Hi Vic, 

As far as I know no work was done on that particular bug for this release.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 v1.57 / SVGA v1.31 BETA firmware available

[Paul Saffren N6HZ]

Jim, 

I'm not familiar with that macro design.  I do know that this version allows
intermixing of P3 and K3(s) commands within the same keyboard macro.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 v1.57 / SVGA v1.31 BETA firmware available

[Vic Rosenthal]

The bug that the p3 and svga freeze for a second or three apparently randomly 
still exists in the production firmware. It's particularly noticeable when 
operating QSK CW in a pileup. Does this version address that?

[Jim Miller]

So with this firmware will it be possible to do the DX on the LHS of the P3
screen and the pileup to the right and assign it to a P3 Fn key?

[Elecraft] FS: Buddipole antenna w/tripod, mast, rotating arm/vertical kit

[n1ko]

Hello all, 

I am putting up for sale my Buddipole portable HF antenna.

The accessories that I have match well with the "Buddipole deluxe" version
that the manufacturer now sells.  Included are a tripod and mast, buddipole
matching carry bag, clamp for vertical configuration (with counterpoise),
25-foot coax feeder with choke and rotating arm kit. 

Everything is in good working order.  One of the telescopic whips has a very
minor bend in it that has not affected performance.

I am looking to sell for $295, plus shipping.  (Or local pickup in the
Dallas, TX area.)  This includes the Buddipole, tripod, mast, feed line,
vertical configuration adapter with counterpoise and carrying case.  Paypal
is preferred.

If you are interested please feel free to email me at n...@arrl.net, or
reply here.  I would be happy to send you pictures of all the items
 
 
 
 .   

Best, 

Adam, N1KO

Re: [Elecraft] K3 transmit out of band question [ANSWERED]

[Bert Rollen]

Rats.  I was hoping for a broader answer.  

I have a custom 432 DEMI transverter with a *26* Mhz IF.  

Any ideas how well / if the K3 transverter output would work on 26 Mhz?  (I
have the KBPF3)

Thanks,

Bert - K4AR

Elecraft have confirmed

Great news.

Re: [Elecraft] and now something completely different.. the w2

[Chris Tate - N6WM]

Oh one more thing, this of course means that you cannot have both in the same 
antenna chain in this mode.. the big case for this being if you wanted an 
inboard low power sensor, and an outboard high power sensor.  This is not 
possible with the W2 and you would need 2 wattmeters. But it works for 2 
antenna SO2R.  Perhaps with a W3? ;-) ;-)

When you are using 1 meter with 2 antennas and have installed both sensors, 
hold down the sensor button and that puts the sensors into a polling mode.  It 
is reflected by a rapid flickering of both sensor lights.  Then the software 
and meter will reflect the RF to the sensor currently being transmitted.

The flickering lights are a bit.. err.  much.. but it all works FB.  Just down 
drive RF through both sensors at the same time or it will confuse the 
electronics and not display useful info.  I

[Elecraft] NEOGRIP

[Fred Jensen]

Thanks to all for the help, I did finally navigate the Elecraft site and 
find it.  Difficult site, or perhaps I've accumulated too many birthdays 
for this new spider web stuff.  I do remember when dirt was young.

[Elecraft] P3 v1.57 / SVGA v1.31 BETA firmware available

[Paul Saffren N6HZ]

BETA firmware packages for the P3 & SVGA are now available for download from
the Elecraft website.   These BETA versions contain new features as well as
several bug fixes.  With these versions we introduce the ability to embed P3
commands within SVGA keyboard macros.  Also new is the ability to map the
first 8 keyboard macros to any of the 8 FN keys located on the front panel
of the P3.  

Refer to the release notes below for more information

Please direct all issues/questions/etc to:  
alan at you know where dot com
pauls at you know where dot com


73, 

Paul n6hz


To load beta firmware on to your P3/SVGA: 
1) Create a temporary folder. 
2) Download the beta firmware from:
ftp://ftp.elecraft.com/P3/firmware/beta/P3_0157_SVGA_0131_BETA.zip
3) Extract the contents of the zip file into the temporary folder. 
4) With your P3 connected via serial cable, start P3 Utility and select the
Firmware Tab
5) Click on Browse and select the temporary folder that holds the extracted
files. 
6) Click on "Send all new firmware to P3"



Release notes:

MCU 01.57 / 2-2-2016
 
Version 01.57 requires SVGA firmware 01.31 to support all SVGA features.
 
