[Elecraft] Macro for Speakers & Mic

[evetsmd]

I use an Icom SM-8 desktop and Yamaha CM500 headset with my K3. I'd like to
switch back and forth using some macro keys
- switch mics making sure only one mic is live at a time,
- shut speaker on/off
-  set bias as needed
- adjust tx equalizer for the CM500 and then be able to put it back as it
was for the SM-8

can I do all of this in a macro?  
I have no experience using macros on a K3..any help or advice will be
appreciated.

Thanks

Steve

[Elecraft] K3/SteppIR

[John's email]

I've had SteppIR antennas since 07. I have both a vertical and a beam. I run a 
K3 with KPA500 in the shack. I have no relays. When changing frequencies within 
a band the antennas are pretty fast. When changing bands, especially from say 
80 to 10  or 40 -15 it can take several seconds for the antenna to adjust. I've 
never run into a situation where I thought I had to transmit faster than the 
antenna can adjust. I simply wait until the tuning led on the antenna 
controller goes out and then I can transmit. I'm not sure what could possibly 
be so urgent that I might have to transmit before the antenna stops adjusting. 
No danger to the K3 or the KPA500 by showing a tiny bit of patience.

[Phil Hystad]

Yes, it can be done.  The very first macro I ever did for my K3 was
switching between the front panel mic and speaker to the rear panel
connected CM500.

Unfortunately, I am not at home right now so I can't just go up and
show you the commands but the key to these macros working is that
the settings are reflexive (i.e. switch back and forth).

Re: [Elecraft] Macro for Speakers & Mic

[Phil Hystad]

Follow up on the comment I made below...

Actually, I remember that I made two macros.  This is because I do CW a lot
and I wanted to switch my speaker and CM500 headphones separately from
switching the mics.  So, a macro for switching speaker/headphones.  And, a
macro for switching front and rear microphones.

[Elecraft] KX3 bricked by F/W upgrade attempt

[Randy Diddel]

Hello Elecrafters,

First of all let me say that I have RTFM, and RTFHF (read the freaking help
file) before posting this. I have read many digests both from here and on
the Elecraft KX3 Yahoo group.  Greg (K2UM) has the same issue and so does
one other person (call, name uncertain).  So, I am posting this here in
hopes it has happened to someone and they have a solution.

In an attempt to update to 2.25, the MCU load failed.  If just froze during
the process.  After waiting a reasonable amount of time (20 minutes) to
complete,I closed the Utility and tried to manually restart the KX3. No
luck.  I don't have batteries in my KX3 so I pulled the power and then
tried to bring up the radio. "MCU LD" still stuck on the display. Tried the
hold power buttons down for 10 seconds and all that outlined in the Help
topic in the KX3 Utility. No luck.  As a last resort, I figured I would
just EEINT and reload config file or re-calibrate.  The radio will not
EEINT.  I have left power off overnight and tried many steps to revive it
this morning.

I will mention that I had the PX3 in line but not on.  I now know to update
all firmware with the USB cable directly from computer to radio.

Unless Wayne, Eric, anyone else has any ideas, it looks like I may have to
send the rig home for repairs.

Thanks, 73.

Re: [Elecraft] K3/SteppIR

[Phil Anderson]

Hi John, 111614

I just received my K3 kit  on Monday and am nearly finished with the 
buildl; test is next.
I too have a SteppIR vertical and have been running it with my FT450D 
and YT450D LDG autotuner.

They work well in combination - and as you say quick.

I will soon be at the point of crossing over to attaching the K3 with 
internal 100 watt amp to the SteppIR.

Hence your note to the Elecract mailman list caught my eye.

I haven't read up yet on how automatic I can make that and how I might 
interact with the KAT3 internal tuner option

I added to the K3. Don't anticipate any problems.

Unc Phil, W0XI, Lawrence, KS.

