Specifications

Keyer interface TEXT to Terminal (TT) mode
You may use this little terminal for sending text either in CW PSK or FSK! Just type your
message and click Enter (or use character/word mode) but please don't forget to turn ON
VOX since TRX-manager does not do that for you!
Buttons
Engages the character mode : the transmission starts immediately after you start typing
your message. The Enter key generates the +K string .
Space bar = CR (Word mode) : message is transmitted word by word (each time you
press the space bar). This mode is convenient for FSK and PSK (since character mode is not
usable in these modes).
Clears the text boxes
Pastes the current callsign (highlighted string in the upper text zone) to the logbook and
creates a new entry but does not save the QSO. Double-clicking the Callsign has the same
effect and is faster.
Stops the transmission
1-16: Type a message in the lower text box, then click Save and the message number (
CW Macros are supported). Press 1-16 to recall a message.
Limitations
In TEXT Mode, CAT control may be partially disabled (depending on MCU version)
The message length is limited to about 100 characters at 20 wpm in CW (depends on
speed and mode); above this limit, the K3 may truncate the message, abort transmission
or behaves abnormally
The TEXT mode is not compatible with LP-Bridge (LPBridge option checked or not)
Full editing is not supported by the lower text zone (only BackSpace is supported)
To STOP the transmission you may also press your CW paddle.
Filters
TRX-Manager implements two virtual DSP filters (Normal and Narrow ) for each SSB/CW
mode + a Wide filter for AM. Since TRX-Manager uses the DSP, you must check DSP under
the Preferences/Transceivertab and fill in the default values for each filter. See also Modes
and Filters.
Monitoring's Wid and Nar buttons are related to the TRX-Manager's virtual DSP filters (not to
the K3's X Filters).
