SSB+CW better understood, but answer is a bummer

[Bill Davis Jr]

Thanks guys .... I'm sure NOT Being in VOX is the problem ...... RATS ... I use a
sequencer to activate the K3 PTT and DO NOT use VOX. It is a feature
that I was counting on to simplify things too. Almost all of my K3
applications are VHF/UHF and microwave where CW on USB is STANDARD, CW
reverse is close but I still have to retune when I change from
USB to CW. I didn't want to be forced to retune the frequency.



Thanks again for all assistance



73 and good DX

Howdy Bill,

My setup and usage is the same as yours.  I wrote a little macro (one button push)
that will put the K3 into split mode operation and move the CW REV frequency up a kHz
so the SSB station can copy your CW.  If you are interested, I can send it to you
again. GL and VY 73, Lance

There is a configuration option that eliminates the need to retune. From
the notes for firmware version 3.19:

"AUTOMATIC CW VFO OFFSET ON MODE CHANGE: Allows switching quickly
between SSB and CW mode without either you or the other station having
to re-tune the VFO (often done on 6 meters and transverter bands).
First, locate CONFIG:CW WGHT and tap '5' on the keypad until you see
"VFO OFS". From then on, when switching to CW mode from any other mode,
the VFO will be offset by an amount equal to your sidetone pitch (as set
using the PITCH switch in CW mode). If the sideband most recently used
on this band is USB, the VFO will be shifted UP; if it was LSB, the VFO
will be shifted DOWN.

Note: If you make frequent use of this feature, you may want to use CW
reverse on bands where you use USB, and CW normal on bands where you use
LSB. This results in perfect pitch matching when listening to a CW
signal and switching from SSB to CW."

73,
Rich VE3KI
