Dear All,

did some more on the problem. With MixW using modes RTTY or RTTYR when 
controlled by a K3 in data mode
the frequency scale moves to the right but the signal moves to the left. 
They should obviously be in step i.e the
display should show a signal at a constant frequency as the radio is 
tuned. This works
correctly in USB and LSB.  MixW thinks the radio mixer frequency is on 
the opposite side of the signal to reality.

To attempt to solve the problem I reloaded the K3 software; no change. I 
then went back to the-non beta 2.02 etc
software; everything now working correctly.  I am pretty sure that this 
is a real problem but maybe only for MixW
users using the RTTY modes. It is a problem for us though, because by 
using USB or LSB modes in MixW
automatically switches the K3 to the same modes. This prevents use of 
the K3 data mode features such as prevention
of compression and other data special settings.

Julian (G4ILO) thanks for your interest. All my CAT corrections are zero 
in MixW also. Interesting that you say there
was some change in the last release - "K3 was erroneously reporting the 
data modes as reversed" This looks very much
like the problem but in the case of RTTY it seems it was correct but is 
now incorrect.

Hope this all gets sorted in version 2.11  Keep up the good work on the 
software and I agree with the release of beta
software so that we can test all the nooks and crannies.
