[Elecraft] K3 VHf use

[Maarten]

Since one week I am a K3 owner with the KXV3A option. When hooking up the
XV50,144,222,432 transverters I noticed that the only option with the K3 and
the KXV3A is separate transmit and receive IF ports. Is there a setting in
the K3 to share a single IF port for TX and RX? It would save me some
cables.

 

Also is there a setting in the K3 that when one switches from SSB to CW the
frequency is automatically adjusted for the CW offset. This is really handy
for VHF/UHF work as there is often a mix of SSB and CW signals during band
openings. One often switches from SSB to CW for a weak CW DX signal. It is
very frustrating having to retune the weak station when switching modes. The
Icom 756 and Flexradio PowerSDR have this option. The K3 with the excellent
XV transverters should have this option available too.
