[Elecraft] K3 PSK-D Split Operation

[Ralph K1ZZI]

Bud,

I pursued this issue about a month ago and I called Elecraft.  They acknowledged PSK D will not operate split.  I was told to find a digital software program!  It could be fixed but they were not interested was the impression I got.  

For me I like to use RTTY and PSK D in "standalone" mode (without a digital program running) usually chasing DX in pileups.  I have a couple of messages in memory and it works FB for my needs.  My issue was that RTTY will split in standalone mode but PSK D will not.  Why?  Why not be consistent?  It seemed like a reasonable request to have Split operate the same for all K3 digital standalone modes.  I was wrong.  Fiddling around with RIT XIT works but it's not as convenient as Split.  When DX says listening up, you xmit UP to play the game.

When in Data Mode PSK-D (31 bps) I get SPL N/A when trying to operate split.
Both VFO's were on the same frequency but could not get VFO B to go up.

What do I need to do to go into split operation in this mode?

Today VK0TH was operating on 28,121 MHz and listening 400 Hz up. 
I just could not get into split mode.
