Bill,

The K3/K3S specifically disallows the DT, FR and FT commands while in
transmit. From the release notes for firmware version 5.56:
> * DT, FR, and FT HOST COMMANDS DISALLOWED IN TX MODE: Previously,

these commands could be sent to the K3 during transmit from some
software applications. This could cause side effects such as muting
of transmit audio in DATA modes.

Hi Bill,
I guess so, the setup is not with me, but at my friends to prepare for 24Ghz.
During rx he reads 10.368.020, which is 020kHz on 3cm band.
And during the rx period the doppler is changing the last figures, which should be the case for tx as well.

Hi Jan,
the first thing to check, and any K3 or K3S user can do this, is if the basic CAT capability needed works. A simple test using a regular FT8 setup for HF can be used. Ensure "Settings->General->Allow Tx frequency changes while transmitting" is checked and that "Settings->Radio->Split Operating->Rig" is checked. Then with the "Pwr" slider reduced to minimum click "Tune" to go to Tx and then Ctrl+click on the waterfall more than 500 Hz away from the current Tx offset (red goal post marker) while observing the rig. The Tx VFO (VFOB) should change. Click "Tune" again to revert to Rx mode.

Hi Bill,

Hi Bill 

Yes, of course.

Also set for rig to use split

But only rx freq is following, the tx frequency is stable as a house.

Hi Jan,

sri, I had to ask just in case.

Do you have the VFO in FINE mode?

Hi Bill 

We are trying to use the K3S its USB port communication for WSJT-x modes.

For 10Ghz and up it is essential that the K3S will allow changing its frequencies during TX to compensate for the fast moving doppler.

Is there any one her who has experience with this rig and this mode?

All works fine but no frequency change during tx.

Hi Jan,

do you have "Settings->General->Allow Tx frequency changes while transmitting" checked?
