We were showing this on a P3 at the Visalia DX Convention last weekend. There are two "programmable functions" (sweeps) described on page 10 of the XG3 Owner's Manual. The XG3 Utility supports their setup.
You choose the start, end, and step size frequencies with a resolution of 1 Hz, the time interval between steps (1 to 64K msec), and a check box that indicates whether the sweep should be repeated. Once the sweep settings are sent to the XG3, you can disconnect the PC program and initiate the sweep by HOLDing the band up/down buttons (HOLD is PF1 and PF2). Tap any button to stop the sweep. Or you can leave the PC program connected and click the Sweep 1 or Sweep 2 buttons on the Operate page of the XG3 Utility. See "Edit Sweep Memories" on the Configuration tab of the XG3 Utility. You can install the XG3 Utility and peruse Help even if your XG3 hasn't yet arrived. I have a fair number of screen shot images of the various dialogs in Help. There's a link to install the XG3 Utility at the bottom of this web page: http://www.elecraft.com/XG3/xg3.htm 73 de Dick, K6KR -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of David Gilbert Sent: Wednesday, April 20, 2011 3:54 PM To: Elecraft Reflector Subject: [Elecraft] Another thought for the XG3 Utility If the XG3 Utility software had the ability to automatically step through a defined frequency range, K3/P3 owners could view a graphical response curve of whatever they were evaluating (antenna, filter, etc). 73, Dave AB7E ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
