[Elecraft] K3 - FT8

[ANDY DURBIN]

"What is really confusing is that WSJT-X leaves the tune frequency at whatever it was when you last transmitted, so if you tune around, click on some signals, have a listen and then try using TUNE the audio frequency could be anywhere unless you take specific action."


Nothing to get confused about. The tune audio frequency is always the frequency marked by the TX cursor on WideGraph and indicated in the TX frequency box of Main. Much earlier versions of WSJT-X had a bug which caused the tune frequency to be random but, to the best of my knowledge, that was fixed long before FT8 mode was introduced.


If you don't want the TX frequency to change, simply click "Hold Tx Freq".


I can't comment on the K3 reaction to FT8 tune frequency. My TS-590S has no such issue.
