Re: [Elecraft] Scanning
No. Scanning proceeds from the VFO A frequency to the VFO B frequency, and is actually implemented only on the main receiver. This applies to the K3/K3S/KX2/KX3. The K4 will likely have additional scanning options, e.g. scanning separately on the two receivers.

[Elecraft] Scanning with K3
Howdy K3' people: I was sittin' here, doing something else, and wanted to scan 10.120 down to 10.101 for CQ'ing on CW .. and then I'd call them. So I set one freq in memory 99 and the other in mem 98; pressed A->B; the other mem back into A, then 'Scan". I got the scan but it stopped at the bottom and never restarted.

Re: [Elecraft] Scanning and channel hopping question...
> "Scanning while muted (normal scanning mode) > allows the K3 to ignore stable carriers, unmuting > only when "interesting" signals are found." If the signal appears to be an unmodulated carrier, i.e. with little amplitude variation over a period of about 1 second, then it is skipped. Noise can fool the algorithm sometimes, of course.

[Elecraft] Scanning and channel hopping question...
Hi All, I've been gathering information on the scanning feature of the KX3 (not an owner..yet - VERY tempting). I have the basics - VFO scan, channel hopping, live scan, muted scan, the rules for channel hopping. I found this: "Scanning while muted (normal scanning mode) allows the K3 to ignore stable carriers, unmuting only when "interesting" signals are found." ...from the K3 manual - which appears to be a close DSP cousin to the KX3, and I've also found some scattered bits about the KX3 that refers to stopping when a "modulated signal" is found. So, what exactly triggers a stop scan? It seems to be a bit more sophisticated then just an S meter threshold - maybe using the AFV measurement?. Is the scan signal detection done after signal processing like noise blanking, noise reduction, notch, etc? That would make it REALLY good at scanning HF ! After scan stops on a signal, does it pause until the signal stops, or does it continue after some fixed time? What is the scan (hopping) rate. I see that in VFO scan you can make it effectively slow or fast by changing the increment step - , but in channel hop, the "increment" is one hop - just not clear on the hops per second. And finallyhow does the scanning stop/resume sequence work? When a signal is detected, the scanning pauses for some interval, then resumes when the signal stops? Or after a time interval if the signal is still there it continues scanning until it hits the active channel again? I know these are very narrow questions about a radio that has a LOT of capabilities, and maybe I'm the only guy that wants to know thisbut at least if I ask it here, then the one other person that may be looking will find it here;) I've used (channel) scanning on HF quite a bit. Very useful now that VFOs are rock solid and tune in milliseconds. Thanks to all on the site for LOTS of other very useful questions/answers/ideas.

[Elecraft] Scanning with the KX3
I think that a step is missing from the manual. To Scan one must first do what the manual describes. Once you have held the SCAN button the display shows your VFO A and VFO B settings, to start scanning you must hold the SCAN button once more. From this point, the manual picks up again with the choices AF ON or not. To resume scanning you hold SCAN again.

[Elecraft] Scanning / Channel Hopping
A few questions about scanning... I would like to be able to scan and channel hop frequencies & segments that span several bands. It seems this is not allowed by the K3 using just the buttons, but is it possible to do this via programming a macro using /MC/? If so what is the optimal way to do it? Also, what effects the determination of what is defined as "interesting" to the K3 when scanning muted and is it possible to adjust this determination.

Re: [Elecraft] scanning
I find that using M1-M4 as band segment memories works quite well for me... I'll use M1 as a CW band segment, M2 as an SSB band segment, M3 as a data modes segment... Then I can quickly recall them and start scanning that segment. They also make for a quick way to get where I want to be... Say I'm on 20 SSB and want to get to 40 CW...

[Elecraft] scanning with the K2
When scanning cw or ssb, when the scan encounters a signal is it up to the operator to tune in the ssb signal when the scan pauses? Can it be programmed to stop the scan exactly on a readable ssb signal? 73 john-n3drk ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] SCANning
On the K2, is it possible to SCAN without filling a memory? It's neat being able to hold RCL and hold 4 to scan 40m or whatever, but on occasions when I've wanted to scan a different section of a band, it seems a shame to fill a memory, especially when there's only 10 of them :-) If we're still sending suggestions from the peanut gallery... -- "Nosey" Nick Waterman, G7RZQ, K2 #5209. use Std::Disclaimer;[EMAIL PROTECTED] Intolerance is the last defence of the insecure. ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Maybe that's the mode you are using? AHA! The manual didn't spell it out enough for rtfm-impaired me, but that's just what was going on. D'oh! Thanks to all! LL/K3ESE __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

-Original Message- When I'm using my scan function on 40M, it just scans past stations that are S8-9, and keeps going.

Re: [Elecraft] Scanning
Kevin, You've discovered a bug in the firmware that I fixed in the most recent version (2.04P). This version has been shipping for several months. Full details can be found on our web page. 73, Wayne N6KR On Jun 10, 2004, at 9:15 PM, Kevin Rock wrote: I was going to set my K2 up to scan again when I noticed the scan resume feature notes on page 97.

[Elecraft] Scanning
I was going to set my K2 up to scan again when I noticed the scan resume feature notes on page 97. It states: "The frequency will jump up 0.5 kHz to avoid having scan re-lock on the same frequency." How do I get mine to do this? I've never had it jump 0.5 kHz. Is there something I am missing in the scan setup procedure? It scans just fine and then when I hit PF2 it starts at the very same frequency. I normally restart the scan by turning the tuning knob if the thousands place decimal point is blinking. Otherwise I start the scan again and manually tune upward to avoid relocking. How do I get it to work like in the manual? That would be convenient. Kevin.
