Matt, Many thanks! You have provided a great reason (and a rosetta stone) for me to start exploring the command structure. Looks like fun.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 won't stop scanning-- help!
I read through the two macros on the page. In the PKT macro, you turn off the speech processor, audio effects, and turn *on* DATA A. Wouldn't turning DATA A *on* negate the need to turn of the speech processor and audio effects? There may be other settings that are turned off by going into DATA mode, but I cannot remember them off the top of my head. I don't often use the built in macros except for one thing on my K3 so maybe I'm missing something there. 73, Joel - W4JBB On 5/11/14, 1:39 AM, Matt VK2RQ wrote: I had some enquiries about the macros I am using to switch between packet and SSB mode, so I did a brief writeup on my webpage: http://www.vk2rq.ampr.org/macros.html 73, Matt VK2RQ __ 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] KX3 won't stop scanning-- help!
Supposedly the DATA-A mode should automatically disable some of those settings, but in early versions of the firmware, this didn't seem to work properly. I haven't revisited this behaviour with the more recent firmware, so it may well be that those settings are now being properly disabled in the DATA-A mode, and that the corresponding commands in my macros have become redundant. 73, Matt VK2RQ On 11 May 2014, at 10:34 pm, Joel Black w4...@charter.net wrote: I read through the two macros on the page.

[Elecraft] KX3 won't stop scanning-- help!
Hello out there! My husband Larry's KX3 has gotten stuck scanning on all bands when in any mode except Data A for PSK. He never intentionally started a scan - not sure how this happened. Howard at Elecraft suggested reinstalling the original factory config file, which I did, but it did not help. The manual says to press any button to stop scanning, but no luck. Ideas, anybody? Larry would like to try using RTTY but cannot until we get this scan thing to stop.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 won't stop scanning-- help!
Julie, Did you do a Parameter Initialization (EEINIT) before loading the factory config file? If not, try it. You will have to reload the factory config file afterwards. 73, Don W3FPR On 5/10/2014 2:57 PM, Julie Royster wrote: Hello out there!

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 won't stop scanning-- help!
Does it stop scanning if you disconnect everything from the microphone socket? If so, make sure that the MIC BTN menu item is set to PTT or OFF. 73, Matt VK2RQ On 11 May 2014, at 5:14 am, Don Wilhelm w3...@embarqmail.com wrote: Julie, Did you do a Parameter Initialization (EEINIT) before loading the factory config file?
