What is REV next to VFO A LCD indicator?

Hey Guys,

It's one of those days....goes great until one cannot find something
even after scanning the K3 manual and Fred Cadey's book three times!
!@#$!@#$ Using control F to scan through the manual for scraps of REV
didn't find love.

Now I assume it means reverse.....but how did it get into the display
"REV" ???
I'm have been running RTTY with a code key..........nice feature that
works well..................then went looking for some RTTY on 17 meters
and found this "REV" artifact in upper right of the LCB......just on 17
meters.

How do I turn it off.............??? when/where?

Uncle Phil, W0XI

Hi Phil,
Check out the index Icon -> REV which will lead you to page 98 in the Reducing Interference Section (2nd edition).

Cheers,

Hit REV button #2

Hold the ALT button (the left side of the MODE button, 2nd down from the top
left). This swaps between USB/LSB, CW/CW REV, DATA/DATA REV, AM and
AM/Sync, and FM and FM+ / -

Hello Phil,
On the K3 LCD, "REV" is reverse sideband for both CW and Data mode. It is
selected by holding the "MODE" left down-arrow key (ALT) which will toggle
REV sideband on and off (or lower/upper sideband). The same control is used
to switch SSB to LSB, or USB. The REV function is a per-band mode setting.
To turn off your 17 meter REV Data mode icon just press and hold the "MODE"
left down-arrow (ALT).

Uncle Phil,

There are 2 different "REV"s and they are not related.

First, the REV button - it will swap the VFOs for as long as you hold
it. Handy when working SPLIT when you do not have the subRX installed -
hold it to listen to the pileup, release it to hear the DX station.

Second the the "REV" that appears on the right side of the display (near
the mode indicator).
That is the 'Reverse Sideband' and will be turned on or off by holding
the ALT button (on the MODE rocker switch). You will see it in CW and
DATA modes - other modes do different things when the ALT button is held.

73,
Don W3FPR

Re: What is REV next to VFO A LCD indicator?

Don, tnx on that times 2 definition of the REV button. Makes sense.

It only took ten hours building the K3 kit but I suspect that I'll be
learning more about the K3 throughout the spring! That makes the
purchase even cheaper - all that fun built in! When I ordered the K3 I
also ordered Fred Cady's K3 book, 2nd edition. I'm a math geek and
retired engineer, so saddled with the curse of nearly always having to
know (or derive) how stuff works.......I'm currently pondering the
secrets of the panadapter.

Oh, by the way, grandkids bought me a Jawbone UP24 for Christmas. In
fact, the whole family got one. We are now divided into teams and are
already competing on who can register the most steps/day on average. You
see, the Jawbone hangs on your wrist and counts your steps and activity.
It sends it's data to your iPHONE via blue tooth and you can review your
activity any time with the associated APP.

Where this comes in handy with ham radio is that the Jawbone vibrates
once if you sit for more than 30 minutes, just a reminder that you ought
to get up and stretch or move. Wonder what's next?
