[Elecraft] K3: PSK31 will not allow Split operation.

[Bob Myers]

PSK31 SPLIT:

Folks,

It seems the solution is there is no solution. PSK31 SPLIT appears unsupported in the K3 and the KX3. The argument seems to be PSK31 is never used in SPLIT operation. But W1AW/* uses Split for pileups. And many DXpeditions have used it (T32C for instance). While I rarely use any digital mode other than CW, I thought it was nifty to have RTTY and PSK31 as part of the K3. Turns out it is near nifty. :)

Ah, but maybe SPLIT for PSK31 is on on the list of things to come later… or have I missed something?
