[Elecraft] [K3] Feature request - based on the KX2

[John W2XS]

The KX2 now allows 4 separate programmable functions when the "PFn" key is
pressed. That would be a nice feature on the K3 for the PF1 and PF2 buttons.
There are many times now when I disconnect the USB cable from the rig as I
have found a large (10 to 20 dB) increase in noise floor on some bands when
the cable is connected. (I have tried a few things to fight the noise floor
increase but no success so far).

73,  John W2XS

[Elecraft] [K3] Feature Request: memory write-locks

[Jessie Oberreuter]

 I use 0 through 9 on the K2 and K3 as permanent "jump to band; 
configure appropriately" memories. This normally works great, but I have a 
frustrating habit of accidentally pressing STORE or V->M when I mean to 
press RCL or M->V, and there go my settings.  I'm not expecting a K2 
update :), but perhaps there might be a bit lying about in each K3 memory 
for a toggleable write-lock?

Did you try turning the VOX Delay down to zero?

Worked for me when running remotely!

[Elecraft] K3 feature request - Stop the KAT500 Relay Switch in Split

[Ralph McClintock]

 The KAT500 relay switch over between two in-band segments is driving 
me nuts. A lot of DXpeditions on 160 use 1823.0Khz for transmit 
listening up 1-5khz. Every time the K3 goes from A RX to B TX, and back 
again, it involves a cur-chunk from the KAT500 whether the tuner is in 
Auto or Manual.  It happens where ever there is a segment boundary but 
is particularly annoying in the DX portions of the CW bands. Would it be 
possible to alter the K3's firmware to recognize a Split or XIT from the 
K3 as a Transmit on B VFO or XIT only? I know it would not affect owners 
of rigs other than the K3/K3s.

Tnx,
W1ZK

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft K3 Feature Request - Main: ALARM - Tap 4 to activate reminder to ID

[Merv Schweigert]

I think there should be a conelrad alert system built in also,  since 
the K3 can cover
the BC band and knows when the alert system would go off,  have the 
display blink

the entire display for national alerts.
If the VHF option was installed it could also pick up the weather alert 
signals and

warnings and flash that on the screen..,

Of course in a conelrad alert it should disable the transmitter 
immediately per regulations.


There should also be a roger beep sent when unkeying the mike so that 
you know your
no longer transmitting and the other station can hear when you stop for 
sure, so they do
not double on your transmission.   Something new other than the standard 
beep we

hear,  perhaps a ding dong type sound.

Just a few more features and the K3 could be the best general radio on 
the market.


73 Merv K9FD/KH6


Nice, Key on the PTT key, you would get one more warning 10 minutes (or 9)
after your last transmit then no more.  I am bad at IDs but this falls into
the someday bucket.

Years ago, one of the Heath accessories [to the SB3xx twins I think] had

Don't remember how it was reset, PTT?

[Elecraft] K3 - Feature Request

[Fred Jensen]

Would it be possible to have an option that will either work the way it 
does now, or will preserve the SPLIT setting if you make a quick QSY to 
another band and then come back?


I'm officially on the "Didn't Get The 'UP' Memo" list as a result of a 
quick check of 30 and return to 20.  I did realize it after one call 
[provoking an UP Cop's ire] because I had N1MM+ running and it says 
"Split" in big letters if you are and I wasn't.  But for that, it would 
have taken me longer to realize I was simplex.


K1N on 20 CW today.  It appears the mean-spirited crowd is dwindling.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 feature request 'CW in SSB' change

[Michael Adams]

The "put the K3 in TEST mode" has the additional advantage of requiring no
additional work for someone who just turns the VOX off when not actively
using the powered-up radio.  Just push-and-hold a different button.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 feature request 'CW in SSB' change

[w7xu]

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the request, but it doesn't seem like
a good idea to me.

Imagine I'm on 6m during a contest with CW in SSB enabled.
I'm keying the radio with the computer, so I have the VOX-QSK
button set to PTT.  I'm on phone, but I want to answer someone
on CW.  So now I won't be able to send CW without engaging
the VOX?  Or, if I was using the radio with a transverter, I'd
have to run VOX and likely blow up my preamp?

