Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Power On Function and Firmware 1.61
Personally, it is a small price-to-pay for not accidently running down my internal batteries when carrying the packed radio. You can even choose which two fingers you want to use too. 73, Charlie k3ICH - Original Message - From: hessls hes...@yahoo.com To: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Wednesday, October 23, 2013 12:01 PM Subject: [Elecraft] KX3 Power On Function and Firmware 1.61 I use my KX3 only in a fixed environment.The need to push two buttons for Power On can be rather clumsy.Can see need in portable op but is there a work around for just one button Power On operation?

Cheers..Larry If you don't mind a little bit of external hardware connected between the Mic, and radio, you can power up a KX3 by applying a +ve voltage to the Mic PTT line. From page 28 in the user manual Quote Remote Power On/Off To turn the KX3 on, a remote-control system can place 8 to 12 volts DC on the mic jack´s PTT line for 100 ms or longer. (The ACC2 jack´s PTT IN pin function cannot be used for power-on control. Use only the MIC PTT line.) UnQuote To power it down, you still need to press the two buttons, or send it the remote command 'PS0:' on the serial remote control port. But see the note about letting it shutdown, before turning off the power supply feeding the rig. (Not a problem if batteries are fitted I think.) 73 Dave G0WBX. __ 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
