Re: [Elecraft] Auto Information mode
Hi A little trivia: The AI mode in the Elecraft radios is far from complete. Only a small subset of commands are available. On Yaesu radios, everything done on the radios is supported with AI and you see orders of magnitude faster performance. In fact it is so fast that you need to implement handshaking on the serial ports to prevent slower computers from buffering the incoming commands. On a Hexa Core I7-9800 CPU usage can hit 30% as it keeps up with all of the commands coming in when you turn the VFO dial rapidly. The resting CPU usage is 1% since no polling is occurring. The AI command is great especially since most of the traffic is usually just the s meter. So very good meter performance. 73 Tom va2fsq.com -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf Of Andy Durbin Sent: May 26, 2020 11:16 AM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] Auto Information mode Many Kenwood and Elecraft transceivers support Auto Information mode. When enabled, AI mode causes the transceiver to output state changes as soon as they happen rather than waiting to respond to the next periodic poll. AI mode has the potential to allow an application or external controller to react much faster to state changes than periodic polling. Has Elecraft ever considered implementing AI mode in the KAT500, KPA500, or KPA1500? It could allow external applications or controllers to "close the loop" almost as fast as Aux bus which is only available if an Elecraft transceiver is being used. 73, Andy, k3wyc __ 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 Message delivered to elecraft.l...@videotron.ca -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus __ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

Re: [Elecraft] Auto Information mode
I should have clarified: the K4 will exhibit 100% AI ("auto-info") control and
far faster update speeds.

Re: [Elecraft] Auto Information mode
That's great.
Makes quite a difference.

Re: [Elecraft] Auto Information mode
You'll also get fast dB/bin data for external spectrum presentation, and
streaming I/Q samples for external demodulation, etc.

Re: [Elecraft] Auto Information mode
Hi
I've seen parts of the programming interface and it looks quite good. I
think the K4 is posed to be one of the leading transceivers on the market
with its open, and well documented and supported programming interface.
Bring it on!