As I stated. I have read the manua (RTFM)l and tried the EEINT proceedure
stated there. It will NOT respond to a Parameter INIT.  It still says "MCU
LD." I have tried all documented solutions to get it back right.  I realize
that I would have to recalibrate or load original config file after but I
cannot even get there

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 bricked by F/W upgrade attempt

[Rick Bates, WA6NHC]

This may sound stupid, but reboot the computer and try again.  It might not be 
the radio not understanding the data coming in the i/o port, but rather it may 
be the computer (driver) got hosed and isn't sending proper data streams.  Who 
among us hasn't had an OS go stupid?

Then keep it simple, attach to ONLY the radio directly (you did).  I also 
suggest that you do not have the computer attached to the radio during the 
(radio or computer) boot process because on occasion, the USB device reader 
(what is attaching?) may 'read' the device improperly and attach the incorrect 
driver.

If that doesn't work, then 'prove' that the interface cable is still good (test 
it).

With all the complexity of attaching various components (OS, firmware, 
hardware) together, it's a wonder any work at all.

You should be able to get it back to working without EEINT, once the firmware 
is reloaded.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 bricked by F/W upgrade attempt

[Matt Zilmer]

It doesn't sound stupid at all, Rick.  I just went through the same
exercise with a K3 I'm rebuilding.  On loading it the first time, the
load failed mid-step.  Trying to redo the firmware load, the utility
couldn't even find a K3 attached.  But it was because of the state of
the serial port driver (or hardware maybe), not some failure at the K3
or within the K3 Utility program.

In this case, I only had to exit the utility and cycle power on the
USB hub with the serial converter attached.  After doing that, the
utility found the K3 in its "waiting for firmware load" state.

This same scenario has played out with the KX3 as well.  Rebooting the
computer with nothing attached at the serial port would (should) work
just as well.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 bricked by F/W upgrade attempt

[Dick Dievendorff]

Please try the procedure described in KX3 Utility Help, Troubleshooting, MCU
Load failure.  The page is titled "MCU Boot Loader Troubleshooting". It
describes a procedure to recover from interrupted firmware loads.  One of
several steps suggested include rebooting the computer to start the USB
device driver from a known state.  There are other important steps as well.

EEINIT has to do with clearing the microcontrollers' EEPROM.  The
microcontroller we use stores firmware in one memory space (the "program
memory") and EEPROM is a different area entirely.  EEINIT does not influence
the program (firmware) store.   The "program memory" is changed by the
firmware load process.  EEPROM is changed by EEINIT and by normal operation
of the radio.  Loading firmware doesn't change EEPROM.  (But the new
firmware does immediately read that EEPROM on startup).

The front panel steps needed to perform EEINIT depend on program code in
installed firmware, so it's reasonable that you wouldn't be able to perform
that procedure without proper firmware installed.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 bricked by F/W upgrade attempt

[Bill Frantz]

I remember a problem I had a year or so ago where I was using 
the K3 (Mac) utility to load all the K3 microprocessors' 
firmware. I was failing on loading one of them and restarting it 
did not cure the problem. I got around the problem by loading 
just that specific piece of firmware. I vaguely remember seeing 
a bug fix for the utility that seemed to be my problem, but I 
could have misinterpreted the README. I haven't had the problem since.


Bottom line: Try loading just that piece of firmware. Then load 
the others separately if they aren't up to date.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 bricked by F/W upgrade attempt

[Don Wilhelm]

Randy,

MCU LD is a normal display by the KX3 when waiting for firmware to be 
loaded.
It may be that the KX3 is just sitting there waiting for the computer to 
feed it some data.


Because this all started during a firmware update that stopped midstream 
for some unknown reason, I would suggest you be suspicious of the 
computer, the adapter cable and anything else associated with the serial 
connection.  You may even want to try reloading the driver for the USB 
to serial adapter.


