In all this time with K3 #24, I've never been stymied by any issue such as described below.
I'm a Navy-Marine Corps MARS member. We use RMS Express in the WL2K system on HF, running WL2K Winmor mode The software I have is version 1.1.3.0. I also use LP Bridge to create two COM ports: one used for DTR (PTT) and the other for control, COM19 and COM20 respectively. The sound card is an EMU 0202. The problem is this: When RMS Express takes control of the K3, calling an RMS node on HF *always* results in the receive frequency being 1.5 KHz too high. I've had to rotate the RIT between call-up transmissions to get the RX on frequency before the initial 5 attempts time out. The TX frequency seems dead-on, because the RMS always answers - but RX is 1.5 KHz high. And yes, I've tested with multiple RMS nodes, including my own NMCM RMS here at the shack. Same problem occurs with each, so it's a setup issue with software or the K3 here. RMS Express sends the following commands after it's set the COM20 comm parameters: FR0; # cancel split RT0; # RIT OFF XT0; # XIT OFF MD6; # TX DATA mode DT0; # DATA A sub-mode of TX DATA The sequence above is sent once at the beginning of an RMS Express call-up of the remote node. Only COM19's DTR is used to assert PTT for transmissions. Just for grins, I checked the various meta-modes the K3 is in. I discovered that even though AI is set to ZERO, I'm still getting IF annunciations back from the K3. Odd, that. K31; # K3 extended commands enabled K22; # K2 extended " " AI0; # AUTOINF OFF Since split and the incremental controls are off and ZEROed, I'm totally blind to what's going on. VFO A is on the correct frequency in each case (for each RMS Node), which means to me that RX and TX actual frequencies should be the same. Any ideas what's causing this? 73 and HNY, matt W6NIA, NNN0UET ______________________________________________________________ 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
