[Elecraft] Bug or feature KX3 stuck in CMP ALC meter display mode -aha!

[David Anderson]

Found this...

* CW-IN-SSB TRANSMIT ADDED:  This feature allows you to send CW while in SSB mode, which can be useful when your SSB signal cannot be copied due to poor conditions. The other station will hear a tone at your CW pitch. To enable CW-in-SSB: Locate the CW WGHT menu entry, then tap ‘1’ (PRE) to alternate between “SSW +CW” (enabled) and “SSB –CW” (disabled). The default is disabled. Important Notes: (1) CW-in-SSB does not yet apply in SPLIT mode. (2) When CW-in-SSB is enabled, tapping the KEYER/MIC knob toggles between keyer speed and mic gain rather than between the two transmit metering scales (CMP/ALC and SWR/RF). The CMP/ALC scale is still shown temporarily whenever CMP or mic gain are adjusted.


So that is what was causing it. DATA mode allows you to toggle it to one or the other so when you go back to SSB.

Useful to know.

Tapping Keyer/Mic or CMP in SSB then makes no difference, you are stuck forever displaying SWR RF.