It would be a shame to send the KX3 back to Elecraft only to discover 
that there was a problem at the computer end.  If you have another 
computer (or can borrow one) try loading the USB cable adapter driver 
and KX3 Utility on that computer.  If you have an XG3 signal generator, 
try using the same cable and the XG3 Utility - the cable for the XG3 and 
the KX3 are the same.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 bricked by F/W upgrade attempt

[Randy Diddel]

OK, with the help of Rick Bates  and Greg Buhyolf I have solved it.

Background (more of it):  I use a PC hooked to the KX3 in the shack but I
am a Mac guy in the rest of my life.  I had been trouble shooting this
issue with that PC.  Since I have 3 USB brand new cables from Elecraft, I
decided to open one that had not been used and try updating with my trusty
Macbook Air.

Steps:

1. Download the FTDI USB drivers for the Mac.
2. Download KX3 Utility from Elecraft.
2b. Open Utility and make sure verbose logging, trace, and Advanced options
were selected-figuring that Elecraft will want this type of information.
3. Disconnect (already was) USB serial connection from KX3-leaving only
power to radio.
4. Press and hold power for 10 seconds as per help file about MCU LD.
5. Connect USB cable to Mac then to KX3
6. Open KX3 Utility try connecting to KX3-success.
7. Click on Firmware Tab and Copy New Files From Elecraft
8. Still on Firmware Tab, select MCU box and then click "Send Checked Items
to KX3"
Wait.I turned on trace and verbose logging in case I needed to send
error log to Elecraft so it took longer than a normal firmware update.
9. SUCESS Message stated complete (or something like that) and I look over
to see the KX3 on the frequency I left it on last night.

I can only speculate but perhaps the recent FTDI driver update via Windows
may have been the cause (more here:
http://www.adafruit.com/blog/2014/10/22/ftdi-drivers-brick-counterfeit-chips-with-latest-windows-update/
) NOT stating that the Elecraft chips supplied are counterfeit, but rather
something with that update made my PC to KX3 connection wonky.  The only
supporting evidence that I have is that I changed OS Platform to OS X which
would have completely different drivers and hardware handling.  To my
knowledge, FTDI update issues like those on the PC have not been reported
on OS X.  BTW, I am running OS X Yosemite.

Oh, and yes I could/should have switched to the Mac and used the cable
hooked to the PC first to rule out a bad cable. So I violated the first
rule of trouble shooting: only change one thing at a time. HI HI.

So all good now!

Thanks for the suggestions that got me to where I had a solution Greg and
Rick!

Hopefully, you have access to a different OS platform and can try it.  I
suspect I could reproduce this via some Linux variant if I tried.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 bricked by F/W upgrade attempt

[Randy Diddel]

Don,

You are correct.  I tried it on a Mac with a brand new cable (I have many
extras as I have bought a lot of Elecraft toys).  See my notes on the post
that just went to the reflector.  Good ideas and I got to a solution just
before reading this.  Thanks for the help.

On a side note, I wish I could use a Mac in the shack for everything
natively (not in a VM like Parallels or VMWare, etc).

[Elecraft] KX3 and KXPA100 loosing connection

[Irwin Darack]

My KX3 and KXPA100 lost connection when I was changing one of the DVR's in
the KX3. This also happened when I recently updated the Firmware and I had
to reset the settings in the KX3.

During the ARRL SS Contest, I went to change Memory 2 and found that the
KX3 lost the connection to the KXPA100. The KX3 changed the PA Mode setting
from on to off? I had to reset them.

My station set up is the PX3, KX3 and KXPA100. This never happened before
during a contest and I am wondering if it has something to do how the
passing of information through the PX3 first and then to the KX3, KXPA100?

I have no problems with passing frequency information and macro's to key
the KX3 memories in the contest.

Randy,

Re "On a side note, I wish I could use a Mac in 
the shack for everything natively (not in a VM 
like Parallels or VMWare, etc).", you can. Just 
use Bootcamp and install Windows as an alternate 
boot option. I do that with my MBAir and my MBPro. 
Both have solid-state drives, so re-boot is fast. 
I got tired of dealing with Parallels!

