[Elecraft] P3 Cursors

Understood If you are in fixed tune mode, you can easily re-center your VFO A cursor by two consecutive long presses of the SPAN/CENTER button. In Fixed Tune Mode, two consecutive long presses of the SPAN/CENTER button didn't help. Green and Magenta arrows are still at the bottom left of the display If all else fails, a memory reset can be performed by holding down the MENU button while powering up the P3. Note that this will erase an function key settings. I did a memory reset. The green and magenta arrows are still at the bottom left of the display. I reloaded all firmware with the latest versions. The Green and Magenta arrows are still at the bottom left of the display. The P3 seems to be working with the exception of the U and BAR cursors.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 cursors
Guess I don't understand what all the fuss is about. In standard mode, there are two cursors on my P3 - one green and one sort of purplish (I have a partial color blindness, but there is a distinct difference between the two cursors, even for me). Even if you're not operating in SPLIT mode, when you tune the VFO B (the purplish marker) away from the frequency of VFO A, it stands out quite prominently on the P3 display. I operate mostly CW. When a split operation takes place, and I tune somewhere into the piluep I might typically have reduced the SPAN to 20 kHz so there's 10 kHz on each side of the DX operating frequency. As I tune the VFO B (most often it's actually the sub-receiver so I can also hear what's going on in the pileup), you can see an obvious gap between the two cursors. Personally, I enjoy cruising through the pileup, trying to find who the DX is currently working, trying to quickly discern a pattern (if any) of the DX operator. When someone in a cluster spot writes that he worked 'em, it is most often something like QSX 14027.5 as opposed to up 1.375. With the sub-receiver engaged, split engaged and the difference in color between the two cursors, I guess I fail to understand whey there would be a huge need for anything else - at least anything else relating to the P3/K3 functionality that already exists. I think any reasonable operator would only accidentally operate on the DX frequency once or twice before it became a habit to engage SPLIT and then split your xmit frequency. If a given op consistently makes the same mistake of NOT operating split, a bunch of ugly descriptives come to mind!

Re: [Elecraft] P3 cursors
Thanks Joe. I hadn't noticed that. I seldom use RIT/XIT when working split, but I played with that to demonstrate what you're saying. Didn't realize the cursor actually changes color (on VFO B/SubRX) from purplish to red - I just knew it was quite simple to distinguish the diff between where I was listening and where I would be transmitting! My partial color-blindness is referred to as red-green but I have no trouble seeing the obvious green line for the VFO A and the other color for the VFO B. My affliction is revealed by the test of pages with all the colored dots. (Wechsler or something like that.) People with normal vision see numbers - the numbers tend to stand out distinctly among all the colored dots. Those with red-green color-blindness (surprisingly common) can eventually find the numbers, but they don't leap off the page like they do for normal people. Fortunately, stand-alone, distinct colors (like the red and green of a traffic light!) do not cause problems.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 cursors
Hi Stewart, As I am not familiar with the P3, and I do not know how many markers are available, but if several markers are available then your suggestion if followed would remove a lot of mental arithmatic during a DX pileup. I use my Perseus as a panadapter, and it displays the frequency difference (and amplitude difference) between a signal at Marker1 and other signals marked by the other markers, when in delta mode. As just one of several examples. As do many others, I attempt to discern the DX station's listening pattern in a pileup before calling. By placing Marker 1 on the DX's frequency and the other markers on the frequency of each station being worked, the listening pattern in most cases soon becomes clear if the marker deltas are displayed. No mental arithmatic :-) Coupled with Quick Split, a powerful combination, but that's another subject. 73, Geoff LX2AO On May 19, 2012 at 07:52 +0200, Stewart G3RXQ wrote: With a high proportion of operating now involving 'Split' it might remove the mental arithmetic involved, and help to reduce the number of Up Up's ;-) 73 Stewart G3RXQ __ 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

