[Elecraft] (K3) Mode change with band unpredictible

[Terry Schieler]

Brendan,

That might be the issue here.  The "Kenwood" selection in my logging software worked perfectly with my K2 and the FT1000MP.  Now there is a specific "Elecraft" radio interface selection and it might be a bit different than that for the K2.  

Thanks.  (Nice to hear you on the net!)

Terry, W0FM

Try this without having any software running and see if you have the
same issue ?  

(very?) old kenwood radios needed the mode to be set before the
frequency, this does not work so well on modern radios that remember
mode on a per band basis 

On Dxbase I fixed this in the K3 radio configuration file by ensuring
that the mode was sent AFTER the frequency rather than in the default
order of mode then frequency
