[Elecraft] [K3] Split N/A in DATA A?

[Don Wilhelm]

Jim,

Since most soundcard data applications will allow the TX frequency and 
the RX frequency to be different on the waterfall, there is usually no 
need to put the K3 into split mode unless the offset is greater than the 
2.7 kHz bandpass.  Check your WJST software to see if it can lock the TX 
frequency while allowing the RX frequency to be changed via mouse-click.

Yes, the K3 can do split in DATA A mode, but you must double tap the A>B 
button to transfer the mode and other settings as well as the frequency 
( a single tap transfers only the frequency).  When operating from a 
waterfall display, it may be easier to use the computer software to set 
the split.  Refer to the help file for the software application.

If using MMTTY or other single frequency software for RTTY, then the 
'rules' are different, and in that case, you should be using AFSK A and 
yes, in that case, you want to put the K3 into split operation.
