Re: [Elecraft] K4D info
I have this exact same setup but I reverted back to a seperate mouse and keyboard for the radio. To many times I would forget to switch the keyboard and would start typing only to realize I was sending to the wrong device. The same with the mouse. It was a pain to have turn it over to switch devices. I often need to switch between the remote monitor and the Windows machine where I have my logging program, WSJTX, etc The logitech mouse I now use with the radio has a switch on top to change between two devices (K4 and Windows). I connect to the K4 via the receiver and to the Windows machine via Bluetooth. I use the windows machine for ham stuff and rarely need the keyboard for the K4 but do use the mouse all the time with my external display. The keyboard I use with the Windows machine still has the ability to switch to the K4 or Mac with the touch of a button on the keyboard if I needed. Since I use a separate keyboard for the Mac I really have no need to switch. Having said that I have still been known to use the wrong keyboard though not near as frequently as before. :-) 73, Tom - KQ5S > On Jul 28, 2024, at 12:53, Bill Weaver wrote: > > I use a multi-channel keyboard and mouse.

[Elecraft] K3S Memories
I am trying to use the Frequency Memory Editor to store some frequencies in memories 01-09. I set memory 01 VFO A to 3700 and VFO B to 7100. When I click on the QSY button the radio set VFO A to 3700 but does not set VFO B to 7100. It sets both VFOs to 3700. After sending the frequencies to the radio, when I use the M->V key and rotate the dial to VFO 01 and hit M->V again I get the same results. I also tried entering the frequencies in memory using the radio buttons and get the same results.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Shift Setting for WSJTX
No argument but some folks, particularly those new to WSJTX, read the WSJTX user manual and follow it. Also split mode is "encouraged" on the WSJT group. Split Operation: Significant advantages result from using Split mode (separate VFOs for Rx and Tx) if your radio supports it. If it does not, WSJT-X can emulate such behavior. Either method will result in a cleaner transmitted signal, by keeping the Tx audio always in the range 1500 to 2000 Hz so that audio harmonics cannot pass through the Tx sideband filter. Select Rig to use the radio’s Split mode, or Fake It to have WSJT-X adjust the VFO frequency as needed, when T/R switching occurs. Choose None if you do not wish to use split operation. 73, Tom - KQ5S On Tue, Jul 4, 2017 at 12:37 PM, Jim Brown <j...@audiosystemsgroup.com> wrote: > I agree.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Shift Setting for WSJTX
Wow the message only took 24 hours to post. I am no expert but from what I have read it is best to select split operations in the WSJTX settings. By doing this you can work JT9 and JT65 at the same time since WSJTX will change the split frequency to insure you are within the passband. I keep my WJTX mode set to JT9/JT65 and can work both without having to change anything. Of course I could be off in left field and if so someone will correct me. 73, Tom - KQ5S 73, Tom - KQ5S On Tue, Jul 4, 2017 at 8:05 AM, Bob McGraw K4TAX <rmcg...@blomand.net> wrote: > Why split?

[Elecraft] K3S Shift for WSJTX
I am trying to tweak my WSJTX setup. What is the recommended shift for the K3S while running WSJTX? I have the 2.8 khz SSB filter installed. I am using a width of 4 khz and using the radio in split mode. 73, Tom - KQ5S __ 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] K3S Shift Setting for WSJTX
Hope this is not a dupe. I sent it over an hour ago and nothing showed up. I am trying to tweak my WSJTX setup. What is the recommended shift for the K3S while running WSJTX?

Re: [Elecraft] Diversity and RF/Vol Controls
I had forgotten about setting the SUB AF to balance. Thanks for the reminder. Is there a macro command that will adjust the balance? I set the SUB AF to Balance and the knob on the radio controls the balance. My macro to set the SUB AF Gain still sets the gain instead of the balance. 73, Tom - KQ5S On Wed, May 24, 2017 at 6:31 PM, Dale Boresz <dmbor...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello Rich, > > I have been using diversity reception on the K3 on 40m for years, and can > control both RF gains separately, and the AF Gain controls are set so that > the larger one acts as a balance control, and the smaller one acts as a > master volume control for both simultaneously (however that can be changed > to independent AF gain controls if that is your preference). > > Some of the relevant menu settings (though probably not all) are set as > follows on my radio: > SQ SUB : 00 (Fully CCW) > SQ MAIN: 00 (Fully CCW) > SUB AF : BALANCE (for the balance/master gain scenario I described above) > -- or -- > SUB AF : nor (to enable individual control of the AF Gain for the Sub and > the Main RX) > > Hope this helps. > > 73, > > Dale - WA8SRA > > > > On Wed, May 24, 2017 at 7:02 PM, Rich <rwnewbo...@comcast.net> wrote: > > > Yes SPKRS is set to 2.

[Elecraft] Using K3S Built in Sound Card for SSB Transmit
I am wanting to use RCForb (remotehams) while I am away from my rig. I plan on running the server on the computer connected to the K3S. I would like to do this with no additional interface other than the built in USB sound card. If I set up the server with Speakers USB Audio CODEC as the Tx Audio to Radio will this pass the audio from the client to the radio either via VOX or by me pressing the Transmit button on the client. I have set up the system as mentioned above and have the receive audio from the rig going to the client on my remote computer. I do not have a microphone headset for the remote computer yet and before I buy one I would like to make sure that the codec will pass the client audio to the radio while in SSB mode. I think I might have read where the CODEC does not work in SSB mode but only in one of the data modes.
