[Elecraft] K3s USB sound card not receiving MMTTY audio
Great that you have this resolved but unfortunate that it occurred after the ARRL RTTY Roundup. I use FSK for RTTY transmission which so far has been very simple and stable.

I'm sure I had it set up this way in the past, and I have no idea why it wasn't set correctly yesterday at the start of RTTY RU. Anyway, now I know what to check if it happens again. 73, Mike N4CF __ 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

I believe the MIC=LINE IN is automatically set when I select DATA MD = AFSK-A, so it's a puzzle to me why this wasn't the case on Saturday when I set up for RU. At least I know to check it next time I use RTTY. 73, Mike N4CF __ 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] New K4 beta software available (Release 28)
Release 28 is now available as beta, with several new features (including the DVR) and major improvements. Upgrading is strongly recommended in order to remain current. Release notes for R28 are listed below. These as well as earlier release notes can also be found on our website, as well as directly at the radio itself in the UPDATE utility. NOTE: IF YOU USE NON-FLAT TRANSMIT EQ, you will need to re-adjust the settings one time after loading this software release. See release notes for details. 73, Wayne N6KR RELEASE 28 = FUNCTIONAL CHANGES = AUDIO OUTPUT IMPROVED BY 10 DB: In previous releases, maximum audio output may have been as much as 10 dB lower than the target value with some combinations of the AGC slope and threshold menu settings. Now, maximum AF output is pre-compensated for AGC behavior. This results in a minimum speaker output of about 1.5 W into 4 ohms and 1.0 W into 8 ohms. (The new AF output specification will be at 1 W rather than 2 W.) S-METER NOW 6 dB PER S-UNIT: S-meter calibration now matches the more common industry standard. (Previously it was 5 dB per S-unit.) With this change, each tic mark of the S-meter graphic represents 3 dB. DVR (DIGITAL VOICE RECORDER): The DVR can now be used for transmit voice message record/play. There are 8 messages (2 banks of 4). Tap REC, then follow on-screen prompts. Messages can be played without on-air transmit by using transmit test mode (TEST switch). Maximum message length is 90 seconds. NEW BACKUP/RESTORE FUNCTION: Tap Fn, then hold BACKUP. This brings up the backup/restore screen. You can select whether to backup or restore five categories of data, including General Configuration, Frequency Memories, PF Key and K-Pod Macros, CW/PSK/FSK messages, DVR messages, and Diagnostic Logs. SEPARATE TX MONITOR LINE-OUT LEVEL CONTROL: Use TX Monitor Level, Line Out menu entry. Applies to both sidetone and voice monitoring, as well as to both analog and digital line out. ICON CHANGE FOR RX DYNAMIC RANGE OPTIMIZATION: The original icon, a visual hybrid of 'D' and 'R', was judged too cryptic by users. The new icon is "DR+", allowing the operator to for search for it in the operating manual. BUILT-IN OPERATING MANUAL UPDATED TO REV. C12. Covers all recent changes. = BUG FIXES = TX EQ SLIDERS NOW +/- 16 dB: The EQ sliders had been incorrectly set to +/- 4 dB. If you use non-flat EQ, you may need to do a one-time readjustment of the sliders. ELIMINATED DUAL IP ADDRESSES for the radio. This occurred very rarely. MENU IP ADDRESS FIELD EXPANDED: The parameter field now accommodates 12-digit IP addresses. ELIMINATED LOSS OF AUDIO on power-up (rare). VFO STEP RATE PRESERVED across power-downs. TX METERS STAY ON IF SPLIT TURNED ON/OFF WHILE TRANSMITTING. SBC DATE CORRECTED ON 3V BATTERY SWAP. = FOR SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS = ADDED VO$ COMMAND (VFO OFFSET). This can be used to directly offset either VFO by a specified amount. ADDED XVTR SUPPORT FOR BN+; and BN-; commands. FI$; COMMAND AI RESPONSE NOW SENT ON BAND CHANGE. __ 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] K3s USB sound card not receiving MMTTY audio
You can eliminate this problem in the future by just leaving it on LINE IN all the time. Of course, that makes phone hard but it works for me. 73, Fred ["Skip"] K6DGW Sparks NV DM09dn Washoe County Mike Dodd wrote on 1/9/2022 7:42 PM: Aargh! Aargh! Aargh! (Sound of head banging on desk.) The problem was that I did not have the K3s set to use the line input! I.e., MAIN:MIC SEL menu entry was not set to LINE IN. I feel stupid for overlooking this setting, but honestly I don't remember doing it in the past when setting up for other RTTY contests, or switching back to MIC afterward. I need to check MMTTY and N1MM to see if either sends any commands to the K3 to do this automatically. To make matters worse, I have a text document that shows connections and settings for the K3, but it didn't mention the MIC SEL menu entry; it only said to set the MIC (line) level. I completely missed the implied line input selection. You can bet that is now fixed! So, problem solved. THANK YOU to everyone who offered suggestions here and via private email. I hope I can avoid this embarrassing situation in the future. -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.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] Internet / cell phones
The hobby of Ham radio is not "fading away". Numbers (at least in the U.S.) are INCREASING. Yes it seems most people spend every 30 seconds of their day and night staring at their "smart" phones, it actually sickens me daily every time I see it. It's like a damn disease. And don't even get me started on "The Bible"... Tom On 1/10/22 10:17 AM, Vincent Diak wrote: We all should spend less time on our cell phone’s and the internet.
