Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Missed QSOs with N1MM and KUSB
My K3 with N1MM does not do anything erratic like this. This is not a software issue. Something is wrong in the configuration of this system - perhaps the USB to RS232 port is defective or the parameters are incorrect. 73, Bob W5OV -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Julian, G4ILO Sent: Wednesday, March 04, 2009 3:08 AM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Missed QSOs with N1MM and KUSB Ignacy wrote: > > When the frequency is changed in N1MM by 500 Hz or so, the callsign in the > input windows is wiped clean. > So if the frequency of K3 was changed by 10 KHz but the update in N1MM was > by 1 Khz/s, anything one typed in one second disappeared the next second. > > That seems like poor software design to me. If it really seems as if the frequency updates are slow to reach the computer, perhaps you are connecting to the K3 at a low baud rate.

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Missed QSOs with N1MM and KUSB
When the frequency is changed in N1MM by 500 Hz or so, the callsign in the input windows is wiped clean. So if the frequency of K3 was changed by 10 KHz but the update in N1MM was by 1 Khz/s, anything one typed in one second disappeared the next second.

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Missed QSOs with N1MM and KUSB
MY K3 is hooked up via my Microham MK2R. I have never seen the radio change frequency by itself. You have to watch that you do not click in either the available window or the band map or you will change frequency. Did the radio really change frequency or did the callsign just disappear?
