[Elecraft] CW with kx3 and Fldigi

[Michael Rudolph]

I want to type my CW using Fldigi.  In attempting it, I currently have the
kx3 mode set to USB and the Fldigi mode set to CW.  I am concerned about two
things:

 

1.       That if someone answers me by keying his transmitter in CW mode,
his frequency will be different than mine, and when I move the red bar in
Fldigi over his signal in order to decode him, my transmit frequency will
change as well.  I want some way that both parties to the QSO are on the
same frequency.

2.       I am concerned that if I transmit CW with the kx3 set to USB
instead of CW, I will only be transmitting part of the 10 Watts that my kx3
is set to.

 

Clearly, I need a novice's explanation of these modes of operation.