The transmit cursor is present when transmit frequency is different from the main receiver frequency (when the K3 red delta F LED is on) even if one turns off the VFO B cursor. A few months ago, an Elecraft customer asked Alan if a monochrome P3 waterfall option could be included in a FW update. To no fanfare, the option appeared in the menu after the next update. It wasn't discussed on the this list that I know of and I suspect that almost no one knows it's there unless you spend a lot of time studying your P3 menu options. The customer was me. I'm one of the 0.001% of the male population with no color vision [we're all male]. My wife explained that the waterfall background was very dark blue [looked black], and the weak signals were dark blue [looked black I guess, I couldn't see them]. They had to get to S6 or so before I could discern them. In monochrome, I can see super-weak signals I can't hear. I can even discern if it is CW, RTTY, or some digital mode in some cases. Obviously, I miss out on quite a bit of the dazzle of the Tokyo-By-Night radios that light up like the Ginza. Those manufacturers would have done nothing for one customer, of course. More basic, I'd have never found anyone to ask. The P3 cursors are lines for me. In fixed-tune mode, my receive frequency cursor moves with the Big Knob making it really easy to find regardless of color. Depending on where I have the CW BW set, it may also be a little fatter. In split, my TX frequency appears as another line, always higher in frequency and it moves with the VFO B knob. I've never heard the Up Cops sending DOWN. It too is easy to find. Next to the TX LED is a Delta-F LED that comes on if I am not transmitting on my receive frequency ... for any reason whatsoever. Over on the display, there will be a little arrow pointing down to VFO B if I'm split. There are LED's around the RIT knob that light up if it [or XIT] is engaged. While I would take issue with Joe's use of inexcusable as a bit harsh, I can't think of many more things Elecraft could have done to tell me that I'm not transmitting on my receive frequency. And they've managed to do it for a ham who couldn't see any difference when color TV came along in the 50's. Nice going!! I can't see the numerals on the keypad either, but it's not a problem, I know what a key pad looks like. Now, if I can just figure out what the + in the lower right corner of the main display is telling me ... 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 2012 Cal QSO Party 6-7 Oct 2012 - 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

Re: [Elecraft] P3 cursors
Hi Geoff, I seem to have muddied the waters by bringing Split into the cursor delta discussion. Leaving aside changing of cursor colour (colors) and RIT/XIT (which are irrelevant as many SSB splits as they wider than those controls), my original request was for the P3 to show the difference in frequency between the two (2) markers.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 cursors
There is never a reason to turn QRQ off. It improves the sound of the sidetone when QSK is on at any speed, although it doesn't make much difference in the transmitted signals below about 33 wpm. It is automatically off when the K3 can't support it, which is when you are in SPLIT or have RIT or XIT on. The ability to turn it off is a vestige of the initial pre-beta implementation, when it needed to be turned off in order to use SPLIT/XIT/RIT. But Wayne made it automatic, so this is not required. It's possible that he will remove the switch. On 5/19/2012 10:17 AM, Fred Jensen wrote: On 5/19/2012 9:17 AM, Dale Boresz wrote: Hello Fred, That + symbol indicates that QRQ is ON.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 cursors
Yes, the P3 markers are good for measuring the frequency difference between two signals. If as well that difference (delta) could be shown textually on the P3 it would be even better. Can't be that difficult to do.

Keeps me from wandering too far away and getting into other conversations. And, of course, if you set marker A to a signal up the band, and press the knob on the P3, it will QSY to K3 to that frequency. Marker B does the same for VFO B or the SUB.