Sorry, but I'd vote no on that.

Could I offer a suggestion?  Hold the right side of the mode button to 
put the K3 into TX TEST to prevent any RF from going out if the K3 is 
falsely triggered into transmit.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 feature request 'CW in SSB' change

[Tom H Childers]

I use CW when in SSB when on 6m a lot, but I jeep the paddles in a
clear area where nothing can touch them except my thumb and
forefinger. Even then I bump them anyway.

Joe is right!  We don't need changes to the K3 to protect us from
making mistakes.

[Elecraft] [K3] Feature request: persistent text decode

[Pierfrancesco Caci]

While we're talking about feature requests for the K3,
I'd like to have the possibility to have the text decode in the vfoB
area stay there, and not quickly return to displaying frequency as soon
as the other station stops transmitting. An additional entry for the
DISP menu should be ok. If this feature is already there and I somehow
missed it, feel free to beat me senseless :-)

Asunto: [Elecraft] K3 feature request, separate monitor tx-audio levels for
speakers and line-out

Recording of TX audio is possible since:

MCU 2.72 / DSP 1.98, 12-9-2008
Misc. Changes:
** LINE OUT INCLUDES TX AUDIO: LINE OUT (*nor* menu setting) now includes
transmit sidetone and speech/data monitor audio.

The monitor audio level is  the same for the speakers (headphone) as for the
line-out.
It would be nice if monitor tx-audio levels could be set separate of each
other for recording and streaming purposes .
Fixed level TX monitor line out is ok too if that makes things easier.

Monitor addition for example:
MON-speaker-level (front, MON as we know now) MON-line-level (somewhere in
the menu, once set not often changed)

This way the Monitor TX audio level for recording or streaming is
independent from the operator's preference to monitor the tx-audio.
Yes even I get tired of my own voice but still what a nice recording of the
complete QSO.

I know this feature is on the "consider" list but it has been a while so
therefore the request to reconsider the consider list a bit :)

Thanks in advance,

Hugo pa4la

[Elecraft] K3 feature request, separate monitor tx-audio levels for speakers and line-out

[pa4la]

Recording of TX audio is possible since:

MCU 2.72 / DSP 1.98, 12-9-2008
Misc. Changes:
** LINE OUT INCLUDES TX AUDIO: LINE OUT (*nor* menu setting) now includes 
transmit sidetone and speech/data monitor audio.

The monitor audio level is  the same for the speakers (headphone) as for the 
line-out.
It would be nice if monitor tx-audio levels could be set separate of each other 
for recording and streaming purposes .
Fixed level TX monitor line out is ok too if that makes things easier.

Monitor addition for example:
MON-speaker-level (front, MON as we know now)
MON-line-level (somewhere in the menu, once set not often changed)

This way the Monitor TX audio level for recording or streaming is independent 
from the operator's preference to monitor the tx-audio.
Yes even I get tired of my own voice but still what a nice recording of the 
complete QSO.

I know this feature is on the "consider" list but it has been a while so 
therefore the request to reconsider the consider list a bit :)

Thanks in advance,

Hugo pa4la

Toggle SPKR+PH with audio (e.g. WWV) at normal listening level.  Both
of my K3s ramp audio down over about 1/3 to 1/2 second and the audio
gets very distorted just before shutting off.

If that's the case then of course it wouldn't make sense to do.

 haven't noticed that effect on my K3 and actually when just tested it now
I don't hear anything other than a very faint click when the speaker
switches off (I have PF2 programmed to toggle SPKR+PH). Maybe it's only on
some K3's?

Headphone and Speaker audio share a common source (the same digital to
analog converter).  There is no a separate audio feed for headphone and
speakers (K3 Schematics package, pg 28 and 29).

