Regarding the Power On Banner

[Doug Joyce]

I decided to put the installed firmware versions in the banner and the decimal comes out as an underscore.  i.e  02.78 comes out as 02_78.   What non alpha numeric characters are supported / permitted?

 

Thanks

 

Doug,  VE3MV

I just noticed that my K3 (ver 2.76) changes receive frequency when the RIT/XIT encoder is turned regardless of whether or not RIT is turned on.   No LEDs are lit when this occurs.  When RIT is pressed to turn on RIT all is as I expect but when turned RIT off I still get frequency change when turning the RIT encoder.

 

Is this normal?

Yes, check your config VFO OFS setting.  From the user's manual:

"If ON, the RIT/XIT offset control can be used to tune VFO A in large steps when
both RIT and XIT are turned off. The step sizes vary with mode (see VFO CRS),
and are the same as the COARSE VFO tuning rates."
