Re: [Elecraft] [P3] VFO B tracking mode feature?
Carl, You are right. You can do it yourself though if you have a subrx. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Elecraft_K3/files/KRX3_IF_Out/ Works just fine. At one time, I fooled around with duplicating the K3 JFET output circuitry present in the main RX. The use of the Clifton Labs buffer/isolation preamp is a better solution. 73 de Brian/K3KO On 12/3/2012 21:00, Carl Clawson wrote: This is something that does not appear to exist. I would prefer an option to have the P3 track VFO B on the K3 instead of VFO A. There is a good use for this in SO2V (single operator, two VFO) operating, where your VFO A neighborhood is (usually) boring but VFO B can be interesting. 73 and thanks for listening, Carl WS7L K3 #486 - No virus found in this message.

[Elecraft] P3 VFO B Tracking
All Not really been keeping up on the reflector, just acquired a P3 but cannot find any way of tracking VFO B For my use this is paramount, I assumed this could be done with the P3, am I wrong? If I'm wrong could this be put in the next firmware update please? Everything else on the P3 is as expected and very good.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 VFO B Tracking
Maybe a better explanation would help :- OK here's the senario. VFO A Main run VFO on say RTTY contest, want to tune to find multi's with VFO B but using a narrow display width on the P3 (ie 25khz), VFO B is out of the display very quickly. Now if you could track the frequency of VFO B on the panadapter I could see upto 200khz (+ or - 100khz of VFO A) with VFO B. So in essence I know the P3 takes the IF from VFO A but at 200khz bandwidth you could track at a high resolution (narrow frequency, say + or - 12khz) of the VFO B frequency if it allowed us to track with the VFO B frequency. For me this would be very useful on single op and Big nob Little nob operation (2 operators) as my whole system is set up for the sub VFO to be the multi chaser and the main VFO for running. So can this be done or is it a please mr elecraft add this function to the P3? This comming weekend is BARTG RTTY and I'd love to use it this way ???

Re: [Elecraft] P3 VFO B Tracking
Brian I've played with a softrock and rocky but it never really did it for me, maybe i didn't set it up correctly? It never seems very sensitive to me even with the IF out mod on the k3, Are you using a preamp / filter on the softrock? Anyway the idea of the P3 was a good one, just hope they can add this feature in future release. Jim Date: Mon, 17 Jan 2011 14:02:21 + From: als...@nc.rr.com To: makid...@hotmail.co.uk Subject: Re: [Elecraft] P3 VFO B Tracking Jim, Maybe the P3 is the wrong tool (for now). I use ROCKY (free)/SDR on the subrx as a pan adapter. The RTTY segments are not that wide anyhow you need at most 50 KHz. The display width is readily and infinitely variable. There also is no baseline jumping or peak/averaging which has to be fooled with. KISS. Actually it is KICS for keep it cheap and simple. It is easy to recognize RTTY signals and also gaps where one can CQ. The real problem is in using the K3, i.e. switching of TX between A/B/SPLIT/UNSPLIT without messing up. One would almost have to use A/B but that would would put the subrx and panadapter on the old A frequency. 73 de Brian/K3KO On 1/17/2011 12:04, James Balls wrote: Maybe a better explanation would help :- OK here's the senario.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 VFO B Tracking
Jim, I am not sure what you mean by track. The P3 will show the VFO B frequency with the magenta cursor. See Using Cursors in the P3 manual. If you mean -- display the output of the subRX, that is not possible without a mod to the SubRX - there is no IF output from the sub. 73, Don W3FPR On 1/17/2011 1:44 AM, Jim Balls wrote: All Not really been keeping up on the reflector, just acquired a P3 but cannot find any way of tracking VFO B For my use this is paramount, I assumed this could be done with the P3, am I wrong?
