Please note:
K3: REV(2) is splitted in two buttons: REV (hard coded) which reverses the VFOs (*) and
2 to enter a numeric entry . Generally other buttons do the same functions as those of the
K3's front panel,
VFO selection is definitely different on the K3/KX3 from the K2. VFO A is always a receive
VFO. If you're in SPLIT mode, VFO B is the transmit VFO. If the subreceiver is turned on, it
is controlled by VFO B, whether SPLIT is in effect or not.
KX3: Levels window appeareance is different but functions are very similar.
(*) It is, however, recommended using the Monitoring's XFC which implements a similar
function but much more convenient in practice: First, give Monitoring focus by clicking this
window or just the F6 key; then while you hold ESC on keyboard (or hold the mouse down
on Monitoring's XFC), K3 is switched to B-Set and you can tune with VFO B for quick search
of the current operating station (like if you own the second receiver).
Data modes
Mode selection
From the Monitoring window, you have a direct access to PSK and FSK while the Dat button
allows you to cycle between the other data modes of the K3.
Decoding data and sending modes
TRX-Manager provides support for sending/receiving FSK CW and PSK using the embedded
functions of the K3 from a small terminal included in the K3 window (not to be confused with
the standard CW Interface, no specific setting is required to use this little interface).
The TT button (10) of the K3 window allows you to toggle TRX-Manager and K3/KX3 in
TEXT/Terminal mode. You must enable the K3/KX3's Text Decode mode first (KX3/K3's TEXT
DEC function) ; if TT is checked (from TRX-Manager), all text decoded by the K3/KX3 is
forwarded via the RS232 port and displayed by TRX-Manager.
