[Elecraft] Is this feature in the K3? Have I missed it?

2009-12-07 Thread Lee Buller

Is there a feature in the K3 that changes the PWR control from fine to course?  
I am not complaining, but it seems that at times I would like to have a course 
adjustment on the PWR control to set up an amplifier quickly.

Just a thoughtPWR- FINE/COURSE

In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply.  If you don't 
have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it.  If you can't find 
any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense.  Is 
Common Sense divine?

[Elecraft] Is this feature in the K3? Have I missed it?

2009-12-07 Thread Don Ehrlich
Way back in early K3 days there was a request for speed-sensitive power 
setting, I think.  Faster spinning of the knob would move the power setting 
faster.  I think such a feature is on the "list."   Of course, I could be 
thinking of some other similar feature .. don't remember for sure.

If there is I have also missed it. I'd be happy to have 1W increments below
12W and 5W increments above. Perhaps the new macro feature could be used to
set the power to a convenient level?

That's a feature I have often wanted to see as well.  My contest buddy Al
VA1MM lives 1/8 mile away and I work him to get the NS/MAR mult some times
or just to say hello, and I hate to hit him with 100W.  Unfortunately in a
contest one has no time to adjust the K3 output power to a reasonable level
for this circumstance as it is currently designed.  

Mind you, it does rather even the score for the couple times he has whacked
me with 600W in DX contests when I have had the AGC turned OFF.

You can easily create a macro that will set the power in one button-press. For 
example, 
PC065; will set the power output to 65 watts.

Having it set dBw would make more sense.
