[Elecraft] K3: using data modes with MixW

[Tom Whiteside]

I participate in Army MARS nets where MT-63 is used in tandem with voice nets.    I would like to be able to use the K3 Data mode to be able to automatically switch from microphone to line in and to automatically set the compression to 0.    That seems to work but I see MixW display a frequency offset when the mode is changed and the transmission is indeed offset from where it would be just using SSB.

The K3 considerately provides an option to combine the mic and line in inputs and doing that plus manually turning down the speech compression is a very reasonable work around but I am wondering if there is another trick in the K3 and or MixW that would allow the original plan of switching to data mode to work?
