Nate,

I have WSJT-X v1.7.0 installed so I looked at my transmit frequency 
with Split set to "Rig" on the settings/Radio tab.
I see the K3 transmit 1.2 KHz high which is correct since JT65 uses a 
1220 Hz tone modulated onto the carrier in USB mode.
I then tested with Split set to None and see the same frequency 
displayed when pressing TUNE on WSJT-X.  This just reinforces that Tx 
is on the same frequency as Rx unless you actually set VFO-B to a 
different freq.

I'm guessing you have LSB selected on the K3 to have transmit lower 
than carrier, which would also be normal running JT65.  But I wonder 
what the proper standard is for 160-80-40m for running JT65.  My 
understanding was you always run JT65 in USB.  This is a setting done 
using the DATA MD button (AFX PRESS-HOLD) where you select DATA-A in USB.

In either case your carrier freq is still equal to Rx frequency 
displayed by both WSJT-X and the radio VFO-A.

BTW I configure Mode: None and get the same function under JT65 so 
you do not need to select Data/Pkt when running the K3, as long as 
you run DATA-A on the K3.

I made my tests on 2m but should be the same on HF.

I have run JT65 on 2m-eme since 2005 using many versions of the sw 
over the years.

My K3 has FW 5.50 and I made my first JT65 QSO with WSJT-X 1.7 today.  I
have the configuration as recommended--Mode :Data/Pkt, Split Operation:
Rig.  I am also using CAT for the PTT Method.  I've made a couple of
calls with the radio in Split mode and VFO B is 1 kHz lower than VFO A.
I am definitely seeing power out.

As I'm not using VOX, could that be related?
