[Elecraft] Macro for Speakers Mic
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.

[Elecraft] K3/SteppIR
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.

Re: [Elecraft] Macro for Speakers Mic
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). 73, phil, K7PEH On Nov 16, 2014, at 7:13 AM, evetsmd evet...@gmail.com wrote: I use an Icom SM-8 desktop and Yamaha CM500 headset with my K3.

Re: [Elecraft] Macro for Speakers Mic
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. peh On Nov 16, 2014, at 7:44 AM, Phil Hystad phys...@mac.com wrote: Yes, it can be done.

[Elecraft] KX3 bricked by F/W upgrade attempt
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
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.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 bricked by F/W upgrade attempt
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
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. 73, matt W6NIA On Sun, 16 Nov 2014 09:42:44 -0800, you wrote: This may sound stupid, but reboot the computer and try again.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 bricked by F/W upgrade attempt
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. 73 de Dick, K6KR -Original Message- From: Elecraft [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Randy Diddel Sent: Sunday, November 16, 2014 8:44 AM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] KX3 bricked by F/W upgrade attempt Hello Elecrafters, First of all let me say that I have RTFM, and RTFHF (read the freaking help file) before posting this.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 bricked by F/W upgrade attempt
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. 73 Bill AE6JV On 11/16/14 at 9:57 AM, mzil...@roadrunner.com (Matt Zilmer) wrote: It doesn't sound stupid at all, Rick.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 bricked by F/W upgrade attempt
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. 73, Don W3FPR On 11/16/2014 12:32 PM, Randy Diddel wrote: As I stated.

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

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.

[Elecraft] KX3 and KXPA100 loosing connection
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. -- Irwin KD3TB __ 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

[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement
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.

Re: [Elecraft] It's alive!
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 73! /randy On Sun, Nov 16, 2014 at 1:15 PM, Greg Buhyoff gbuhy...@gmail.com wrote: Randy, You are the man! It lives! OK, thought I would be careful and try something and maybe isolated the problem. I hope. I followed your instructions below. But, I've been down that same road before. That is I have done exactly everything you noted in the same sequence before as per my copious notes. So, just for grins, I did it all again BUT did not update the FTDI driver by downloading and installing it again. So, I did everything but that and no joy. Then I went to the FTDI site via the Elecraft firmware page link and downloaded the latest driver to my Mac Airbook (I sure love that computer as well my other Macs). Then I went through the whole process again and viola! That appears to be the problem. The driver. After success with the latest release firmware and reinstalling my saved configuration as well as testing the radio both RX and TX as well as other functions, I did the daring thing, downloaded Firmware 2.27 Beta, crossed my fingers and, once again, success. No burps, no hiccups or convulsions on the part of the KX3. Me maybe. The KX3, all good. I then said, OK .. let's shut it down, walk away, turn it on, test it, see if the Utility recognizes it .. all good. Now, I will let it stay on for several hours and hope I don't find it frozen. That is what happened before. I had been operating for a few hours and walked away for a few and the VFO would not change frequency nor would respond to any button press or otherwise. Then the fun began. It would not turn off unless I pulled the power cord. Then when I started it up after shutting it down, I had a blank display. So, if in a few hours all is good, then I may well be home free and you deserve the credit along with the other guys who helped out. In the meantime, you are my hero and can have my first born .. except he is 35, has a family and would likely not do well with only a small allowance or being assigned menial chores around the house ...

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

Re: [Elecraft] iMic Fldigi and Windows 7 problems
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 On 11/16/2014 4:17 PM, Millerhill wrote: Looks like I can TX but have no receive….no waterfall.