[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

[Kevin]

Hello,
   The first snow of the year was at least five weeks early.  It got to 
pipe freezing temperatures at least two nights this week. The oddest 
sight of the week was seeing frozen, very wrinkled green leaves.  
Normally things die off before it gets this cold but the transition from 
50 degree days to highs in the teens happened overnight.  However, it is 
sunny and will remain so for most of the week.


   Propagation is fantastic this week.  The sun has been active but 
non-interfering.  Few flares causing blackouts but a consistent flow of 
ions is keeping the ionosphere well fed.


Please join us this afternoon and evening.

14050 kHz at 2300z Sunday (3 PM PST Sunday)
 7045 kHz at 0200z Monday (6 PM PST Sunday)

73,
Kevin. KD5ONS

Re: [Elecraft] It's alive!

[Randy Diddel]

Hi Greg.  I think in Yahoo Digest 3503 you posed your question.  Be sure to
follow up there with your results. I am posting this to the Elecraft
Reflector. I am certain that the other person on the Yahoo reflector having
this issue will be happy to know what you/we did.-not to mention
Elecraft(but they probably already know).  It does seem to point to the
driver and not the cable on the Windows side!

If I was willing to be scientific, I would try to brick the KX3 again and
see if the first cable I used is in fact OK on the Mac but I think I will
just be happy with my solution.

I am going to stay away from 2.27 Beta for now and just enjoy the radio. HI
HI

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 bricked by F/W upgrade attempt

[Jack Brindle]

Hey Randy. Ready for a surprise?

The FTDI driver is actually built in to Yosemite. Mavericks, too. That
means you don’t need to download the driver from FTDI. Why is this important?
In Yosemite, drivers must be signed. The ones on the FTDI site are not.

I didn’t believe this when I first heard it, so I tried an FTDI USB device with 
a
fresh install (not upgrade) of Yosemite. It worked! The devices were recognized
and worked properly. As a developer, I was surprised since I had seen no
notification about this previously.

73, and glad you have things going.

[Elecraft] iMic Fldigi and Windows 7 problems

Re: [Elecraft] iMic Fldigi and Windows 7 problems

[Don Wilhelm]

Steve,

I don't think anyone can give you proper settings for your particular 
computer, you will have to find them on your own, tuned to your 
particular setup.


First, make sure the audio is getting into the iMic.  Plug the audio 
cable into something that you know produces audio, like an MP3 player or 
a portable radio.


Can you see something on the waterfall - yes, it will not look like data 
mod signals, but you should see some flickering of colors on the 
waterfall display.  Adjust your iMic input level until that happens.
One hint - Windows7 by default mutes the line input to any soundcard 
(and iMic is a soundcard), so you have to explicitly unmute it.


Once you know you can get audio into the iMic and have it cause some 
sort of waterfall display, plug the audio cable into the radio and 
adjust the AF Gain, or Line Out level to obtain something on the 
waterfall.  You might have to adjust the soundcard line in level as 
well.  You should see a bit of blue background noise color and signal 
levels rising to yellows or reds.


73,
Don W3FPR

[Elecraft] Repeat Fails when I hold down M1-M4

[David Cole]

Used to get a repeat of my audio I recorded when I held down M1, through
M4.  If I do it now, I see the word REPEAT, I hear one run of the
memory, and then nothing more...  Any ideas?  The little arrows feeding
each other disappears as well after one play.

Re: [Elecraft] Repeat Fails when I hold down M1-M4

[Matt Zilmer]

What do you have the repeat timing set to (MAIN:MSG RPT)?  I bet if
you look at that, you'll find the problem.  Best of luck.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 bricked by F/W upgrade attempt

[Bob N3MNT]

I had an earlier update crash (user error) and had similar MCU Load stuck.  I
checked everything on radio side then decided to check computer side. 
Somewhere in the process, it assigned a new internal PC port to the usb
adapter and would not reassign to the correct one.  I shut down computer and
rebooted and correct port came up and firmware install completed
successfully .
