Re: [Elecraft] P3 Vs. K3 Noise Level

2016-03-07 Thread Alan
The indicated noise level depends on the receive bandwidth. For example, if you use a narrower bandwidth on the K3, you'll notice that the S meter reads lower. The effective bandwidth of the P3 is approximately one pixel on the display, which is SPAN/468. So, for example, if the span is 47

Hi Paul, Firstly-- thank you for putting this on your radar!   I will rephrase-- the P3 fails to control the K3 when using some macros in sequence, due to the P3 failing to implement flow control, and the P3 overrunning the K3. End result is the same however-- the P3/K3 cluster fails to execute

Yes, the issue is that after the P3 sends the UP7, DN7 command, etc. to the K3 it doesn't receive the new frequency back from the K3 right away. So when the #FXT1 command (go to fixed-tune mode) is executed it is based on the old K3 frequency, not the new one. Adding a delay in the

Hi Dave, The P3 does execute the commands one after another. The problem is likely that the K3 commands take a little longer to execute and there is no waiting in the P3 for the K3 to change frequency. In other words, the P3 executes the serial commands in sequence. It gets to a K3 command
