[Elecraft] Split-mode problem

[Randy Cook]

I have a weird one here.  Intermittently, when I put my K3 into split mode, with the VFO A in SSB, the VFO B will turn up in CW or FM mode.  In all cases I remember, VFO B was last in SSB mode, so the mode change happens when the Split is executed. Usually, I set the split within MacLoggerDX, my logging program. It is quite intermittent, so I have not used the front panel controls to set split.   

My K3 is only in CW when I am tuning a remote tuner, and only in FM on the rare occasion there is DX in the upper 10M band.   Both occasions would be using VFO A. I do NOT have a second RX installed.

I sent a console log the the logging software developer, and he was at a loss to explain the problem from an application perspective.  I assume it is in the K3 somewhere, maybe an config setting that I messed up by accident. I am not a heavy K3 user, so I may have overlooked something simple.  I would estimate the problem happens 20% of the time I go to Split mode.  

I have decreased the Comm port speed, to no avail.

Any ideas?
