[Elecraft] K3: How to set Split in PSK31 Data mode

[S Kosmetatos]

Hey guys,

I was glad to see Luis' question on this as I ran into this issue as well
using PSK over the weekend, and though HRD has a split mode, it wasn't as
intuitive or as handy as just being able to invoke a split mode using the
VFOs.

Is this working as designed for this particular data mode, or am I too
missing something in the configuration?

Thanks,

Kos, N4NIA

Hi all:

A local friend brought this to my attention.  

Seems he is trying to set Split on PSK31 using the radio built in PSK31
keyer/decoder and terminal via RS232.  When he tries to set Split, the radio
tells him "SPL N/A".

I tried this, and I can set Split to function normally in RTTY, both AFSK
and FSK, but I get the same indication when I try to set a Split using PSK
31.  Im not a digital mode person, but I do understand that you can do this
sort of thing using a computer decoder.  My friend prefers not to use a
computer, and really enjoys the internal PSK transmit/receive feature using
the CW paddkes.

He tells me the manual does not explain the issue.  He's right!

He does not have a second receiver.  I do, and can work around the issue
this way.  I can also work around the issue by using XIT, but it is
cumbersome.

Is this a firmware bug or is this normal?  What's the secret to setting
split in PSK31?

Thanks for the input!
