[Elecraft] K3 KSYN3 Problems
When the sub receiver is activated on any band 20 - 10 Meters, I started getting ERR PL2 messages. I opened the radio up and checked all the cables and did not see anything obviously wrong. When I tried the synthesizer calibration, I get error messages ERR PL2 E00130 and ERR VC4 00039. I pulled the KSYN3 boards and swapped them and the problem followed it to the main receiver and the sub is fine. Is there anything that can be done short of ordering a new KSYN3 module?

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 RTTY Diddle
Alan has it right, my error - the ALT button swaps sidebands, REV swaps VFOs until the button is relaeased. Thanks for catching that Alan. 73, Don W3FPR On 10/11/2014 3:03 PM, Alan wrote: > I have not tried it, but the REV button should swap sidebands ALT button, right?

[Elecraft] [KX3] Macro - Split CW Operation With FW 2.23
FW 2.23 is operating great at my station! With the help of Bill (KV6Z), we came up with a set of macros that programs PF1 with Macro 1 and then Macro 2. It also sets the 8 kHz RX shift for those that have the ringing issues. Here are the macros: Macro 1: Macro Label: CWSPLT Macro Commands: MD3;SWT25;SWT25;FT1;SB1;UPB4;MN142;MP001;MN110;SWT27;SWH18;MN255; Macro 2: Macro Label: UNSPLT Macro Commands: SB0;FR0;MN142;MP000;MN110;SWT19;SWH18;MN255; Once you get it programmed in (Fred Cady's book helps a lot with programming macros), to use the macro, you just long press PF1 once to activate Macro 1; and then long press PF1 to activate Macro 2. The first long press sets mode to CW, copies VFO A to VFO B, selects VFO B for transmit, turns on dual watch, moves VFO B "up 1," opens up the RX SHFT menu, sets RX SHFT to 8.0, opens the Macro menu, selects Macro 2, holds PF1 to program Macro 2 to that memory button, then exits the menu. The second long press turns dual watch off, sets receive to VFO A, opens the RX SHFT menu, sets RX SHFT to "nor," opens the the Macro menu, selects Macro 1, holds PF1 to program Macro 1 to that memory button, exits the menu. One macro calls the next stepping through the two macros. I have not tried, but I do not see a reason you could not increase the steps. I have ringing on RTTY also so I may add that mode to the sequence stepping through the macros until I get back to "normal" operation. I could do this for PF2, but PF2 turns on and off my ATU until I get tuned antennas for 40 - 80 m. Your mileage may vary, but I have tested this on my KX3 this morning and it seems to work fine. 73, Joel - W4JBB __ 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
