This problem was corrected by the latest K3 firmware release (3.77). Thanks for the input. 73, Wayne N6KR On Mon, 1 Feb 2010 12:05:01 -0800 (PST), Julius Fazekas n2wn wrote: >During the contest this past weekend, my K3 would pop out of diversity mode >on it's own, from time to time. This

Kewl! Thanks for the info and effort Barry, K3CT and W4TV (who's dat?)! Still have ZERO complaints about N1MM, one heck of a FREE logging program! 73, Julius - Julius Fazekas N2WN Tennessee Contest Group http://www.k4ro.net/tcg/index.html Tennessee QSO Party http://www.tnqp.org/ Elecraf

I agree Bill, but it would depend on what you have available for Rx antennas. I use my Tx vertical and a short beverage, more to focus (as much as that is possible with the given antennas) on EU. Where the vertical is pretty much omni, didn't need to worry about two directions. Wish I had room fo

Just a quick note about N1mm Logger, K3 subrx support and diversity mode in particular. K3CT, W4TV and I have been working long and hard to define all K3 use case scenarios and testing K3CT's software implementation. An upcoming software release will provide a great improvement in support for th

Thanks Rich, I'll look into that when I get back out to the shack. I still use the knobs to tune, even RIT/XIT, but it's worth checking it out. I was too focused most of the time on making contacts, so missed any "clues". Thanks for the QSOs in both contests, more so in this one, those 5 pointer

Interesting Jim, and that indeed may be the mechanism. I should have noted exactly where and when it happened. Something is not quite kosher with the antenna on the lower 15 KHz of the band and I've not done anything to improve it (or as I fear ruin an excellent antenna) yet. My TX antenna is a

During the contest this past weekend, my K3 would pop out of diversity mode on it's own, from time to time. This occurred when running or during S&P. I don't think I was doing anything to cause it, but it's not out of the question. Has anyone else experienced this? thanks for all the K3 and K2