What Wayne would need to do is mute the speaker (shutdown the speaker
amplifier) during transmit - and only for voice (AM, FM, SSB) modes.
However, if you notice the shutdown behavior of the speaker amplifier
it does not turn off instantly and generates a lot of distortion during
the process.  That ramp down and distortion would be very annoying.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 feature request - auto-changing tuning rate

[Merv Schweigert]

To go from CW to SSB requires no knob spinning at all,
Just set two of the memory buttons,  one for each mode,
and they are band dependent so each band has its own
settings.  That way it changes modes, filters,  freq etc all
in one push of the button.
Operates somewhat like band stacking,  if you want more
setting per band just use the other Mem buttons.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 feature request - auto-changing tuning rate

[Greg]

Greetings -- This is probably well known to mose but for those who may be
interested in changing frequencies/modes within a band...What I do is assign
each band to a button 160-10 -- buttons 1 thru 9.  (6 meters on 0).  Then
when I am on a given band, I use the DVR/memory buttons to save additional
frequencies -- a bit like band stacking registers but I have to push two
buttons instead of one (M>V, and the "DVR memory key").  I use memory 1 for
a favorite frequency on cw,  memory 2 for the PSK31 frequency on the given
band (also saving mode), memory 3 for rtty (also saving mode), and memory 4
for a favorite frequency in the phone band.  I'm never too far away from
operating where I want to be.  (If you wish, you can also save VFO A
frequency significantly far away from VFO B frequency and use a/b to move
from one end of a sub band to the other, also)  Of course you can also input
a frequency using the numeric buttons which is fairly quick also.  73 de

If it's selectable and I can turn it off, fine.  My FT-847 does this and

It's not the coarse rate that is an issue for me, although it would
certainly be nice for it to step up to 1 KHz if I really spun the
VFO.  What I'd prefer is ability to into fine if I'm tuning slowly,
particularly in data mode.

[Elecraft] K3 feature request - auto-changing tuning rate

[DOUGLAS ZWIEBEL]

I'd never use it, but if it can be added and menu selectable (on/off),
what the heck...no skin off my back.

What I do, if want to make a big frequency excursion on the same
band/mode is simply use the "keypad" to enter the frequency in the
range I want to target.  But honestly, since I mostly use the rig for
contesting, I just keyboard in the QRG in the "callsign field" of my
logging program and bang...I'm there.

The K3 tuning rate is already selectable per mode.  See the Config menu

In addition, there are the FINE/COARSE and RATE buttons to help you with 
the tuning rate.

Please -- no dynamic tuning for me, it drives me crazy.

I would like that too.  I think either Icom or Ten-Tec that does that.

Icom does a good job on tuning rates, with a slow rate for CW and RTTY
(switch selectable) and a faster rate for SSB.

I change the K3's tuning rate for CW/RTTY to 1 kHz and back to 2 kHz for SSB
with the same with a macro in DXLab's Commander, but it would be nice for
the radio to do that automatically and speed up as Barry mentioned too.

[Elecraft] K3 feature request, DUAL PB, VFO A-B independence

[Mike K2MK]

Chasing a rare one operating split on RTTY, I will use the SUB RX and two
MMTTY windows so that I can see what's going on up in frequency. I'll have
the bandwidth narrow on VFO A and wide on the SUB RX. Sometimes I'll hunt
for a clear spot and sometimes I'll hunt for the station being worked.

Occasionally I will turn on the Dual PB to help copy the DX station.
Unfortunately this also causes the SUB to go into DPB. If I go into BSet and
turn off the DPB it also turns it off in VFO A. So obviously there is no VFO
independence for the DPB feature. 

I would like to request that the DPB feature have VFO independence.

Seeing a request like this points out how diverse a group the K3 users are.

Some things that some may find important are not even close to being on the
radar for others.

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

The only change in f/w was to the S-Meter calibration on 144 Mhz. there 
was no change in sensitivity and the gain of the K144XV is fixed in h/w.

We are revisiting the cal level for the S-Meter on 144 MHz.

