[Elecraft] P3: Feature request
Hi there Elecraft programmers, Feature request here... Would it be possible to add a user controllable switch in the P3 setup for the Transmit monitor, which allows the numeric SWR and POWER reading to be held, as opposed to being removed at termination of transmit? Thanks for considering -- 73s and thanks, Dave NK7Z https://www.nk7z.net __ 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
[Elecraft] P3 Feature Request
P3 feature request: I'd like to be able to connect both a mouse and keyboard and use the mouse for click to tune operation, drag and zoom, drag and unzoom.etc.. I'm currently using $50 setup that requires a computer. If the P3 had mouse features I'd strongly consider and probably buy it instead. Thanks in advance. jer Jerry Moore CDXA, INDEXA, SKCC, Fists AE4PB, K3S - S.N. 010324 http://www.qrz.com/db/AE4PB An Amateur is - Considerate, Loyal, Progressive, Friendly, Balanced, and Patriotic. __ 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] P3 feature request
That's actually pretty much what I have used CW Skimmer for in several contests. I feed the audio from my K3 into my computer sound card, and I use CW Skimmer in Audio Mode (essentially single single frequency audio bandwidth) without the decoding feature enabled. In other words, I use CW Skimmer purely for it's excellent waterfall (sharpest and clearest I've seen amongst similar software) that scrolls from right to left so that the display can be visibly decoded by eye in the proper orientation (reading left to right). I even wrote a couple of AutoHotKey macros to have CW Skimmer pause/unpause the display when I realize I've missed a character. Even without the pause macro I can fit about twelve seconds worth of readable history on my 22 inch display. It took a bit of recalibration to learn how to decode by eye and I don't have to use it often, but at times it comes in very handy to avoid repeat requests. 73, Dave AB7E On 12/10/2014 10:28 PM, Vic Rosenthal wrote: If we are in the realm of science fiction, here is what I want (after my flying car): Ever miss a letter in a call or aren't sure if a DX station came back to you?

[Elecraft] P3 feature request
Asking for new features seems to have become common, you'd think Wayne was Santa Claus and the employees were his elves. I'd like to weigh in with one for me ... I've gotten a bit active in NTS, I even agreed to NCS one night a week. I was very active in NTS in the mid-50's as a teenager. My P3 is really cool for picking working frequencies up and down. However, I'm having a problem remembering where I send who for what. I'd like a feature that would put a tag with a call sign on the signal when I send someone up or down for traffic. This shouldn't be too hard. ;-)) I'm willing to type the call, although picking it out of my Notepad notes would be icing on the cake. I'll leave cookies, milk, and a Corona out Christmas Eve, take your pick. 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 50th Running of the Cal QSO Party 3-4 Oct 2015 - www.cqp.org __ 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] P3 feature request
This is exactly the effect you get with cocoModem on PSK. Click on the waterfall and everything from then to now is decoded, possibly again. With two decoding windows (like VFOs), I generally tune around with both but use both to decode while making a QSO. The slightly different decoding frequencies (1-2 Hz at most) give complimentary results. I would love to have this feature in any system with a waterfall. 73 Bill AE6JV On 12/11/14 at 9:28 PM, k2vco@gmail.com (Vic Rosenthal) wrote: Ever miss a letter in a call or aren't sure if a DX station came back to you?

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Feature Request?
Fairly obvious that an external sensor will be needed, probably the same (or similar) sensors to what is used for the W2 wattmeter. Also, since there is no current corresponding input on the P3, an option board will be required for that. (Strictly speculation on my part, but fairly obvious to me) Availability and pricing TBD. 73, Bruce N1RX Obviously, the sensor would have to be purchased.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Feature Request - Transmit sampling
This moving to OT but interesting to a long-term JT65 user like me. JT65 was designed for weak-signal communication, so the situations on HF where strong signals are received might be a problem. I would like to hear what Joe Taylor (K1JT) would say regarding this. I have not used JT9 or many of the variants of JT65; no use of it on HF. So have no experience with strong JT signals. On eme a strong signal is -15 or higher. You may be correct about JT9 coding. With the K3 or KX3 the important point is to set up modulation the proper way using the ALC meter (four dashes with the fifth flickering). I really like the way Elecraft makes it simple to set up digital mode levels correctly and easily. Previous use of JT44 and then JT65 was with a FT-847 and one had to just find the point where level started compression and back of a tad. The DATA jack on the FT-847 was nice since Rx audio was low-level at constant amplitude and modulation was separated from the mic. But I think one still had to adjust mic gain and turn off mic compression for data modes (Not a preset mode like on Elecraft radios). 73, Ed - KL7UW --- From: Sverre Holm (LA3ZA) la...@nrrl.no To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] P3 Feature Request - Transmit sampling Message-ID: 1380125612061-7579228.p...@n2.nabble.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii As your post indicates, the splattering of JT65 signals has most likely nothing to do with your transmitter and setup.

