[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report
Good Evening, Twenty meters was less noisy than forty. QSB was deeper on the latter too. Surprisingly everyone on 20 meters reported mild temperatures while on forty meters only two ops reported cooler temperatures. One was hiding from tourists on a hillside near the Pacific. The other was enjoying a respite from the heat and rain of the Plains. I get moisture each morning when the dense fog comes in from the ocean and hits the trees. They condense and precipitate it on the house. Each tree can mine its own water for the day. On 14050.5 kHz at 2200z: NO8V - John - Mi W0CZ - Ken - ND K6XK - Roy - IA K0DTJ - Brian - CA On 7047.5 kHz at z: WM5F - Dwight - ID K0DTJ - Brian - CA W0CZ - Ken - ND K6PJV - Dale - CA The sun may send us more ions this week but I do know the thunderstorms will keep producing noise. That's just the nature of summer. Blackberries are about two weeks out, maybe I'll get to see the bear again. 73, Kevin.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 center frequency
I have an additional problem, which is that sometimes this happens when I use the band up and band down buttons on the rig. I have not been able to understand why it only happens sometimes and not always. I have a macro set up in the Commander module of the DXLabs program that I use for logging, which checks what band I'm on and then resets the limits and center as I want them, but it's still annoying. Incidentally, for those who might be confused by the whole issue, it applies to using the P3 in FIXED, not tracking, mode. 73, Victor, 4X6GP Rehovot, Israel Formerly K2VCO CWops no. 5 http://www.qsl.net/k2vco/ On 22/07/2019 3:04, Fred Jensen wrote: Not sure who I'm talking to here, no signature, no call.

Re: [Elecraft] Feature Request: Shifting VFO
KPOD macros could stitch together 50 kHz with of UPn;UPn; or DNn or use direct frequency entry with FA for the bottom of the phone and CW band segments for a few bands. What I do in contests is type a frequency into the callsign input area of N1MM; the hands stay on the keyboard. I also sometimes slowly tune the radio with up and down keyboard keys when I’m using a computer. When in an assisted contest, you can jump to the next spot you haven’t worked in the bandmap with a single keystroke. I don’t always use a computer for operating, but when I care about the time it takes is usually in a contest when I’m using a computer logger. 73 de Dick, K6KR > On Jul 21, 2019, at 17:27, Walter Underwood wrote: > > There is a similar computer feature called “mouse acceleration”.

Re: [Elecraft] Feature Request: Shifting VFO
Inrad had a mod about 20 years ago for the FT-1000/D which they called a "Tuning Upgrader" that provided a slower tuning rate than stock when you turned the main knob slower, restored the stock tuning rate when you turned the knob faster, and a higher tuning rate (25 KHz) when you spun the knob even faster. It was a great modification which the FT-1000 needed, but unfortunately is no longer offered. No enhancements are needed to the K3's tuning rate(s), in my opinion. 73, Kent K9ZTV On 7/21/2019 11:50 AM, Fred Jensen wrote: I had an Yaesu satellite-capable HF/VHF/UHF radio for quite awhile [FT-847??] that had a spring-loaded ring around the main tuning knob that would QSY faster the more you turned it.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S HDSDR as a panadapter with IF out
I suspect that you could do as you suggest, but it is almost mindlessly simple to use an SDRPlay driving Win4K3 Suite. You have mouse control and other features. 73, Barry K3NDM -- Original Message -- From: "Conrad PA5Y" To: "elecraft@mailman.qth.net" Sent: 7/21/2019 5:36:06 PM Subject: [Elecraft] K3S HDSDR as a panadapter with IF out I have a Perseus and I wonder if anybody is using a similar set up as a panadapter, the P3 has no mouse control and does not appeal to me having got used to HDSDR and Omnirig in the past.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 center frequency
It's been brought up several times in the last two or three years. No response from the P3 software guys. It's EXTREMELY annoying that the P3 won't respect the center frequency setting if the radio is tuned via any CAT command. I've given up on hoping it will ever be fixed. My guess is that it's all hands and the cooks working on K4 software these days. 73... Randy, W8FN On 7/21/2019 12:45 PM, Fred Jensen wrote: Jim: In general, yes, if you change bands with BAND ^/v.

[Elecraft] K3 no RF Output
Dear Readers, i made a water damage of my K3. Meanwhile Receiver is working again, after some repairs. But there is still no RF output. Main symptom is, that in case of TX (key down in CW) i find at J7 (8.215 MHz TXIF1) a 8.230MHz signal, but no signal passing the filter, expected approxymatetly 8.215Mhz too. Any suggestions?

Re: [Elecraft] Feature Request: Shifting VFO
I had an Yaesu satellite-capable HF/VHF/UHF radio for quite awhile [FT-847??] that had a spring-loaded ring around the main tuning knob that would QSY faster the more you turned it. Yaesu called it the "Jog Ring" or something like that. Despite how good the concept sounds, I found it worse than useless ... it really [really] got in the way of using the radio. 73, Fred ["Skip"] K6DGW Sparks NV DM09dn Washoe County On 7/21/2019 8:47 AM, Kevin, N4TT wrote: Or, I could propose a method of changing VFO resolution based on turn rate.

Re: [Elecraft] Feature Request: Shifting VFO
Kev, Since you use the K-Pod, why don't you set CONFIG:VFO OFS to ON, and then set CONFIG:VFO CRS for whatever Coarse setting you want (that is a per mode setting). Then on the K-Pod, when you want a fast QSY, just flip the bottom switch to the RIT position and move the knob with the coarse steps - it can work as long as you do not have RIT or XIT turned on. Switch the rocker back to VFO A (or B) to finish the fine tuning. 73, Don W3FPR On 7/21/2019 11:47 AM, Kevin, N4TT wrote: A scenario from yesterday's contest.

Re: [Elecraft] Feature Request: Shifting VFO
A scenario from yesterday's contest. I have the P3 set up to view about 3 or more KHz of spectrum. I use a K-pod to run my way up from low to high.

Or, I could propose a method of changing VFO resolution based on turn rate. I like proposing things. One out of 100 gets a "hey, not a bad idea" comment. :) Options to change rates or even disable rate changes sounds fine to me. There are features of the radio I don't use or turn off and they don't affect me while operating. Others find those features useful so I'm all for them being included. Clicking on spots is a possibility but not often permitted (or changes class) in contests. I should be clear, the value of this feature for me is in contesting where I'd prefer to keep my two hands in place rather than flittering around different controls. "MENU:VFO CTS will select 100/200/400 steps per revolution of the encoder." Simply (tongue in cheek) add the option 100/200/400/variable. Maybe the variable shifts between 100, 200, 400 based on VFO speed. At any rate, the request stands. I would like to see a variable tuning rate in the K3s, KX3 and K4HD which I plan to purchase after it is available or test one out if Elecraft wants to send me one to play with. Thanks for considering. 73, Kev N4TT On Sun, Jul 21, 2019 at 10:52 AM Ignacy wrote: > Is it a feature of ICOMs? > Neat as QSY to a far away frequency can be done without pressing any extra > button. > On the other hand, band-segment memories and clicking on spots makes > long-range QSYing less important. > Ignacy, NO9E > > > > -- > Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ > __ > 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 kkinde...@gmail.com > __ 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
Re: [Elecraft] Feature Request: Shifting VFO
Is it a feature of ICOMs? Neat as QSY to a far away frequency can be done without pressing any extra button. On the other hand, band-segment memories and clicking on spots makes long-range QSYing less important.