[Elecraft] K3 Feature request

[w8zn]

Now that the K144XV is available and a lot of us are planning to use it to 
drive microwave transverters, it would be really nice if there was some way to 
easily adjust IF gain. I know there was a gain change after 3.97 so it appears 
this is available in the firmware. Is there a way that along with RF freq, IF 
freq and offset offered in the XV config that there could be a gain per band 
setting added? When you add a transverters, most times the transverter has a 
fair amount of conversion gain and having the S-meter sit at S5 with noise 
doesn't help dynamic range. For eme'ers, we typically have lots of gain in 
preamps that drives the S-meter up. Using the ATT works but it's either in or 
out, nothing in between.

Just a thought.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Feature Request

[Lu Romero]

Oh, yes, the vaunted CBS Labs/Thomson CSF Volumax/Audimax
twins!  Bob Orban and Frank Foti made a career tweaking
those things.  My club has a TV Station Veteran Audimax
(left channel unit) handling the audio from the computer on
a repeater EchoLink VoIP circuit.  Not too Ham Friendly, no
blinking lights, just a big edge meter marked green and red
smack dab in the middle... And, it makes a wonderful rack
shelf for the LCD computer monitor, too!

Joe, W4TV, I now know, in retrospect, that I should have
confiscated that Kahn Symetra-Peak that was being used as a
doorstop at the Radio station transmitter site in San
Antonio before Waterman sold the stations for a much higher
calling in Ham Radio!

I coudda been a contendah on 3.625 with that box!  :)

For each voice, polarity only needs to be set once for each
mic source.  For
crystal, ceramic, and dynamic mics, that can usually be
accomplished by
inverting the polarity at the mic element.

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

Good information on the Symmetra-Peak and phase rotation/scrambling
can be found here: http://www.w3am.com/8poleapf.html and a discussion
of AM symmetry with info on the "all pass filter" (phase rotation)
here: http://www.tonnesoftware.com/appnotes/allpass/allpass.html.

I suspect the rotation would take very few resources to accomplish
in DSP and could be easily accommodated in the TX EQ and/or audio (level 
control) portion of the ALC circuits.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Feature Request

Or Lyle could simply include the "phase scrambler" (phase rotation)
function in the DSP.  IIRC, the Kahn box simply ran the audio through
a filter that caused a frequency dependent phase rotation resulting
in audio that had symmetric positive and negative peaks and avoided
issues with microphone polarity that was voice specific (e.g., one
DJ's voice was "positive dominant" while another was "negative."

The correct word to say what you mean is POLARITY, NOT PHASE.  Phase is 
a continuously valued function, and has the units of degrees. Polarity 
is the word that describes whether the waveform is inverted or not. 
Changing the phase of a signal is VERY different from changing its 
polarity.

What you're asking for is a very good idea. Circuits that sense which 
part of the signal is hotter and reverses it if necessary to keep the 
hottest part on top (to prevent carrier cutoff) have been around since 
at least the 50s.

Yes, they are. We got educated about that nearly 30 years ago in the pro 
audio world, where the difference is also quite important. Many mfrs

OK, thanks for the education.  I'm not an RF engineer, but every product on

(start with http://www.nu9n.com/am.html) calls what I'm talking about as
phase inversion.  They could all be using the wrong term for all I know.

I currently am able to achieve what I'm looking for by using the W2IHY iPlus
in the audio chain driving the K3.  You just flip the Invert Phase switch
when you need it.  There are Behringer products that do the same thing.  You
can SEE the difference it makes on a scope or even a simple AVG reading
power meter when you have correct phase.  For example, on an AVG reading
meter, with negative or incorrect phase, you actually see negative
deflection on the meter needle.  When you have it correct, you see positive
deflection on the meter needle.  It's more obvious on the scope, as pointed
out on NU9N's site. I don't currently have a scope, but I've done the same
tests in the past.

It would be really cool if the K3 could do this too.

The correct word to say what you mean is POLARITY, NOT PHASE.  Phase is 
a continuously valued function, and has the units of degrees. Polarity 
is the word that describes whether the waveform is inverted or not. 
Changing the phase of a signal is VERY different from changing its 
polarity.

