[Elecraft] Switchbox for KX3

[Zbigniew Tyrlik]

>   3. switchbox KX3 to signalink/mike+headphones (her...@comcast.net)


I did something like that few times using analogue mixer, with 2 separate 
stereo buses. 

One bus is for audio from the rig(s) - first K3, FTDX5000, Yaesu 7900 into the 
computers with headphone monitoring; 
One bus is for mics ( in my case CM-500 & Heil 781) and line out from computer, 
into the rigs. 

It was Behringer, I think 1824 mixer. 

Second generation used Motu M4 with KX3, for 781 & line out of computer -> KX3, 
and KX3-> computer + headphone monitoring. After setting levels in both 
directions, it worked nicely. No signalink needed.

Re: [Elecraft] How to avoid 4 second diddle in KY RTTY commands ? Solution found.

[Zbigniew Tyrlik]

First, thanks for all the replies. 


Now to the findings. 

1) use of “|” to nuke diddles - does not work for me. 

HW is KX3 #10868, MCU software 2.95, DSP 01 52. 
Set for FSK D. 

When sending from KX3 utility, terminal window ( last tab ), there is no 
extended diddle. 

When sending from Command Tester/ KX3 macros, extended 4 sec diddle is present 
and pervasive :-). 

Following sends ( from the testing line, or from the macro ) do not nuke 
diddle: 
KY CQ TEST KU1T|; 
KY CQ TEST KU1T |; 
KYW CQ TEST KU1T|; 
KYW CQ TEST KU1T |; 
KY CQ TEST KU1T; KY |; 
KY CQ TEST KU1T; |; 

2) KX3 owner’s manual, C5, pp 18

"• The KX3 adds a 4-second “idle time” (giving you time to decide what to say 
next) after you stop sending. To terminate the idle period quickly, send

the character . . - - in CW. This “IM” prosign can also be inserted at the end 
of message buffers."

What is left is how to send . . - - in CW when operating FSK D… or how to 
insert a CW IM prosign ( which supposedly translates to | ) at the end of the 
buffer. "

Entering | does not work for me as described above. 

The programming manual Rev G4, Nov 2018, pp 15: 
"
@ In CW mode, this character normally terminates any CW message (via KY or 
manual send), emulating the K2. However, tapping 2 in CONFIG:CW WGHT changes 
‘@’ to a prosign: the ‘at’ sign as used in e-mail addresses. This is the newest 
Morse Code character; it can be remembered as the prosign ‘AC’ (as in “the At 
Character”). 

^D (EOT, ASCII 04) Quickly terminates transmission; use with CW-to-DATA.
“

While it likely work with CW-data ( not tried here), any attempt to insert ^D 
(via Alt-004 method of entering ASCII codes) or @ sign does not trim the 
diddles. 


What finally worked for me: 

In N1MM, the following Fn key assignment sends the string and immediately trims 
the diddle: 

F1 CQ, {CATA1ASC KYW CQ TEST DE KU1T CQ;}{CAT1ASC RX;}

Why my KX3 ignores | - have no idea. If anyone can verify that the | works for 
him, or tell me what I am doing wrong - I will be grateful; for now I have a 
solution - an ugly working solution beats slick nonworking one. 

See you on the bands !

[Elecraft] How to avoid 4 second diddle in KY RTTY commands ?

[Zbigniew Tyrlik]

Getting ready for this weekend RTTY. 
 
Still fighting with a 4 sec diddle at the end of KY commands... 

Anyone found which character(s) can stop / abort the 4 second diddle at the end 
of RTTY transmission ? 

It is present when using KY command from KX3 utility, from macros via utility, 
from macros assigned to PF1, and when sending using CAT1ASC command from N1MM. 

Is there a magical switch or some character to disable this feature ?  how to 
enter it ?

[Elecraft] KX3 pitch adjustment ??

[Zbigniew Tyrlik]

G’day. 

While setting my KX3 (K3 was sold few years ago), I was looking for the way to 
adjust pitch of TRRY tones.  

Looks like it is fixed at 915 - and no adjustment is possible. 

Am I correct ?

Re: [Elecraft] Keying oand sending CW on KX3 with N1MM

[Zbigniew Tyrlik]

Just working on such project - it is possible, using USB mic, and ViceMeteer 
Banana or Potato. Nice description at 
https://forums.qrz.com/index.php?threads/going-software-defined.650584;   I 
added also ability to use WSJTX, or any AFSK modes. Mic is connected to 
computer; Banana does mixing job and feeds KX3 via USB audio card.

I see :-).

Yep, that I will do. Just wanted to make sure that it was intentional, not a 
“feature”.  Took me by surprise - consider mentioning it in manual.. but that 
the way it works ( Diversity turns the Link off ) is perfectly understandable, 
especially if that was creating some confusion. 

Thank you very much again, 

best to you and whole team !

Thank you very much for the replay.. 


but my question is - why entering and exiting Diversity  does not restore 
initial state of VFO:LNK  ? 

( The CONFIG menu item, initialy set to ON, after one uses diversity receive is 
set to OFF ). 

Is it an intended side effect of turning DIversity  ON ?


With my limited experience, I’d expect that an ON-OFF transition does restore 
all affected configuration items to their initial values..

[Elecraft] Back to VFO linking.

[Zbigniew Tyrlik]

Freshly updated K3 by factory. 


Yes, I know the VFO lnk is now a menu item… 


but: 

1) use menu to turn VFO linking on. 
works as expected.  Turning VFO A properly changes VFO B. 
2) turn SUB ON.   
works as expected,  can adjust VFO B separately, and then VFO A will move both 
properly. 

3) Turn Diversity on ( Long press on on SUB ). 
VFO A and VFO B are no longer linked. Even after turning Diversity OFF, they 
are unlinked; checking COFNIG shows VFO LNK is OFF in config. 
the only way after using Diversity ON is to go into CONFIG meny to turn VFO LNK 
ON. 

What am I missing ?

[Elecraft] tune, Fset, quasar and other tidbits..

[Zbigniew Tyrlik]

Dear group wisdom.. 

I am reconfiguring my shack. As part of it, trying to set up 
K3 - mkeyerII - StationMaster - Quadra. 

Got almost everything working..but. 

On Yaesu FTDX5K, there is a nice rca jack called “TX REQ”. Closing this port 
has an affect similar to pushing TUNE button on K3- rig sends a carrier at 
predefined power, to be used for tuning amp etc. 
The Quadra is connected to this port (from Band data 2, pins 9/11 ) for the 
purpose of tuning amp/tuner.. you push the F-set or tune button on Quadra, and 
rig automagically delvers the needed power. 

On K3, I can accomplish same effect by pushing TUNE button, with predefined 
power. 

the question is if any of the jacks or lines on ACC can be used to accomplish 
this same  like pushing the TUNE button ? 

Closing Key in line in cw or USB with CW enabled generates carrier, but at 
current ( band specific) power level. 

Maybe  can I connect F-set line out of Quadra in parallel with Key line from 
mkeyerII - any reasons not to do it ? 

(yes, i spent last few hours going through manuals and googling.. so be gentle, 
please).
