[Elecraft] KX3 150Hz tone

2015-01-01 Thread Gerald Wilson
Happy 2015 everyone!

Last year at Dayton I wanted to talk to a couple .mil comm guys. Lots of
them had radios in the 6m band (which my KX3 supported) but they have a
PL tone of 150Hz.

How hard would it be for Elecraft to put this into the next firmware
update? I think it would be awesome to get some KX3s on some green gear
nets in the future!

Take care all and hope you have a good new year!

Re: [Elecraft] KX3: RX audio Line out? Feature Request.

2014-09-25 Thread Gerald Wilson
This would be amazing and a huge help with digital modes.

One for the KX3 Firmware guru's I think.

Looking at the schematic, there might be a way to uncouple the
Headphone 
Right and Left levels, and set them indipendantly, while also leaving
the speaker 
amp enabled.

That would allow, when a cable is plugged into the Phones jack, the
Audio DAC 
Left to still run the speaker (level set by the front panel AF gain)
while Right 
is used as a fixed level Line output at some other (menu set?) level,
for 
external digimode decoders.

(However, I've not looked at the data sheet for the TLV320AIC3105 audio
codec 
chip used, yet to see if it could support that, I just suspect it
might.)

If it could.  Howabout that as a feature request?   We woudnt need to
faff about 
with 3.5mm jack splitters and an external powered speaker just to still
hear 
what's going on, while plugged into an external decoder.

Or is there an existing menu feature I've missed that would do that
already?

And yes, I am aware that many PC's allow you to listen to an input,
but not all 
OS's support that on all platforms.   Nor do many hardware based
digimode 
devices (TNC's and the like.)

If (a big IF) that was to be possible.  Storing such settings in a
memory along 
with frequency/mode etc would be fantastic!

(A Line IN would be nice, but I don't se any other already
connected ways to 
do that, though there are plenty of spare inputs to the audio codec
chip.)

[Elecraft] KX3 setting per band

2014-08-20 Thread Gerald Wilson
Hello all!

I was wondering if I am over looking something, or if it hasn't been
implemented yet.

Is it possible to set modes (AM, FM) per band? I only want to leave FM
on for 10m, 6m, and 2m when my board gets here Monday :) Likewise I only
want to leave AM on for 80m and 10m (wwv).

So far all I am seeing is that it is either on or off.

Any help would be great!

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] Case for KX3

2014-08-19 Thread Gerald Wilson
I use a Maxpedition 5 x 12 bottle holder for my KX3 and accessories. I
use a 4 x 10 pouch for a123 systems battery and power accessories.

 LowePro does have a very good bag finder guide on their website, and the 
 BestBuy in my area carries quite a few of their bags, if you don't have a 
 larger camera shop in your area. I have used many of their products for a 
 few decades and it's all holding up well. REI also has some of their bags, 
 as well as some photog type bags from MountainSmith.

 Seeing a few comments about them, I ordered a StrobeStuff bag from 
 ThinkTank, but returned it. I felt it is far bulkier than need be and 
 doesn't offer protection for much beyond light bumps or scrapes, and I found 
 it clumsy to get a KX3 into it, even w/o heatsink, SideKX's or Lexan cover, 
 because of the center opening zipper. Might have been easier with a Lexan 
 cover installed, preventing it from trying to hang up on the zipper. A snug 
 fitting Polarfleece type stuff bag or something like a thick sock would 
 offer about as much protection with minimal additional bulk, if one were 
 going to carry it packed away in a backpack, for example. For carrying just 
 the KX3 and a few accessories, on a bicycle, motorcycle or in the trunk of a 
 vehicle, something like the Pelican 1200 or a well padded photog type case 
 or pack is probably the best insurance. I've taken expensive camera  radio 
 gear off road on the back of a dual sport motorcycle in Pelican 1200, 1300  
 1400 cases with no co
 n
  ce
 rns about the welfare of the contents.

 Sorry, Jim, but there's no model number anywhere on or in the bag.  I've 
 owned this bag for many years, so it's likely been discontinued.  I used it 
 to transport an Icom 703 for a long time before I got the KX3.  I just 
 reconfigured the dividers as required. 


 My suggestion is to visit a large camera store (the kind of place where 
 professional photographers shop) and see what they have to offer.  That's 
 how I found my bag.  Maybe look at the web sites of some of the big 
 national camera stores, like B  H Photo  Video, Ritz Camera (where I buy 
 a lot of my photo gear), and so on.  Your bag is out there...
