[Elecraft] Use a keyboard with KX3 to send PSK and CW?

2014-07-18 Thread vtnn43e


Is it possible to use a keyboard in a standalone configuration to send PSK and 
CW with a KX3? I am considering getting a KX3 and would really like to use it 
portable without bringing a PC or needing any other external devices. In 
looking at the manual (page 28) it seems as if you can only use a keyboard if 
you have the rig hooked up to a PC.

There is no provision for connecting a keyboard directly to the KX3. An
external device, i.e. netbook, NUE-PSK modem, etc would be needed to do what
you are asking.

Zack,

The KX3 cannot natively connect a keyboard, but you might want to look 
at the K1EL K42 for CW (not PSK).

The AMQRP NUE-PSK Digital Modem will do the same for PSK or CW.

There may be other products that perform a similar function, but these 
are 2 that I am aware of.

Of course, a PC will do that task easily as well.

And there is also the Ham Central Terminal.  It communicates with the  
KX3 via the ACC1 (RS-232) port on the rig and mirrors the received  
data (CW, PSK31 or RTTY) that is decoded by the KX3.  Internally, the  
HCT will save the most recent 80 characters decoded, and permit you to  
scroll backward to pick up something you may have missed.  It also has  
internal logging capability, as well as additional message memories  
and macros.


The NUE-PSK modem will permit you to save a raw snapshot of all  
decoded data on a USB thumb drive as a text file.  But it does not do  
logging.  It does have message memories.


I have both devices, and each works quite well.  They both use a  
standard PS2 keyboard, which is available in compact versions,  
suitable for portable/field operation.  And each device is very low  
power, and can operate over a range of voltages, via external  
sources.  The HCT will also run via an internal standard 9 V battery.

2014-07-18 Thread Steve Silverman
Hello

The QRPWorks  Ham Central Terminal  and Key Log Go devices support a
keyboard for CW, PSK, and RTTY.  Plus the 80 character LCD shows the
decoded text in all three modes.  These devices also include a logging
capability with ADIF export.  They run on an internal 9 volt battery or
external DC.  There are also stored messages and KX3 Macros to quickly
reconfigure the rig.

Looks like a great app, just wish there was an iPad version.

The Elecraft PX3 pandapter also has a keyboard connector. We have a bit more 
firmware to write to complete text display and keyboard support.

Wayne, do you anticipate being able to decode/encode any other modes with
the PX3/keyboard?  JT65 seems to be getting very popular (with myself
included).  Any hope for the future?

This is unlikely as a KX3 built-in mode, but when I get a chance I'll read up 
on the JT65 demodulation process.