[Elecraft] P3 Feature Request - Transmit sampling
If this feature is offered in the near future, it would be nice if the following features were incorporated into the making the P3 a very useful station tool. 1. Since the Dynamic range is rather limited on the P3, the ability or feature to allow 1 or 2 crystal notch filters to be inserted inline would be a nice feature. This would allow the dynamic range of the P3 to be increased to something well over 100db with the main TX signal notched. We would only a need a low frequency, mid and high frequency notches for dummy load testing. 2. The ability to define a IMD mask would be a nice feature. Rather than trying to squint at peak makers it would be much easier to set a fail alarm mask that alerts the operator to the fact that his or her's knobs to the right habit is causing problems up the band. 3. Multiple peak markers and a rifle scope type cross hair makers for making accurate and fast level measurements. Pre-set bounce peak level markers every 5 khz would be a nice feature. 4. Have multiple traces such as peak hold, quasi peak, average power, average power in a 2.4khz bandwidth, and peak power in a 2.4khz bandwidth These kinds of measurements would reflect the level of interference as seen on the typical S_meter rather than being a narrow resolution bandwidth measurement. 5. If you are doing transmitter sampling you might as well go all the way and offer the ability to use any directional coupler with the P3 with appropriate calibration routines. Similar to the http://www.meterbuilder.com/ meter. 6. Support software for the G4HFQ polar plotting software. http://www.g4hfq.co.uk/plphelp/plphelp.htm 7. While they at it a white noise generator plus a 2 tone or multitone generator can also be a option for TX testing. 8. Define a set bandwidth such as 20khz for TX monitoring that can be stored to one of the P3's function keys ALT would switch the waterfall display to the 20khz bandwidth and the averaging on the waterfall should indicate IMD level peaks averaged in a 2.4khz bandwidth. Its a complicated matter turning the P3 into a spectrum analyzer/station monitor once you start thinking about it from the perspective of a test engineer. It might be easier to do this on a DDC/DUC platform! That should round the P3 off very nicely if all these features are achievable. Only the firmware guru's will know if these features are possible.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Feature Request - Transmit sampling
That clears up something that has bothered me on JT65. Many times someone will complain about someone overdriving, but the signal appeared to be OK to me. It happens frequently. Now I think the complainer is probably receiving the station much more strongly than I am and it is overdriving his JT65 software. The signal is weaker for me and my software is not being overdriven. The transmitted signal is indeed clean. Thanks for the insight.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Feature Request - Transmit sampling
Well nothing would put the issue to bed better than a nice printout of a P3 screen that was sampling the RF signal over a bandwidth of about 6KHz. That's why I would LOVE for Elecraft to continue developing the P3 and expanding its capability. I don't mind the report, and I take it seriously, but I'd rather be able to prove to myself that I'm clean rather than have a buddy stay up late at night to run tests on my behalf. And the other thing, of course, is the assumption that the decoding algorithm is perfect and doesn't make mistakes, nor that a 6 KHz wide bandwidth can be decoded with no artifacts on a Flex-3K -- these seem to be suspect to me as well. With so many accusations of bad modulation on what is essentially a weak signal mode during a sun-spot maximum, being able to be 100% sure you are clean seems like a very worthwhile goal. I continue to run 5 watts and enjoy JT65, JT9 and PSK31 very much. 73, Bob, WB4SON On Wed, Sep 25, 2013 at 12:19 PM, Rick Bates happymooseph...@gmail.comwrote: If your neighbor tells you it's clean (and s/he knows how to look) then it's likely the other station at fault.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Feature Request - Transmit sampling
Yep, that is 100% correct. If the station that is offended would simply reduce their RF gain control, in most cases they will see the signal clean right up. Then the real issue is that they want to copy a weak signal that is in a chunk of spectrum that is full of strong signals (most likely due to excellent propagation). Somehow they think it is their right to complain to folks to lower their power. Imagine doing that in a contest!! (Hey Mr Strong station, I can work that weak guy 100 Hz away from you. Would you please lower your power? -- not that we might not wish it, but we would never say it over the air) So I try to avoid the flak by running 5 watts and making sure my signal is clean. A P3 that RF sampled would take care of the second part. But even 5 watts can be too much -- I worked Australia on 30 meters with 0.5 watts and received a signal report of -10. That wasn't me, that was all propagation. 73, Bob, WB4SON __ 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] P3 Feature Request - Transmit sampling
My normal technique with sound card modes (mostly PSK31) is to look at the audio AtoD overload indicator in my software and reduce the RF gain so it indicates no overload. This procedure uses the minimum necessary gain through most of the radio/AtoD etc, limiting local distortion products. It works very well. Most of the time I still see band noise on the waterfall, so I'm not missing any weak signals. Sometimes the band noise goes away and I wish I had better dynamic range.