What you're asking for is a very good idea. Circuits that sense which 
part of the signal is hotter and reverses it if necessary to keep the 
hottest part on top (to prevent carrier cutoff) have been around since 
at least the 50s.

[Elecraft] K3 Feature Request

[Tim Tucker]

For AM users, could we get the ability to invert the voice phase as a
feature of the K3?  This would allow us to make sure that the audio phase
orientation is correct where the positive peaks are always greater than the
negative peaks.  Even better, it would be cool if the rig could auto detect
an incorrect phase orientation and invert it automatically for us.

Thanks for considering it...

[Elecraft] K3 Feature request - CW-to-data adjustable idle time

[Barry]

The CW to Data is a VERY neat feature.  Nice way to be able to work RTTY with
my currently minimal setup.  However, the 4 second idle at the end of the
xmsn is WAY too long.  I understand the ..-- option to end it, but a CONFIG
setting to adjust it would be great to have.
Tnx,

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Feature Request - Stopping CW Memory Playback with PTT

[Bruce McLaughlin]

On my K-3 touching the dit paddle will interrupt transmission of a CW
message from memory.  It reminds me quite a bit of the coastal stations when
they used to send CW.  Stations such as WCC would be sending their ID tapes
and all of a sudden you heard a single dit and the tape would stop.  The
operator would send that dit when he heard a ship calling.  My K-3 works in
much the same fashion.  If I am using QSK while sending a CW message from
memory if IE or anything all I need to do is touch the dit paddle and my
transmission stops.

Makes total sense to me. Any call for another transmission source, VOX, PTT,

external key line input, or paddles, should halt automatic transmissions.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Feature Request - Stopping CW Memory Playback with PTT

[Bob Naumann]

Gary,

 

You should use the ability in N1MM to control the K3 DVR. I think I might
have bought the K3 to get this capability alone.

 

Here are the key definitions to use in N1MM to access the 4 K3 DVR memories:

F1 CQ,{CATA1ASC K31;SWT21;}
F2 Exch,{CATA1ASC K31;SWT31;}
F3 Thanks!,{CATA1ASC K31;SWT35;}
F4 {MYCALL},{CATA1ASC K31;SWT39;}

See more at Iain N6ML's website here:

http://www.dseven.org/ar/n1mm-kdvr3



Then, whether you are sending CW or SSB, it's the same keys on the keyboard
regardless of mode.

 

It will help your contest scores greatly.

 

73,

 

Bob W5OV

Andy,

If tapping the Footswitch (PTT) stops transmitting of the DVR in SSB...I
don't see why it should be any different for CW either.

I think I would have difficulty in "learning" to use software (keyboard
keys) to stop transmitting.

Although I don't like to use VOX as I tend to mess up too often, if VOX was
being used then maybe it too should be used to stop transmitting.

The DVR in a contest is great and although I use N1MM most of the time I
seldom use the function keys in the software.

Obviously I am not a great contester, but I do enjoy the challenges it
throws up and it certainly has helped me improve my general operating
procedures and practices. I think it is fair to say it has knocked off a few
bad habits I think I had gotten into.

I think that puts me in your camp Andy?

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Feature Request - Stopping CW Memory Playback with PTT

The paddle is the most logical device to use to stop the CW from the radio's
memories.

In a contest, you should probably be using the CW sending capability of your
logging program instead of the radio's memories as it most likely allows
hitting of the Esc key on your keyboard to stop the CW which I'm sure you'd
find more convenient.

  Hi everyone,
I don't know if this has been asked for before, nor do I know if indeed it
can be implemented but I'd like to see each VFO save its splits etc when
changing between VFO A & B.
To illustrate what I mean, I currently have 146.675MHz FM with a -600KHz
offset setup in VFO A.
I also have 146.500MHz FM setup in VFO B. (That I use in simplex mode)

The problem is that the repeater offset stays on, no matter which VFO is in
use and what I'd like is for the K3 to save the offset setting per VFO so
that as I change VFO's, I also change from using a repeater offset to
working simplex without having to remember to change the offset back to
simplex manually.

