[Elecraft] Using the k3 for WSPR

[Richard Ferch]

Mike,

In SPLIT mode the K3's frequency display does not change between 
transmit and receive. The main receiver's frequency is always shown in 
the upper (larger) display, and in SPLIT mode the lower display always 
shows your transmit frequency. So if you want to know what frequency you 
are transmitting on, you have to first check whether you are in SPLIT 
mode or not before deciding which part of the display to look at.

If you were using RIT or XIT instead of SPLIT mode as your method of 
adjusting TX and RX frequencies separately, then the frequency shown in 
the upper display would change between transmit and receive.

I don't know which method your software uses, but it sounds as if it's 
putting the K3 into SPLIT mode.

on 30m the RX is 10.138700 and the TX is 10.140200. For those of you using
the K3 does your read out on the K3 change to the TX freq then the rig goes
into transmit? Mine is not and not sure if this is normal or if I have to
set something to show this.