[Elecraft] P3 cursors
I'm still getting used to my new P3. The original P3 firmware had the baud rate bug, and when I changed to 01.16, all was well (K3 f/w 4.50). I then loaded K3 f/w 4.51 for better AGC - and here's the confusion: Under 4.50, I coulda' sworned that the P3 cursor for VFO B (violet) was only displayed when the SUB rcvr was on (good, avoids clutter), but now (4.51) it is displayed continuously. Am I mistaken? Have I pushed some hidden button?(it's possible) I do find it distracting. Incidentally, it seems that I prefer to leave the P3 in fixed-tune mode. In tracking mode, the VFO B cursor chases itself up and down the band. Unfortunately, I've given my borrowed KE7X book back to its rightful owner, so I have to ask you guys. (OK, OK, I'll get my own copy!) One other thing - what do you guys do with MKRA and MKRB? I can't seem to find a practical use for that feature.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 cursors
Well, the markers are very handy for measuring the difference between two signals on the display. I have also found them handy for marking the boundaries of a range of frequencies, like if a dx station is working 5 to 10 UP, I can mark the range with the markers and then look for the pileup in the range. Keeps me from wandering too far away and getting into other conversations. And, of course, if you set marker A to a signal up the band, and press the knob on the P3, it will QSY to K3 to that frequency. Marker B does the same for VFO B or the SUB. As you get used to the P3, you'll find more and more uses for it. I feel absolutely blind without it now. ...bill nr4c. -Original Message- From: Ralph Parker [mailto:ve...@dccnet.com] Sent: Thursday, May 17, 2012 3:28 PM To: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] P3 cursors I'm still getting used to my new P3.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 cursors
Hi Ralph, The violet VFO B cursor is present whether the sub RX is on or off. As another poster commented you can turn it off with a menu change. And I suppose you could set a FN button up to do it if you prefer. I also prefer fixed tune and rarely use tracking mode. I don't use the markers. When I see a signal I'm interested in I just spin the VFO A or VFO B dial on the K3. But I could see a use if you want to tag a station but not QSY to his frequency just yet. But then again I could spin the VFO B dial to the frequency and then just hit A/B when I want to actually QSY to that frequency. Hey, there's some features on the K3 I never use as well.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 cursors
When you activate the markers, the knob will move them. Let's be sure we're talking apples and apples. The cursor is the wide band that indicates the bandwidth. It is moved with the vfo a/b knob. The markers are accessed by taping or holding the [Marker] button on the right edge of the p3 and adjusting them via the knob on the p3. Once a marker is set, you can QSY to the marker location by pressing the knob, and the cursor/radio dial will now show the new frequency. ...bill nr4c -Original Message- From: hawley, charles j jr [mailto:c-haw...@illinois.edu] Sent: Thursday, May 17, 2012 5:34 PM To: Bill Conkling Cc: Ralph Parker; Elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] P3 cursors Oh...how do you move cursers with out tuning?

[Elecraft] P3 Cursors
Since loading beta version 1.08, I've noticed that the SSB cursors get narrower with the passband shift settings, but won't go to the left of the center line in USB and the same holds true for LSB. I don't remember the U shaped cursors doing this before. The CW cursors will move either side of the center line and not change width with the shift control. The width of the cursor does change as it should with use of the width control in both CW and SSB modes. Is this the way it's supposed to work or is it a bug that I just came across? I haven't seen anything reported on this before, so don't know for sure.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Cursors
I regressed to 1.05 and it still has the same problem. Took it all the way back to 1.00 and the cursors follow the shift and width settings properly. Alan, you might want to look closely at where this went awry between version 1.00 and 1.05 as it was carried over into 1.08 and since I operate more CW than SSB I didn't notice it until working SSB on 6 meters early this afternoon.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Cursors
Since loading beta version 1.08, I've noticed that the SSB cursors get narrower with the passband shift settings, but won't go to the left of the center line in USB and the same holds true for LSB. That is the correct behavior. Adjusting the shift will not move the low frequency (audio) limit below the carrier (e.g. negative). If moving the shift toward lower audio frequencies would move the low frequency audio cutoff below 0 Hz (into the opposite sideband), only the high frequency cutoff will be moved. What you are seeing as narrowing is the movement of the high limit with the low limit frozen at 0 Hz. The CW cursors will move either side of the center line and not change width with the shift control. That's because the cursor represents the actual CW frequency and moving shift will adjust the response +/- the CW pitch. If you expand the CW display, you will notice that the cursor will still not shift more than pitch (e.g. 500 Hz if that is your pitch) to the low audio frequency side of the carrier/cursor as the shift is moved lower in audio tone. 73, ...

Re: [Elecraft] P3 cursors won't go up more then 200 MHz
hi Jim, sorry I've been not clear enough to explain my problem. It is the CENTER frequency I'm talking about not the SPAN. For example: receiving frequency is at 432.418 MHz (German beacon) and P3 has been switched on together with K3. P3 displays the same center frequency as the K3 dial shows. Now you tap 'Marker A' an switch it on. Displayed on P3's screen is 'Marker A 432418'. As soon as you dial the P3 select the P3's display shows 'Marker A 20'. You only can now dial to a frequency BELOW 20, there's no chance dialing mor than 20. If you now try qsying via P3 selct (tap to QSY) the K3 won't follow. It is fixed to K3's frequency.
