Dear OM or YL: Today I did a successful POTA activation using my K3. I
usually use a smaller, lower wattage rig, but decided recently to use the K3
portable. I've used the K3 for POTA activation three times before this week
-- but all on SSB. Today, I used FT8. I first was on 20M and everything
was quite normal. Then I switched to 30M, and I was hearing nothing and
friend who I was texting who lives fairly close to the park wasn't seeing my
CQs. I had the MODE set to DATA. The friend suggested I switch to USB
mode, and lo and below I started seeing signals on my screen and completed
several QSOs. I had used DATA mode on 20M and it worked FB. I also later
used DATA mode on 40M. Why didn't DATA mode work on 30M? Is there some
setting where I have to declare USB or LSB for each band separately for DATA
mode? All of this seems very strange to me. I used my K3 before for data
modes in the shack, and I don't recall this issue. Any suggestions would be
greatly appreciated. -- 73 de Carl N8VZ
