Re: [Elecraft] K3 and MicroKeyer MKII

2009-12-20 Thread Hugo pa4la
Dr Evert,

 

First off all for MK2

Use separate virtual comports in the router for every Item you want to
control.

So no virtual comport sharing. 

Eg cat virtual comport = ptt virtual comport must be avoided.

That can cause strange behaviour in combination with different programs.

 

For the K3

Check your PTT-KEY setting in the K3 advanced menu.

Start with disabling those setting e.g. OFF-OFF

That way you can't trigger PTT or Key via the K3's DB9 connector

You do not need those controls if you use the MK2 anyway 

 

Gd luck

[Elecraft] K3 command mode default k30 k31

2009-10-01 Thread Hugo pa4la
I am playing with my Microham MK2 and have learned that,

 the K3 must be in extended (k31) command mode for the MK2 to switch correct
between audio or fsk data modes

 

When the K3 is powered on, the mode setting is always standard k30.

Putting the k31 command via a terminal is not a big issue but it would save
a couple of mouse clicks :)

 

Is there a way tot save the k31 setting or a way to make k31 the default
setting?

 

Tnx in advance,

 

Hugo pa4la

[Elecraft] K3 Request VFO round freq when coarse tune

2008-12-15 Thread Hugo pa4la
 

K3 FW feature request:

Freq rounding when coarse tune as an option

 

Rounding of frequencies for digits smaller than the step size when using
coase tuning.

Perhaps independent settings for mode and/or depending on frequency range.

 

VFO_OFS=ON, using rit/xit when off for coarse tune

 

Example rounding:

Mode AM, coarse step 1khz

Freq 7012.45 when using coarse tune I see 7013.45, 7014.45 etc for the next
steps

It would be nice to see 7013.00, 7014.00.

 

Same as on 10mtr FM 5 khz coarse.

First you have to tune the vfo to the round freq (channel), only then you
can effectively use coarse tune to hop through the channels.

 

An extra feature could be automatic "channel" frequency set within a part of
the spectrum

The European Medium wave band is a good example, 9khz channels beginning at
531Khz ending 1620Khz

BC, CB, 10mtr FM and even some digimodes on 20m are more examples

Coarse tune could be a nice operational feature to quickly scan "canalized"
activity on a band.

 

But.. well. when I read this..I get a dejavu.

I talk about the channel encoder function as on my gd old TS850.

Could that "tool" be implemented pse?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Hugo pa4la
