[Elecraft] K3 Split in CW

[KD8NNU]

Dear Group,

Thanks for the input, the second tap took care of the problem.

I was never aware of the second tap to send parameters as I usually use 
split in SSB and never had a problem.

This reflector is fantastic for sharing information.

Merry Christmas to ALL!!!

There is:

1.  Put VFO A on the DX frequency.

2.  Tap A>B *twice* in succession.  First tap will put the VFO A
frequency in VFO B.  Second tap will put all the other VFO A parameters
[like mode] into VFO B.  The K3 won't go into SPLIT mode if the two
VFO's are in different modes.

3.  Hold SPLIT.  The little TX indicator on the right end of the display
will now point down to "B".

4.  Select your TX frequency with VFO B.

It takes way longer to describe it than to do it.  You can listen on
your transmit frequency by either holding REV [#2 on the keypad], or
tapping A/B.  Holding REV will swap A and B for as long as you hold it,
when you release it, you're back to RX on A and TX on B.  Tapping A/B
will reverse the VFO's, tapping A/B again will put them back in normal
split mode.

If you have a P3, both VFO cursors will show up.  VFO A is usually on
the left because we almost always split "UP."

Hope this helps
