RTTY and Alternating BW.25 and BW .50

KQ5S
While in RTTY (Data A) I have hte DUAL PB turned on.  I am seeing
where VFO B is an alternating BW .25 and BW .50 and then the VFO B
frequency.   As BW changes from .25 to .50 the  twin band width
indicators change accordingly.

Is this normal?

I should have said I am using FSK D.

Hi Tom,

My lower readout is stable, reporting the bandwidth as it was set and not modifying it then changing to VFO B frequency. I would suspect that your PC software program is asserting a command. Try it without your software running or with your RS232 disconnected.

It is not changing when going to VFO B.  I stay on VFO A and am
getting the alternating BW .25 and BW.50 where the VFO B readout is.

Re: RTTY and Alternating BW.25 and BW .50

Hi Tom,

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I didn't mean that I was changing to VFO B. I meant that the LOWER display showed the VFO A bandwidth and then the LOWER display reverted back to showing the VFO B frequency. I was just indicating that the VFO A bandwidth remained constant and did not flip flop from one bandwidth to another.

My money is still on software involvement. Did you experiment without your software running?

73,
Mike K2MK

KQ5S
Thanks Mike,  You were right on.  My K3 is new and I was doing a lot
of playing around with it and somehow managed to get things out of
whack.  I shut everything down and rebooted and all is well.
