Re: [Elecraft] K3S DIGOUT1 question
DIGOUT1 isn't affected by RX ANT, or at least it wasn't when I used it to control an external amp some time ago. But a voltmeter will tell you for sure.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S DIGOUT1 question
Jim, I would think you could create a macro to accomplish this. The commands would be SWT25;BN00; this would turn on the RX ANT, change the band to 160M. You could add additional commands to the string to set more options (like Split up 2 or 5 or whatever floats your boat. The one thing to remember is the SWT25 command toggles the RX ANT on or off; unlike some other commands (like BN00), it does not "set" the position (if you to send the SWT25;BN00; Macro a second time, the band (160M) would stay the same, but the RX ANT would now turn off. Additionally, when you send a band change command (like BN00, BN01, BN02, etc.), you need a 300 ms delay before sending another command in the string. Other than inserting one or two semicolons after the BNxx command, before additional commands, the easiest approach might be to put the BNxx; command last in the string.

[Elecraft] K3S DIGOUT1 question
According to the K3S user manual DIGOUT1 is per band and per antenna. Does this mean that I could assert DIGOUT1 on the basis of 160m and the activation of the RX antenna? 73 jim ab3cv __ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
Re: [Elecraft] K3S DIGOUT1 question
Jim, I don't know about the RX ant (it may be confined to ANT1/ANT2), but give it a try and let us all know the results. 73, Don W3FPR On 1/26/2016 7:22 PM, Jim Miller wrote: According to the K3S user manual DIGOUT1 is per band and per antenna.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S DIGOUT1 question
You are correct in saying you can assert Digout1 on 160M. That said, I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish by tying it to enabling the RX antenna? You can accomplish the same thing by having 160M selected as the band, and then tapping the RX ANT button. That selection is remembered by the K3 (or K3S), and every time you select 160M, the radio will automatically select the RX ANT (which is exactly what I do here). FYI, you can do the same thing for the 6, 10, and 12M preamp; select each band, turn on the preamp (flashing PRE on the display), and from then on, when you select those bands, the pre amp will turn on automatically, Dick, K8ZTT From: Jim Miller <j...@jtmiller.com> To: Elecraft Reflector <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Tuesday, January 26, 2016 5:22 PM Subject: [Elecraft] K3S DIGOUT1 question According to the K3S user manual DIGOUT1 is per band and per antenna.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S DIGOUT1 question
I want an external signal that is only activated when 160 and RX Ant is selected. That will be part of logic that detunes my TX antenna on when receiving so as not to ruin my RX antenna pattern.
