Setting band breaks for SSB and CW on the K3

Mike & Becca Krzystyniak
   Sorry if this has been hashed out before.  

   Is there a way to setup or configure the K3 to toggle modes as you tune
say CW at the low end of the band, and automatically toggling to SSB at the
appointed sub band transition?

 

Thanks.   Mike K9MK

Mike,

No way that I know of, and because the sub-bands vary between countries
and license classes, it would take a lot of "figuring out" for the
Elecraft folks to implement something like that automatically.

You might think about using the M1 - M4 memory buttons to do something
similar.  These are per-band memories, so you have 4 for each band.

On each band, I have M1 set up to take me to near my commonly used CW
frequencies (remember that there are 2 VFOs in each memory, so you can
get to 2 favorite frequencies with the A/B button too).
M2 is set for my common SSB operating spots for each band.  M3 sets me
to my frequently used Data Mode frequencies.

You might want to consider setting VFO A to the lower band limit for
your license class and VFO B to the upper limit, or anything else that
'meets your fancy'.

For me, M4 is reserved to set "on the fly" to any frequency I might want
to return to quickly.

Set up the VFO, mode, split, filter, etc for both VFOs before storing.  
It takes a bit of effort to do all bands that way, but once set up, it
can stay in existence for a long time.

What Don said. However most any logging program will do what you want.
