Question K3

Working split. A is receive on 18.30 and B transmit is 18.120. After a
short time, without touching the radio, it stays in split but B goes back to
the A frequency by itself. Done this all day??? Help!

Re: Question K3

You haven't told us what is attached to the radio (or not), and therefore
able to command the radio to do that. 73, Guy.

Re: Question K3

Sorry .. I'm using CommCat as a direct connect to click on DX spots to
change the K3 to that station and frequency etc.

It might be a good idea when asking a question like that to let everyone
know if you have anything else (hardware, software) interfaced to your rig.

Hi Phil,

I'm not familiar with CommCat but these type of problems always turn out to be the computer program you are running. You probably refreshed your spot from the PC and when you did, the spot didn't have any QSX information so the B VFO was refreshed to equal A. Find a spot where the user has indicated QSX 18.xxxx and I'll bet the A VFO will go the spot frequency and the B VFO will go to the QSX frequency. I'm just surprised that it didn't also drop you out of SPLIT.

Here's the rule of 3s for any K3 problem.
1. It's the computer
2. It's user error
3. It's a K3 software bug

73,
Mike K2MK
