Here is my solution to handling a wide split. The KX3 has an excellent Sub Receiver function, however it is difficult to use when the DX is weak and the locals are very strong, as is often the case here.
You may use the KX3 Macros and the KX3 Utility to your advantage with a PC and a mouse. Program Macro 1 with A>B (SWT24;)Program Macro 2 with your call as saved in a CW memory (SWT11;SWT20;) for CW memory 3. Program Macro 4 with your report 599 if needed, in another CW memory.Program Macro 5 with stop sending (RX;) useful if the DX starts transmitting before you finish your call. Place the KX3 in Split mode. Macro 1 lets you toggle between the DX call frequency and your call frequency. Leave the DX in VFO A and use Macro 1 to find a clear spot for calling (with VFO A which is now your call frequency)Remember to toggle Macro 1 again before calling. When calling your frequency must be in VFO B. This set-up will permit you to use a narrow filter for the DX frequency and a wide filter setting for the split frequency, which makes it easter to follow the activity. You can use any split needed. With the Macro setup 1-2-4-5 only a minimum motion of the mouse is needed to control the action. Switching is very fast, almost like two receivers.Do not use this procedure if you are very sleepy. Have fun with the pile-ups.73 OZ7BQ, Hans Jørgen ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
