[Elecraft] K3 a few new user questions

[Ray Spreadbury]

Hi

I have a few queries re operating my new K3/100  (# 6231). I am using it
with the P3 + Microham MK II for all modes - CW, SSB, RTTY & PSK31. It also
has the KAT3 ant tuner. I am in a monthly series of UK 80 metre contests
where each week you use a different mode but I have some problems:-

 

Qu. 1  For CW, whilst holding down the Band switch does indeed bring QSK
onto the LED screen, it does not in fact switch full break in on, & the rig
remains at semi break in. What else do I need to do to get full QSK?

 

Qu.2  On 80 metres SSB, I can only get USB displayed & even using the
Reverse switch does not bring in LSB. Could this be related to me also using
PSK on 80M too? There is no trouble with USB/LSB on other bands.

 

Qu.3  RTTY operates fine on 80 metres using the FSK-D mode, but what is the
best method for PSK? Is it the PSK-D mode or the DATA A mode, as so far, I'm
not having much success setting up either of them? 

 

Any help would be appreciated
