[Elecraft] {K3} Split when changing bands?

[Peter Chamalian]

This is funny because I just posted the same thing.  However, all I do is
change bands (using N1MM) and without doing anything else, go back to the
original band and the K3 is no longer in split mode.

I thought I understood the manual to say the K3 remembers the split mode and
frequency per band so I don't quite understand why clicking on a spot on say
20 then going back to the original band the split setup should change.

OK...I got this figured out.

I have SPLT SV set to "on" in the CONFIG/TECH MD menu.

As long as I change bands with the K3 and NOT by clicking on a spot in the
logging software, the K3 operates like it's supposed to....NOT turning off
split and remembering the split setting by band.

However, if I change bands by clicking on a spot in the logging software the
logging software turns off the split when it changes bands.  Thanks to Joe
W4TV for suggesting I check this.

I confirmed this with both Logger32 and N1MM.

I do not believe there is a way to defeat this with either logging program,
unfortunately.  At least for day-to-day operating with Logger32 that would
be nice to be able to select the split behavior.

Thanks for all the responses on and off the reflector.
