odd symbol

Recently I noticed a new symbol has appeared on the LCD of my K-3. It is a plus symbol + which is at the bottom right-hand side of the LCD. I don't recall seeing it there before now. Does anyone know what it means? And how I could remove it? It does not seem to have impacted the operation of the K-3 but since it is not something I have seen before I think I would rather see it disappear. I have looked through the owners manual but I can't seem to find any reference to it other than the page which shows all of the symbols that might appear on the LCD and it does appear to be in the lower right-hand corner. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find an explanation for it

>From Page 36 of the manual:

In FM mode, it indicates offset +/- (for repeater use) - manual page 29.

In SSB mode it, indicates ESSB is enabled - manual page 36.

Bruce
The + symbol in the bottom right indicates:
+ icon on in SSB modes indicates ESSB (pg. 36)
This is from the K3 Owners Manual Revision D10 . See page 36 for a
description of that mode.

Hi Bruce if you are using SSB this means that you are in Extended
single sideband, a wider bandwidth ssb mode.

To turn it off enter config and TX ESSB and tap 1 to toggle.

On CW, it means QRQ is enabled. Its availability is controlled via:
CONFIG: CW QRQ (On/OFF)

I asked this same question a month ago or so. My "+" turned out to be
"QRQ mode on." I turned it off, "+" disappeared.

Ah ha! Yes, I am in ESSB. I never noticed that the symbol appeared when I
turned it on and since that was quite a while ago I did not associate its
appearance with the ESSB mode. I thank you so much for the information. It
was beginning to bug me a little.

On the contrary, I am certainly glad you did. This illustrates once again
the wonderful cooperation and spirit of comradeship found on this forum. I
don't know of many other groups that are as carrying and responsive. I
thank you very much for the response.