* P3 commands in keyboard macros: Added support to allow P3 commands to be
embedded in SVGA keyboard macros.  When entering a keyboard macro using a
USB keyboard attached to the P3/SVGA, P3 commands can now be intermixed with
K3 commands by preceding the command with the ‘#’ character.  Example: set
up a macro to set the K3 to PSK31, frequency 14.070, P3 span of 100 kHz,
fixed tune enabled:  
FA0001407;MD6;DT3;#SPN001000;#FXT1;
 
* SVGA keyboard macros as function keys: The first 8 SVGA keyboard macros
can now be executed from the 8 front panel function keys.  First, using a
keyboard, program the macro and make sure to save it into one of the first 8
locations (mem 1 – 8).  Then on the P3, press the MENU button and using the
encoder, select the SVGA menu and press the encoder to enter. Then using the
encoder, choose “Macro 1” through “Macro 8”,  then press the function key
(short tap or long hold) to map the macro to the function key.
 
* Enable/disable TX sensing at the TxMon coupler: Added TxSensEn to TxMon
sub-menu.  This allows enabling/disabling of transmit sensing at the
coupler.  For K3 and K3S users, TxSensEn can be set to “disabled”, which
will use the serial connection from the K3 to determine the TX state.
Setting TxSensEn to “enabled” will use forward power sensed at the TxMon
coupler to determine TX state (useful for non-Elecraft radios).
 
* K3S attenuator support:  The P3 now properly scales the display when the
four-step attenuator in the K3S is enabled.
 
* SWR meter blanked:  Both the analog and digital SWR displays are now
blanked whenever the transmit power is too low to give a valid reading.
 
* Serial #DSM command:  The Display Mode (#DSM) command now controls the
Transmit Monitor's power/SWR meter display as well as enabling and disabling
the waterfall window.  #DSM0 = Spectrum display only, #DSM1 = Spectrum +
waterfall, #DSM2 = Spectrum + meters, #DSM3 = Spectrum + waterfall + meters.
 
* New #FON command:  The display font can now be selected via a serial
command.  #FON0 = 5 x 7 pixels, #FON1 = 7 x 11 pixels, #FON2 = 9 x 14
pixels.
 
* New #XCV command:  The transceiver type can now be selected via a serial
command.  #XCV00 = "K3", #XCV01 = User-defined, #XCV03 = 455 kHz IF, etc. 
The command uses  the same number order as in the "Xcvr Sel" menu item.
 
* Transceiver definition bug fix - Exiting:  When exiting the "Xcvr Def"
menu page, if the user-defined transceiver is already selected, it will
reflect the new values inmmediately, rather than having to re-select it.
 
* Transceiver definition bug fix - IF Invert:  The USER transceiver that is
defined in the "Xcvr Def" menu item may now specify "Not inverted" IF tuning
even if the "K3" control language is selected.
 
* SVGA resolution / main waterfall bug fix:  The main waterfall height had
been switching to the default value after changing SVGA resolution.
 
* VFO B cursor = VFO DATA A bug:  The VFO B cursor had been matching the VFO
A cursor in DATA A mode, even when VFO B was in a different mode.
 
 
 
P3SVGA 01.31 / 2-3-2016
 
* SVGA Keyboard
  Added support to allow P3 commands to be embedded in SVGA keyboard macros. 
  Added support so P3 can execute keyboard macros from front panel function
keys.
  Keyboard / USB thumbdrive can be used when not in data display mode.  

  Cleaned up the text message sending, and use of the IM character ‘|’ for
better
handling of short text messages.

I've successfully used eham classified for many years. As with any 
public site like this there are scams. Read the advice on the site and 
use common sense. I specify in my ads that I will sell only to a US 
licensed ham for shipment to his FCC address. That makes it awfully hard 
for scammers, and I don't have to deal with shipping out of the country 
to an address I can't document.

Elecraft have confirmed

"You would not need to use the KBPF3 for only 50 kHz out of band on 20M"

Great news.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 transmit out of band question

[David Anderson]

Thanks also to Ken K3IU who has tested his K3 with and without the general 
coverage bandpass filter enabled and found no difference in receive sensitivity 
between 14.350and 14.400. 

Question answered!

Re: [Elecraft] HRD question

[Dave B via Elecraft]

I believe it has been made to run under WINE.

I personally don't have details though.

Dave G0WBX

In any case, what your asking isn't a HRD question, but more a Windows 
OS question.


Best you look in Task Manager (with show process from all users 
selected) to see what the differences are between the two instances of 
the OS.   Do that BEFORE starting HRD, and after.


Assuming you are the same class of user on both systems, and both HRD's 
have EXACTLY the same configuration.

Has any one experienced a distinct slowdown of HRD initiating on Win 10?

I just put a Win 10 drive on my computer from about six weeks ago and it
initiates in about six seconds. On the current Win 10 drive, it takes
about 25 seconds. The only difference between the drives is that the
slower drive is current with updates. This makes me think there is
something wrong with an update.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Sure wish HRD worked on Linux!

Transmission only 50 kHz above the ham band should not be a problem.  If 
you see a dropoff in receive sensitivity, than add the KBPF3.
