Transmit on VFO B

Hi,
I know it was discussed before, but i haven't found a final statement in
the archives of the List.
My last info is it is impossible to Transmit on VFO B during Output
Filter Switching and QSK.

I'm not sure if somebody ask to switch off QSK in this split mode.
Are there any plans to have such a feature in the future? (I really like
this on my TS-850 in combination with N1MM)

Thanks Olli, DH2WQ

Re: Transmit on VFO B

Me again,
i forget, Tx on VFO B if VFO B is on different Band.

Re: Transmit on VFO B

Olli,

Sorry for the 2 day old response, but I did not see any other answers to
your question.
The transmit stages are associated with the main receiver - they cannot
be associated with the sub-RX.

If you have VFO A on a different band than VFO B, without the sub-RX you
cannot listen on the VFO B frequency, so I conclude that you have the
sub-RX because transmitting without listening is poor practice that no
decent ham would do IMHO.

It is a simple matter to transmit on the band that VFO B is set to -
simply tap A/B to swap the VFOs and you are ready to transmit on the
frequency/band that was previously set in VFO B - only now it is in VFO A.

This method may be different than you had with your TS-850 and N1MM, but
the capability is there - just tap A/B (or have N1MM do it).

73,
Don W3FPR

In N1MM Logger: Alt-F10 (exchange VFOs).

Re: Transmit on VFO B

Thanks for the replies,

"Alt + F10" is new for me.
I thought there is some trouble because i just used the "Ctrl + Left or
Right" combination.

This will be posted in the N1MM mailing list due to it is no K3 Problem,
but i will describe the still existing Problem also here.

If i jump through my Bandmap of the Subreceiver with "Ctrl + Up or Down"
Sub Rx is tuning to desired QRG so i can still run CQ and listen to main
and sub Rx.
Due to the fact of K3 can't handle the Split, I'm still transmitting on
VFO A. This behavior is okay for me, but N1MM will log the QSO on VFO B.

If only RX Focus will switch would be great. The QSO i can do with "Alt
+ F10".

I will look for some answers on the N1MM List.

Thanks fer info

73 de Olli, DH2WQ