Can this be done?

Thanks in advance,

It would be nice to be able to independently select mic gain for front or
rear panel input. Currently, changing one also changes the other. It would
be nice to be able to set, say, rear panel input to low gain (rP.L) and
front panel input to high gain (FP.H) independently. I find the
computer-type headset with electret microphone I use on the rear panel (bias
turned on) has plenty of gain and only requires the low mic gain setting.
However, using a dynamic hand mic on the front panel (bias turned off)
requires gain set to high.

I know it is only a small issue but it would be nice to have it added to the
"To Do" list, if not already there.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Feature request

[Mike K2MK]

Actually you can't do that with the K3 at narrower bandwidths in CW. The RX
EQ is deactivated at narrower filter settings. (Unless this changed in a
recent firmware release). I don't recall what the cutoff width is and I
can't find it described in the latest manual. 

There is also a minor annoyance with using +db settings in the RX EQ for CW
because as the filter width is decreased, there will be a noticeable
decrease in volume when you hit the point at which the RX EQ is deactivated.
Also as you indicated, 400Hz or 800Hz for peaking may not be everyone's cup
of tea.

Maybe this is a good time to suggest an adjustable audio peak filter.

In CW mode you also have DUAL PB which tracks your PITCH setting.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Feature request

[The Smiths]

Mike,


The contour is nothing more than a Notch/Dip filter or a Peak filter (you can 
change it's function in the menu).  Basically you center the "contour" in the 
center of the pass band (pitch freq) and you can set it to either Push up that 
signal (no different than if you set your Pitch freq. to 400hz and went into 
your RX EQ and turned up the EQ 400Hz setting to +1 - +16)  or suppress (Turn 
down your 400Hz -1 to -16 on that freq.) the pass band area.

The reason I chose 400Hz is because unlike the contour which can variably move 
through the entire pass band area (600Hz - 900Khz) , with the K3 you only get a 
specific Freq. settings for each EQ setting.. 400Hz happens to be one.  I 
belive there's another for 800Hz as well.. If you can stand to listen to your 
CW tone that high...
 

So there you have it.. You have a Suedo Contour feature on your K3 already...  
If you need further explaination please feel free to email me off the group...73

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Feature Request - Independent Selection of Mic Gain F/R

[Jim McDonald]

Andy,

I use DXLab's Commander, its rig control module, with its user-defined
sequences to do this.  They are DXLab's equivalent of K3 macros.  I have one
to switch between the two mic inputs and set the TXEQ for each.

My setup has a PR781 on the front input and a Heil Proset Plus on the rear.
I have no EQ on the Proset and quite a bit on the PR781.

If you use DXLab I can send you the text file.

Jim N7US



-Original Message-


You might be able to use a pair of command macros to set the gain and  
select front or rear microphone.

This isn't quite what you asked for, but one of the motivations for  
offering command macros was to allow you to do something like this.

[Elecraft] K3 Feature request

If you happened to read W3IZ's review of the FTDX9000MP in the July QST you
will find an interesting comment on page 46. I don't know what it is but I
want it on my K3. Here's the quote:

[Elecraft] K3 Feature Request - Independant Selection of Mic Gain F/R

[Andy Wood]

It would be nice to be able to independently select mic gain for front or
rear panel input. Currently, changing one also changes the other. It would
be nice to be able to set, say, rear panel input to low gain (rP.L) and
front panel input to high gain (FP.H) independently. I find the
computer-type headset with electret microphone I use on the rear panel (bias
turned on) has plenty of gain and only requires the low mic gain setting.
However, using a dynamic hand mic on the front panel (bias turned off)
requires gain set to high.

I know it is only a small issue but it would be nice to have it added to the
"To Do" list, if not already there.

Tom, I'v sent you the qwerty link privately.
But this topic was about a query, not qwerty :-)

The query was about a scalable IF gain/AGC threshold, compensating the
higher bandnoiselevels on the lower bands (see first two posts)
