[Elecraft] K3 Utility and LP-Bridge - Correction
I have been corresponding recently with Dick Dievendorff about this. I am looking into allowing K3 Utility to work through LP-Bridge. The issue has to do with K3 Utility needing to be able to change one of the meta commands in the K3, which is normally blocked by LP-Bridge to prevent multiple applications from independently changing meta commands which might conflict with other apps. If I do this, it will add a check box for the VPort where K3 Utility is connected, and I would still strongly recommend that flashing of new firmware NOT be done through LP-Bridge. 73, Larry N8LP Date: Thu, 18 Feb 2010 11:01:57 -0800 (PST) From: Bob - W0GI b...@gotoloveland.com Subject: [Elecraft] K3 Utility and LP-Bridge - Correction To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Message-ID: 1266519717347-4593636.p...@n2.nabble.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii While setting up LP-Bridge, I assumed the the K3 Utility would work ok as Test Communications worked ok, and the firmware page was showing my versions.

For this reason, the K3 Utility should not be used with LP-Bridge. Mommy always told me to read the manual first. :) That said, my previous posts on using K3Util with LP-Bridge are incorrect. -- __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Elecraft] K3 Utility and LP-Bridge - Correction
Thanks Larry, By the way, since I already had a Presonus Firebox, I am using it for the interface to the LP-PAN. I did find a mod (100K resistor), while poking around the unit, that lowers the spur about 20db. If you or anyone else has interest, I will try to find the picture I took and give details. The spur is still visible with pre-off and att-on, but with pre-on and att-off, it is below the noise. That said, I haven't recorded into the Firebox, so I don't know if the mod had any negative effect on the audio input. My guess would be no. 73, Bob -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/K3-Utility-and-LP-Bridge-Correction-tp4598240p4600893.html Sent from the [K3] mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
