[Elecraft] [K3] PSK31 Problem

[Roy Morris]

When I transmit my buffer I am told that the first four characters of the 
first word in the string are not being transmitted.  The string on my K3 
display shows that all characters are scrolling correctly.  I went into the 
setup screen and changed the timeout from 0 to 3000 thinking that would cure 
this problem, but it appears not to have corrected it.  What would cause the 
first word to be shortened, and what might be the cure?

Also, when I go from one data mode to another the cursor can change several 
Khz up or down from the center frequency.  I am sometimes able to get it 
back to center if I change the mark and space pairs with the PITCH control. 
Once the cursor is centered I can go to other data modes and it  stays near 
the center line.  I am new to the data modes so I must not be doing 
something right.  Any help to enlighten me would be appreciated.  Roy Morris
