Re: [Elecraft] K3: CW in SSB mode broken?

[Frank R. Oppedijk]

Hi Gary, group, Elecraft support,

I think I have found a strong correlation between CW in SSB not 
working and the QRQ setting. Here follows:

To make CW in SSB work: set CONFIG:QRQ to OFF, power-cycle the K3.

To break CW in SSB: set CONFIG:QRQ to ON, power-cycle the K3.

73,

Frank PA4N

Re: [Elecraft] K3: CW in SSB mode broken?

[K7MDL]

I use CW in SSB mode on VHF contest regularly.  It is a matter of
convenience.  Station is calling in SSB, and I hear them, but need to bust
through the traffic going on at the far end, especially when I am a low
power rover out in the boonies.  

I try first in SSB but soon I realize I am not going to be heard, so just
reach for the key and send a response in CW or call and listen for any
resone to me, CW or SSB.  Many operators may not even respond on CW also. 
It is convenient to be able to send CW, hear CW or SSB not fiddle with dials
at all.  An without the right CW offset you are zero beat on the other
station and he never hears you. 

Another point I did not see mentioned (or got buried) about how to make the
K3 transmit CW while listening in SSB mode while in SPLIT or when the Sub RX
it on (with or without SPLIT).  Hit B-set and put the TX VFO into CW mode. 
Now you are cross mode.  Hit REV to hear the CW side.  I do not think you
get the automatic CW offset that CW in SSB mode gets you so you have to
fiddle with the dial or XIT. In a VHF contest that takes too long,
especially as a rover in a new grid pileup. One solution is to link the VFOs
after setting your CW offset and leave it that way.

[Cady, Fred]

Actually, the question is one of the exercises in the "K3 book". And the
answer is tapping the 1 key on the CW WGT config menu.

I don't remember the menu option Fred, but it is just an option that you
turn on or off then all you need to do is key the transmitter when you
are in SSB.  The only problem that I have is occasionally bumping the
paddles and wondering what is making all the noise.  Maybe someone will
remember how to turn it on or off.  I turned mine on a few years ago and
have never turned it off!

OK, I will yield on that one.  I never really tried it because I always leave 
my VOX on and just key the key when I want to send CW.

That's NOT true. If you engage PTT, you will be transmitting SSB, and
CW will not work (as has been discussed in the last couple of days).

Re: [Elecraft] K3: CW in SSB mode broken?

[WILLIS COOKE]

The CW in SSB mode shifts the frequency for CW so that you can copy CW and SSB 
without engaging the RIT.  It is a software thing, so the choice is whether to 
engage the mode or not and when you want to send CW in the SSB mode you just 
push the key if you are in VOX.  If you are in PTT you need to also engage the 
PTT.   So, it is a no cost option if you have a K3.

  When I'm wearing my VHF Contester hat, I'm /constantly/ switching 
between CW and SSB.  In these contests, CW and SSB contacts take place in 
the same band segments (here in the PNW, calling freq +/- 20KHz), and mode 
is not a factor in the scoring.  Station asymmetry is common, and paths 
can fade quickly, so cross-mode and mixed-mode contacts are regular 
occurrences.  Indeed, I've often operated whole contests cross-mode 
because when you're portable or rover, working aurora, knife-edge, and 
back-scatter through mountains and valleys, CW is the only thing that's 
going to be heard.  Pileups are rarely a problem -- just being heard well 
enough to make the contact is challenging enough :), and in this context, 
it is not considered a rude operating practice.  The K3 makes this kind of 
operating a breeze and it's my biggest reason for buying a KX3! - kb7psg

You can use this to check into nets where US (or at least lower 48) 
folks do not have voice privileges.  There are some Canadian and Alaskan 
nets which run SSB but welcome folks running CW from the lower 48.

Re: [Elecraft] K3: CW in SSB mode broken?

[WILLIS COOKE]

Terry, my understanding is that this feature is used almost exclusively by 
DXers on the VHF bands.  I have never seen it used on the HF bands even though 
it would be legal.  It allows you to keep the receiver on SSB while using the 
transmitter on CW.  I have used it on HF to touch up my amplifier tuning, but 
on HF there is no assurance that the other operator is CW capable or will know 
what to do.  Of course there is no such assurance on VHF either, but it more 
likely that the other operator has encountered the technique.   I would not 
attempt it in an HF SSB pileup.

Nice theory, but it's not true (as far as I can see). "SSB +CW"
happens (i.e. makes RF out) for me, even if VOX is off in both modes.
If VOX is off in CW mode, I get full QSK in SSB mode. If VOX (but not
QSK) is on in CW mode, I get semi-QSK in SSB mode. The SSB VOX setting
doesn't make any difference.

It kinda seems like a bug that CW makes RF in SSB mode when VOX is off
in CW mode

CW works in SSB mode only if Vox is on because you have not used the 
PTT.  This is exactly parallel to the procedure for CW, where you can 
only send without PTT by turning Vox on.

[Elecraft] K3: CW in SSB mode broken?

[Richard Fjeld]

I can't do 6M, but I use this feature often on the other bands.  I don't use 
VOX.  I just hooked up the antenna and verified it.  Using f/w 04.36

Dick, n0ce

"One thing that disappointed me is that this very useful cross-mode feature (at 
least 
on 6m, where I do most of my operating), is available only if you are running 
VOX mode."

[Elecraft] K3: CW in SSB mode broken?

[Edward R. Cole]

Lance and Don,

That is exactly how I have my K3 configured with an external 
sequencer.  In voice the PTT keys the K3 and I take KEYOUT to key the 
sequencer.  The final stage of the sequencer defeats the INHIBIT line 
to the K3 enabling transmit.  I do not run QSK on VHF so I manually 
switch the sequencer for hand sent CW.

