I use the internal K3 message memories when operating as DX in an ssb contest. One of the biggest problem I face is the delay both in initiating the message (from an external application) and the delay between the end of the message and back in the receive mode. From experiments, both of these delays seem due to the time between the button presses on the K3's front panel. Granted, there may be some time between pushing the appropriate F key in the application (Wintest). But, this only addresses possibly the initiation delay.
Could some method/application be added to upload an externally generated audio file, which uses some standard format, into an arbitrarily assigned message? Or, at the very least, provide a means to change the K3 between receive & transmit without suffering the delays due to button presses? For the curious, when running at rates of 300+ QSOs per hour, the delays turn out to be significant. 73 charlie, k1xx/vp2mmf ______________________________________________________________ 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
