Rob,

I'm not saying that some logging programs and K3 control programs are not in need of some changes but your problem could have at least been avoided/circumvented by something that I reported to K3 support some time back.  CONFIG parameter CW WGHT was enhanced to provide a SSB+CW function which allows CW keying in SSB mode.  Works great when not in SPLIT but does not work while in SPLIT.  The response from support was that this was on the 'fix' list but again that was quite a while ago.  If this would have resolved your problem perhaps another note to support would help.

I noticed this evening that after working a station on 18 meter SSB, I saw a spot on the DX packet reflector for XW1B on 20 meter CW. Curious if I could hear him, I double clicked on the spot and DX4WIN sent the rig to his frequency, which was stated to be 14,005.00 QSX 14,006.20 perfectly, or so I thought....When XW1B finished the present QSO, he said QRZ NA UP. He was S9 at my QTH and I thought I would see if I could work him. Imagine my surprise when my keying was doing nothing! Upon a bit of further observation, I found that the QSY frequency on VFO B was in the SSB mode. To correct this I pressed the A=B button and then the A/B button and dialed the QSX frequency back to VFO B, where the mode was now stated to be CW. I used A/B once more to return to listening to the A VFO just as I heard "NA UP" sent my callsign once and worked him on the first call. Is it something that I am doing wrong or is this a bug in the PC control of the K3 ?  I am using a conventional serial po
 rt and DX4WIN software. I've only had the rig a couple of weeks and this is the first problem I have encountered. Anyone else experience this or have a solution?
Thanks for your time and vy 73, Rog-K9RB
