I'll second that. For example, it would be great to be able to take all 
those option setting on my radio, put them on a USB stick, and load them 
on another radio at a multi-op station. Obviously, one would not want to 
change the calibration of that radio.

Yes. 

The K4 will have many more commands, all "direct." There will be no need for 
"indirect" commands, i.e. those that do switch/knob/display emulation, though 
we may keep a very small number of these for backwards compatibility with some 
computer applications.

The K4 also has more user-programmable controls in general, including PF1-4 
(vs. PF1-2) for direct menu assignment, and up to 14 Fn controls with more 
general application including switch-sequence recording.

Re: [Elecraft] K4: savable profiles?

2019-11-27 Thread stephen shearer 

Wayne, HAVE a great Thanksgiving...

I wasn't "knocking" the K4 (I have one on order)...

I would like to see my KX3/PX3 etc. utilities for my laptop (Linux Mint) 
easier to load.
But, I do need to sit down and figure out how to load them as it is more 
than a double-click.

I may not have been clear.
I am tired of W10...

I do like the idea of initialization files for different usage (contest, 
DX, casual), if different.
One click to re-set all the settings, although I always just set the KX3 
and operated...
Although, it would be nice to be able to save all the settings (mike, 
AF, Power, etc) for my FT8 stuff and a different set of settings for SSB...

"Although" pen-paper works, too.

One nice thing about the K4 is its essentially unlimited room for software 
program/data expansion. It will be able to save full operating profiles, mic 
settings, and whatever else users agree would be helpful in the future. This is 
one reason for the front-panel USB jack.

Re: [Elecraft] K4: savable profiles?

2019-11-27 Thread Nr4c 
This would be a nice feature, but, I would rather have the ability to save mic 
settings like which port, gain, compression, bias and free response settings. 
At least three or four (or more) mic profiles would be mice.

Re: [Elecraft] New to the List

2019-11-27 Thread Don Wilhelm 

Joe,

Your best learning tool will be the KX-Line book by Fred Cady.
You can order it from Elecraft - look under PRODUCTS -- BOOKS.
If you go through all the instructions and exercises in that book, you 
can be answering questions instead of asking them.


The Firmware and Utilities to download the firmware and do other useful 
things are no cost downloads from the Elecraft website.  You will need 
the KXUSB USB to serial adapter to connect to a computer USB port.

Re: [Elecraft] New to the List

2019-11-27 Thread Kevin McQuiggin 
Hi Joe:

Welcome from a fellow Canadian.  I’m VE7ZD.  You’ll find excellent support and 
a helpful community on this mailing list.  I too have a KX3/PX3 and KXPA100 so 
I’m working on a similar platform.  I was inactive for almost 20 years but 
became active again just a year ago.

What are you using for an antenna?  You can make great contacts with a simply 
antenna like a dipole.  All my HF work is dipole-based and I find the antenna 
successful for making the QSO a high percentage of the time.

73 and welcome to the list,

Kevin

In my reply to Wes' post about hearing 3B8M on 40 meter CW and I posted I 
worked them with my K2/10 at 5 Watts on 20 meters, some apparently thought I 
used FT8 to make the contact. That is not the case. I was using CW as I was a

Re: [Elecraft] NCC-2 noise canceller with K3s?

2019-11-27 Thread Ignacy 
I have NCC-2, 3 el-HiZ and a Wellbrook loop. NCC2 is not useful for weaker
antennas until one adds amplifiers and, for peace of mind, antenna guards.
Very expensive. I had it once miswired and it blew the inside - no fuse. 

The only time I use it now is for power line noise canceling.
