Re: [Elecraft] K3 Sub Rx idea
Hi all, Isn't it much easier to use A/B, do your stuff and then swap back again? I don't have the subreceiver, but I use the B VFO a lot and always use the swap, do, swap method for everything. B SET is another button I simply never use. Another redundant button to me is the REV button.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Sub Rx idea
I'm gradually weeding out commands that don't work in BSET mode. Until then, you might want to do A/B, change the setup, then A/B again. 73, Wayne N6KR On Jan 31, 2009, at 6:40 AM, Milt, N5IA wrote: Wayne, The most undesireable aspect of BSET is the fact that the communication with the computer is interrupted.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Sub Rx idea
GM Wayne, I understand A/B and the swap per AB2TC's comment. But there are some of the settings which do not follow. I know you know and will address them if at all possible.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Sub Rx idea
Could that have meant redundant when the KRX3 is installed?

David Ferrington, M0XDF wrote: Could that have meant redundant when the KRX3 is installed? Possibly, but I have a KRX3 and leave my K3 in diversity continuously. REV still works great in split pileups with diversity on (to better copy weak DX signals). David Ferrington, M0XDF wrote: I kinda wonder, there is the A/B button, what does REV give you that A/ B doesn't? The difference is that REV is momentary (as long as you hold the button) and returns when you release it. A/B must be toggled each time to swap TXRX which guarantees you will eventually transmit on the DX station's frequency when you forget to toggle. REV can also ensure you don't accidentally bump VFO A off of the DX station. Tune in the DX station with VFO A, LOCK, and then use REV to set the TX on VFO B (using the BIG knob). You can move your TX frequency as long as REV is depressed and VFO A stays locked on the DX station. This is not something new. Kenwood's TS-930S had it in the early 80s as TF-SET and I believe Icom calls it XFC (Transmit Frequency Check). It's still very useful even with a KRX3 if you like to leave diversity engaged as I do. 73, Bill -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/K3-Sub-Rx-idea-tp2248572p2251133.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ 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
[Elecraft] K3 Sub Rx idea
I have been using the K3 sub rx for a while now. What I would like to see is a totally interchangeable main and sub. I want to be able to switch sub for main in a way that the sub rx is acting like the main without a shadow of a difference. Right now if I press Sub I can change sub rx settings but I can't change frequency for example. I would like to be able to operate as if the Sub were main and the Main were Sub and vice versus perhaps by pressing a single button.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Sub Rx idea
I believe what Mike is asking for is to have BSET mode be more comprehensive -- to include things like direct frequency entry and all of the other controls that are normally accessible only for the main receiver. The BSET switch *is* intended as a context swap that allows the front panel to control the sub receiver. It already allows control of many sub receiver parameters, including the DSP controls, mode, preamp, attenuator, and antenna selection. As part of the sub receiver band-independence feature (which I'm working on right now), I'll be adding additional controls to BSET. I've already added BAND change and noise blanker control. I hope to have a beta version of this code available within a week or two. It mostly works, but I have some refinement to do before I let it out of the lab. 73, Wayne N6KR I have been using the K3 sub rx for a while now.
