band. 73, Gary KA1J > Hi, > You´d think I´d know the radio by now....Today I wanted to answer a DX on 12m at 24960 up 5.

Getting VFO B to the same mode as VFO A is easy enough if you are in the
habit of first tapping A>B, tap it twice. First tap transfers the frequency, the 2nd tap transfers the mode, filters, etc. 73, Don W3FPR On 12/17/2015 7:00 AM, Gary Smith wrote: > G'mornin' > > With my K3, if I earlier had been split > and the mode was different like RTTY or > SSB and this current mode is CW, it won't > transmit cross mode.
