Re: [Elecraft] K3 - TX EQ settings not remembered.
It's been a while since I used Win4K3, but I believe the EQ settings can be set there. That's probably why yours are getting set back. 73, Randy, KS4L On Fri, Nov 2, 2018, 3:07 PM Don Wilhelm Gary, > > Email Tom (author of Win4K3) and see if he has some kind of workaround. > > 73, > Don W3FPR > > On 11/2/2018 3:59 PM, Gary Smith wrote: > > Don, > > > > I'll give your suggestion a try & see how > > that does. > > > > I do use Win4K3, I need it to use WSJT as > > WSJT doesn't like to share ports.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 - TX EQ settings not remembered.
How are you turning off the K3? I seem to recall that some settings aren't saved if you turn it off by removing power.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 - TX EQ settings not remembered.
Hi Don, No, I set them for SSB and at a later time the TX EQ is flat and I have to change it back to the settings to fit my mic. I don't use AM except to listen to broadcast stations & listen to the nature of RFI. It was when in AM I was listening to RFI that I thought to check the TX EQ settings and found them different than I had made them. When I thought to see if they were like that in SSB again, I found the values there all 0. I then checked different bands and none of them had my saved TX EQ on SSB. 73, Gary KA1J > Gary, > > The EQ settings are per-mode. > If you set them for SSB mode and then go to AM mode, you will find > them set flat. > > Is that possibly the problem? > > 73, > Don W3FPR > > On 11/2/2018 1:31 PM, Gary Smith wrote: > > I seem to have an issue with the K3 memory > > settings for the microphone.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 - TX EQ settings not remembered.
Gary, The EQ settings are per-mode. If you set them for SSB mode and then go to AM mode, you will find them set flat. Is that possibly the problem? 73, Don W3FPR On 11/2/2018 1:31 PM, Gary Smith wrote: I seem to have an issue with the K3 memory settings for the microphone.

[Elecraft] K3 - TX EQ settings not remembered.
I seem to have an issue with the K3 memory settings for the microphone. I changed the TX EQ to match settings and now when I check, the TX EQ is back to flat again. This has been happening since I set the values. I've had to restore the values I know them by heart and can do it quickly. Still, I don't know when they get lost so I always have to keep checking to be sure they are still active. Just now, when I checked the different modes I find AM mic settings modified in the TX EQ but not with the same values as I used. I set the TX EQ for use with SSB and the MH4, I only found the AM settings were other than "0" when listening to some power line RFI on AM & that AM setting was still on when I happened to check the TX EQ settings. All the other mic settings for SSB were back to default 0. Having had to reset the mic settings frequently, last night I made the settings, turned off the K3, restarted & the settings were still intact. This next day, they are now lost again. To make the settings I enter the main config. Tap the needed # to get each individual audio band, I use VFO A to select the desired value, tap config when done to exit and that's all I do. What am I missing to save this to the K3's non-volatile memory?
