[Trlog] TR, K3, and the wrong sideband

[Kenneth E. Harker]

     Operating at K5TR M/S this past weekend, I managed to get the Elecraft 
K3 into lower sideband on 20 meters on three occasions.  On all three 
occasions, the situation was similar:

* TR Log 6.79 (I think)
* Band map on, dupes suppressed, short messages ignored
* For whatever reason, the CQ/xxxx marker was not being added to the bandmap
  even though I was using ENTER to send CQs via the DVK.  So, to create my
  own marker I was periodically typing 00000000 into the call window, and 
  hitting space to dupe-check it.
* The switch from USB to LSB always occurred between the time I logged an
  S&P station and when I had used the bandmap to get back to my run frequency:
      - S&P station info in fields
      - Hit ENTER
      - Ctrl-End                              |
      - Arrow keys (multiple)                 | Switch occurs somewhere in
      - Hit ENTER                             | here, maybe when I hit ENTER
      - Call CQ by voice, as the program is 
        still in S&P mode
      - Hit ESC several time to get back to
        run mode

     Of course, nobody expects LSB, so it took several minutes for the 
poor ops below me to kindly tell me what I'd done the first time.  This all 
happened on Sunday afternoon, when we had 2500+ QSOs in the log.  

     Anyone else see this before with a Kenwood or Elecraft rig?
