What really matters is the RESULT of the Mic Gain and CMP, and we've got that on the display. The setting MON is what's in my ears, so I don't need a readout of that either. I just finished making 924 QSOs in 28 hours of CQWWSSB with a manually tuned amp (Ten Tec Titan) and manual antenna tuners, and lots of band changes. We see the power setting when we adjust it. Since the K3 can remember power settings by band, all I have to do is set them once per band, and occasionally tweak them a bit as I would QSY (from the west coast, you do mostly S&P in any contest that includes DX, no matter how wonderful your station). And I really don't care what the K3 is putting out once I've set it -- I watch the power meter on the output of the amp. And I MUST have a power meter on the output of the amp so that I can tune the amp properly. 73, Jim K9YC __ 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 Yaesu DMU-2000 has a mode that displays all the parameters, though it scrolls to list all of them. You can also change parameters while viewing the parameter display, as I remember. It would be a nice addition. Jim N7US -Original Message- Yes, but I don't believe there ARE any applications that display the parameters, let alone run with LP_Bridge.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 software utility ?
I don't know how many params are available, but I'd be willing to bet that the screen real estate to display them all would be more that a couple of sq. inches Not everything is available for broadcast when the K3 is set to AUTOINF, thus the need to poll the K3 as Don pointed out.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 software utility ?
Barry, I don't believe there is anything out there that only displays the parameters. Most applications that display the parameters also allow them to be changed - making the changes is the minor part of the program's work. You could just run the application and look at the display - there is no need to make changes from the keyboard, you can also make changes from the radio. I believe you are asking for a less computer intense application, but polling the radio and doing the display is a much more intense task than performing commands entered through the keyboard and mouse. One can issue commands through a dumb terminal, but the graphical representation of the responses from the radio is the bulk of the task. 73, Don W3FPR On 10/30/2010 8:11 PM, Barry N1EU wrote: > Not sure folks are "getting" what I'm talking about.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 software utility ?
All I'm talking about is a simply virtual display applet - a few square inches of area on the PC monitor to show operating parameters without having to push a bunch of buttons (like in the middle of a contest). HRD is a huge application and as far as I can tell it won't run off LP_Bridge, won't show subrx parameters or MIC/CMP (I could be wrong). K3_EZ never ran off LP_Bridge unless something changed. During a contest, I like to look down and confidently know my mic gain/compression and tx power along with my rx width and shift. I also like to know my subrx settings without resorting to BSET. It seems like this simple augmented display would have wide appeal - might also sell more K3's since other than the Orion, none of the competing rigs have a full display offering either. 73, Barry N1EU On Sat, Oct 30, 2010 at 10:40 PM, Dick Dievendorff wrote: > I think Ham Radio Deluxe does this, > > http://www.ham-radio-deluxe.com/ > > and there's an application called K3_EZ that may also be of interest to you. > > http://home.roadrunner.com/~n2bc/SW.htm > > There may be others, but these are the ones I'm aware of. > > 73 de Dick, K6KR > > > -Original Message- > From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net > [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Barry N1EU > Sent: Saturday, October 30, 2010 3:29 PM > To: elecraft > Subject: [Elecraft] K3 software utility ? > > I suspect that I'm not alone in continuously butting up against the > K3's limited display area and not being able to see some of the > settings.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 software utility needed
LP-Bridge allows simultaneous polling (GET) commands from 5 applications at the same time with no limitations. The only possible issue is multiple SET commands at the same time, which is an unlikely occurrence.

Hi Barry, I'm working on an app similar to what you describe.

This will allow the user to pick which app they want displayed at any one time. I currently have a band stack, RX and TX Equalizer editor, and Memory editor working.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 software utility needed
Unless you are using LP-Pan for its panadapter functions, LP-Bridge is probably overkill. The free Enterlogic VSPE port splitter will create multiple virtual ports that share a single "real" port (USB or motherboard) and allow multiple applications to access the K3 simultaneously. Note, with multiple applications there are limitations ... the total polling load can not exceed the processing capability of the K3 controller. In addition, each application must be able to ignore responses to the other applications ... that is each application may process the data (e.g., the IF; data) but unexpected data should not be capable of confusing any application. The most significant problem with multiple software access is the case of multiple command strings. It is nearly impossible to make multiple command strings work in a shared access environment due to the probability that a poll from one application will occur in the middle of a command string from another application. 73, ...

I'll go look at LP-Bridge. Thanks for the tip. Mike Monty Shultes wrote: > If you want to share the K3's serial port, LP-BRIDGE does a great > job.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 software utility needed
Hi Barry, I'm working on an app similar to what you describe. It will be similar to K3-EZ, but instead of having all of the various options in a tab panel in one window, there will be a number of 'mini' apps that can each be displayed in it's own window. This will allow the user to pick which app they want displayed at any one time. I currently have a band stack, RX and TX Equalizer editor, and Memory editor working. Next on the list is a window with various configuation options like you described. I'm using an SQL database which will allow a virtually unlimited number of band stack registers by band/mode, memories, EQ settings, etc. I still have lots of work to do, but hopefully I'll have something usable in a few weeks. It will be available for Mac, Windows, and maybe Linux. Not sure how well it will play with LP-Bridge at this point.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 software utility needed
Exactly...and it works GREAT for this exact purpose. Other than the K3 Utility which is a necessity, I think LPB is the single most useful piece of software out there that supports the K3. - 73, Greg - AB7R Whidbey Island WA NA-065 On Thu Dec 10 6:59 , Barry N1EU sent: >This problem has already been addressed by N8LP and that's why I >specifically mentioned LP-Bridge in my original post.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 software utility needed
This problem has already been addressed by N8LP and that's why I specifically mentioned LP-Bridge in my original post. The availability of LP-Bridge is precisely what opens up the possibility (and power) of using a simple display application like I described to address the K3's limited display info. 73, Barry N1EU On Thu, Dec 10, 2009 at 2:26 PM, Mike wrote: > The problem on a Windows box is sharing the comm port with another > application. > Barry N1EU wrote: >> I envision using such an application in conjunction with LP-Bridge >> along with other software such as logging software, panadapter, etc. __ 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] K3 software utility needed
If you want to share the K3's serial port, LP-BRIDGE does a great job. I use Kcomm, PowerSDR-IF, EasyPal, Digipan at the same time (if a needed sound card is available - I have 2 so far). If you need more serial ports on your PC, I've found that PCI Express cards are a good - though expensive - solution for current desktops.