Of course if under sw control of WSJT (JT65) PTT is controlled via 
RTS or DTR lines in the serial interface and the radio is in DATA-A 
which uses USB.  JT65 has a CW mode, although I have not used 
it.  Instead I have a separate CW program that keys PTT and CW via 
the RS232 line.  I only use keyboard CW when running eme.

I use BAND0 line to enable my inhibit so it is not in use on 
HF/6m.  I will add 6m sequencing/inhibit via DIGOUT1.  I just 
installed a 222 transverter so I will also need to use BAND1 for 
TRN2.  Simple diode steering will enable all these to enable the 
inhibit function:

Re: [Elecraft] K3: CW in SSB Mode broken?

[Jerry.Van]

I, too, recall this being broken some time back. And I also seem to remember 
a promise to fix it. It would be quite helpful if it worked while in Split 
for users such as myself that need to tune on a Split frequency for autotune 
amps, tuners, etc.

Jerry  N8BM

CW in SSB mode generally works fine here but not if I am in split mode. 
Itseems like it used to but I cannot make it work in split mode now. 
I'mrunning FW 4.47. Any thoughts? Stan - K6VWE

Re: [Elecraft] K3: CW in SSB mode broken?

Thanks Iain.  I do hear guys doing that on 6 once in awhile.  Also just 
tuning around on 6 in ssb mode, many times I will hear someone on cw, so I 
can see that it might be useful there also, being able to just give him a 
call instead of switching modes & retuning.

For one thing, it's quite useful on 6m, where DX will often switch

Hi Frank and All,

It may have been mentioned before, because I come late to this thread.  But, 
I have noticed the same thing while I am in SPLIT mode, not otherwise.

I hope this helps.

For those who say it is broken - are you by any chance in split mode?  It does 
not work in split(at least for me).  Otherwise, works fine.

Re: [Elecraft] K3: CW in SSB mode broken?

[Gary Hinson]

Mmm, interesting.  

Prompted by other comments, I tested CW-in-SSB band-by-band.  Starting at
10m and working systematically down to 160m, the K3 would go into transmit
mode but produce no power out on any band.  However, after moving 'down'
from 160m to 6m, it mysteriously started working again - and now works
correctly on every band.

So, it seems that merely by changing bands and hitting the paddle, I have
cleared whatever it was that blocked the transmitter in CW-in-SSB.  How odd!

Frank (or anyone else whose CW-in-SSB doesn't work): perhaps you would try
the same thing?

It still smells of a firmware bug to me.

Re: [Elecraft] K3: CW in SSB mode broken?

[Ted Bryant]

Have you tried plugging a straight key into the KEY jack to see if it sends
cw on ssb that way?

Mine works (v4.39) with a paddle or straight key, vox or ptt, any band.

Gary and others,

Yes, I momentarily saw it working okay on 6 meters when I did a brief
transmission on that band.

Unfortunately, as I don't have an antenna for 6 meters, the K3
encountered a high SWR there. And now it outputs only about 5 watts
on each band (also in CW mode) when I've dialed an output power less
than 12W. If I select a power level over 12W, so the KPA100 should
kick in, I get no output whatsoever.

So maybe I broke something now. :-(

Or the cryptic bug has manifested itself in the CW mode too.

Any ideas whether I could do a software reset of the radio?

Fingers crossed here now...

Re: [Elecraft] K3: CW in SSB mode broken?

[Gary Hinson]

Hi Frank.

I have the same problem: CW in SSB no longer works on K3#2887 running
firmware 4.39.  I raised this on the reflector some months back and went
around the loop changing config settings, PTT, QRQ etc.  I did manage to fix
it temporarily by restoring the K3 firmware configs, but annoyingly it has
packed up again since then.

I *think* CW-in-SSB it might still work on some bands, not others.  At
least, that's what I found last time I checked - I haven't checked lately.

I suspect there might be a cryptic bug in the firmware (the best kind!).

Re: [Elecraft] K3: CW in SSB mode broken?

Hi Ken,

No, I think not. If I assert PTT and speak, I see plenty output 
power. If I switch to CW mode and make CW, I see plenty output power. 
So it cannot be that...

Re: [Elecraft] K3: CW in SSB mode broken?

[Frank R. Oppedijk]

Hi,

I'm not asserting PTT. If I did, I'd indeed be transmitting SSB, as 
can be clearly heard on the monitor. So it must be yet something else...

Re: [Elecraft] K3: CW in SSB mode broken?

[iain macdonnell - N6ML]

Even with VOX on, if you assert PTT along with CW keying, you will be
transmitting in SSB mode, not CW. Try disconnecting PTT and see if it
works...

Re: [Elecraft] K3: CW in SSB mode broken?

[Frank R. Oppedijk]

Hi Greg,

Yes, I have tried with VOX on. I see the red TX led on the K3 come 
on, I see the leftmost bar in the RF output lcd bar come on. But no 
RF output on my external SWR meter. That SWR *does* show RF output 
when I speak into the mike, or when I switch to CW mode and make CW.

[Elecraft] K3: CW in SSB mode broken?

[Frank R. Oppedijk]

Hi group,

Some time ago, I used to be able to send CW while in SSB mode, but it 
no longer works. I do have the SSB +CW option on (press 1 in 
CONFIG:CW WGHT), and do have the CW sidetone when I key my paddle 
while in SSB mode. But the K3 does not produce RF output. I'm using 
firmware version 04.39.

Did anyone else notice this? Have I missed something?

73,

Frank PA4N