[Elecraft] P3 Feature Request - Transmit sampling
So I've been loving my P3 for about 2 years now, and I keep looking at that lonely sensor window in the back, dreaming and wishing Yesterday I received an email from a ham a few thousand miles away asking me to clean up my signal -- I was running JT65 at the time, and he saw my signal decode on his rig in a half-dozen spots across the waterfall. I panicked, of course, and immediately checked everything -- Line Level was four bars steady with an occasional fifth bar flickering, transmit power was 5.0 watts, monitor was sounding perfectly fine, and my handheld receiver was sounding OK too. Later that night a nearby ham was nice enough to run a spectral analysis on my signal and found it looked clean as well. Imagine how easy it would be for me to verify my outbound signal quality if my P3 had an outboard RF sampling tap that communicated via IR back to the P3 and allows the outbound RF to be displayed. One can dream and wish. 73, Bob, WB4SON __ 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] P3 Feature Request - Transmit sampling
I don't have a P3, so my curiosity is only academic. The sampling function being referred to, would bring a low power sample of transmit power to the P3? This does not seem very difficult to roll your own sampler. I gather the P3 has the needed RF ckts to receive RF and demod it, or is that also needed? I use LP-Pan with my K3. The LP-Pan only works in Rx so not really usable for analyzing the K3's own transmissions. It will work to look at the KX3, of course. AFAIK the K3 will not work in duplex mode. I also have a SDR-IQ, which makes a superb spectrum analyzer for freq. up to 30-MHz. The SDR-IQ only needs a small antenna to sniff enough RF to display the spectrum as wide as 190-KHz or down to KHz if looking for IMD. The SDR-IQ can be used as IF Rx for transverters to extend usable frequency higher. I recently used it to analyze Sun noise performance of my dish on 1296-MHz and to measure insertion loss for some coax relays. Not usual for most ham stations, I also have a surplus HP141T with plug-ins for 0-1250 MHz and up to 26 GHz. 73, Ed - KL7UW http://www.kl7uw.com dubus...@gmail.com Kits made by KL7UW __ 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] P3 Feature Request - Transmit sampling
Hi Tom, It's become very difficult to locate an SM-230 monitor in the used market and even when you do, they are asking an arm and a leg. I've got a pretty clean one, but I can't find anyone who seems to be able to service the unit. As you state It does do a pretty good job though for monitoring one's transmitted signal and could be an alternative if supply were not the issue. Maybe someone will come up with a simple adjunct 3rd party coupler that can sample the output as well as provide a visual via software, cheaply.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Feature Request - Transmit sampling
It's become very difficult to locate an SM-230 monitor in the used market and even when you do, they are asking an arm and a leg. I've got a pretty clean one, but I can't find anyone who seems to be able to service the unit. A basic transmit monitor (amplitude domain) is extremely easy to make given an audio scope, gimmick capacitor (a couple turns of wire around the coax), and a small signal diode. I suspect such a device could be done for a buck using a sound card and off the shelf (free) audio scope software. If you're looking for a spectrum analyzer (frequency domain) that's another issue entirely as that requires some form of frequency tracking (local oscillator/mixer) and SDR software. However, since the receiver does not need to be particularly sensitive, one could probably use one of the very inexpensive SDR devices on the market these days as the core of any spectrum monitor. I *hope* that whatever solution Elecraft choose for a potential P3 sensor option it *does not require the SVGA option*. To me the SVGA is redundant (I don't need another display, text decode or another dedicated keyboard) and I would be very disappointed to see that cost be a requirement for either an amplitude or spectrum scope. 73, ...

