Re: [Elecraft] Writing K3 Control Add-in for Windows4P3 and need some advice

2013-04-03 Thread tomb18
Well, I've made some changes based on a lot of suggestions via email.

This is the new version.  Please ignore button sizes and placement, it
hasn't been optimized yet.
The whole thing is about 1/2 way there in terms of programming.  One feature
that I'm putting in is the ability to connect directly to HRD Logbook
without HRD or a com sharing program like LPBridge or MiniDeluxe.
It will have native support for HRD Logbook, DM780 and rotor control
programs built in (I hope!).
Any other popular logbook programs open enough to allow me to connect?

Thanks for comments on the interface and if anything is missing or not.

I would think you will find the VOX on/off and gain controls useful.  There
are some of us that rely on them in remote operation.

I use an IP Power switch to control the AC.  This gives you the ability to
power up/down the entire station from the remote location.  To power up the
K3 I have a momentary relay on the output of the power supply for the K3. 
You turn the power supply on and the relay bumps the on pin in the accessory
socket.  Works great and is automatic.  A crude R/C circuit accross the coil
does the job.

To power down the K3 takes a short data command, as you know.  I have tried
several remote control programs.  A couple of them send this command
automatically whey you shut the program down.  Very cool.  Together this
takes the hassle out of turning the K3 on and off.  The only drawback is
that you must power down the power supply before you can turn the K3 back
on, using the IP Power switch.

if Vox on/off  gain is included, then please also AntiVox is also a much
needed inclusion. for some reason I have to change the Vox and AntiVox
depending on the band/antenna I am on.

Re: [Elecraft] Writing K3 Control Add-in for Windows4P3 and need some advice

2013-03-26 Thread Ed
I think what will happen here is if you start looking at a competent 
remote control program is that all controls would be required at some 
point.  This includes the Configuration menus.  Of the different 
programs I have looked at none is 100%, but I probably haven't seen all 
that are available.

As far as the stability of the VOX controls, I have found them to be 
very stable.  Set and forget, and that is the way they should be.  
However there are times you may want to make changes.  Like when you 
leave the house and forget to set things up beforehand. If you are 
having trouble with your VOX settings you may want to start looking for 
an outside cause, like the effects of RF, or something.  The K3 is known 
as having an excellent VOX system.

Hi,
You may want to consider adding the Delay adjustment.
I use mine in CW depending on whether I operate  QSK or not.
Of course it also is used to adjust VOX delay I believe. 
Also the Mon (monitor) function might be of value.
Good Luck