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Feature Request - Transmit sampling
Resolution would be the same as on received signals - frequency resolution of span/450 and amplitude range 10 - 80 dB. One gotcha is that the P3 only handles IF's up to 21.7 MHz so presumably there would need to be some hardware to allow up to 54 MHz. I'm also looking forward to a transmit monitoring feature. I hope it will allow viewing the transmitted signal in the time domain, like the traditional old tech monitors, as well as frequency domain.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Feature Request - Transmit sampling
Mel, Not a 'glitch'. That is a hardware artifact. The transmit signal you see is going through the 8 MHz IF which is being sampled by the P3. So yes, you see your transmitted signal, but before it gets to the mixer and on-frequency RF stages. It should still be useful for seeing that your audio levels and the modulation is OK, but it will not show you if the final RF output is still OK. If all is working OK in the K3 (RF wise), then that is a good indication, but should the RF stages go non-linear (or other condition) because of some fault, that will not be seen on the P3. 73, Don W3FPR On 9/24/2013 3:49 PM, Mel Farrer wrote: I would like to state a glitch that happens once in a great while on my P3.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Feature Request
I usually do not like me too posts, but: I *_really_* like the idea of showing a high contrast line on the P3 with the absolute frequency the K3 will transmit on. No exceptions, it must include split, QSK, XIT, CW, SSB, REV, etc. This line could have menu options to be suppressed if the VOX is off or if the operator really does not want the feature. I believe the existing displays on the K3 or on the P3 are could be improved toward idiot proof for split and me. The feature could go a long way toward reducing inadvertent lid transmissions. Of course you and I never have that problem!

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Feature Request
Hi Alan, If it came to a vote, I would suggest the use of a full height vertical line to indicate one's transmitter frequency on any panadapter's spectrum display, because it is much easier to see than a cursor or a marker or a couple of little arrows, especially at 3 am. Also when using a full height vertical line, it becomes easy to set one's Tx carrier frequency into the 'right hole' during a pileup. I would suggest that if you do use a full height vertical line, it dhould be placed behind the panadapter's spectrum display. Of course,whether one's Tx frequency is set by VFO B or XIT, or by any other means, this should not affect the panadapter's indication of one's Tx frequency. If you could colour a vertical line red that would be a bonus. 73, Geoff GM4ESD On March 14, 2011, at 16:32Z, Alan Bloom wrote: I agree that XIT is probably used much less often than VFO B to control the transmit frequency.

This would provide an additional reminder that you are running split and allow you to easily see exactly where VFO B was just by watching the P3.

[Elecraft] P3 Feature Request
Hi All - Perhaps this was mentioned before and I missed it.but I would like to see a marker that would act as a marker when using XIT. When a DX station is working up, for example, I would like to see the pile-up and place my transmit frequency based on what I see on the P3. If I have good propagation to a station, then I may want to put the XIT marker on the last station worked. If some other part of the country or world has better propagation, then I might like to be able to find a hole in the pile-up. Being able to have the marker follow the XIT would be useful. 73 de Greg-N4CC __ 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

[Elecraft] P3 Feature Request
I'm finding it quite useful to switch between peak hold mode and averaging mode, but the gain setting for the two modes differ by at least 10 dB. The gain setting also varies widely from one antenna to another, and from one band to another. I'd like a function that allows me to store a gain OFFSET between peak and averaging modes -- that is, so that the gain is automatically reduced by a certain amount when I switch to peak hold mode. While it might also be nice to have the P3 remember and automatically recall gain settings per band, my experience so far suggests that there is far too much variation from hour to hour, and from antenna to antenna, for this to be as useful as it might appear. 73, Jim Brown K9YC __ 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] P3 Feature Request
It isn't really a gain issue -- it's an issue between peak signal levels and average levels. Depending on signals, noise and band conditions, that delta could also be quite variable.

Alan and others, Thanks for the quick input and suggestions. Alan, I've played with the QSY function quite a few times since reading your reply. And it seems your software is working properly. I haven't had a problem when tapping the knob firmly to QSY. Thanks for adding that into 032. I loaded the latest version as soon as I received my P3, so I'm not quite sure how I had ended up moving the frequency slightly as I was tapping the knob.
