Re: [Elecraft] SSTV Reception on the K3
H Mark I play a fair bit if SSTV both using analogue and digital. for analogue (Martin, Scottie etc. DM780 does just fine. I cant really advise on how to implement switching mode for DM780 but Data A would be the best choice. personally I am using MMSSTV and manually change rig modes. on air I find that DM780 and MMSSTV seem to be both very popular. If you are interested in using Digital SSTV (Digital Radio Mondale or DRM) it gets a little more complicated. I dont think that DM780 will do DRM as I think this is amost exclusively done using a program called EasyPal. where it gets complicated is the typical QSO involves sending pictures and often a comment or conversation on frequency with SSB usually talking about the image sent. for this I have a short macro that sends at the begining and end of a image send. one macro at the start changes mode to Data A and reduces power to about 70W. At the end it changes back to SSB and sets power to 100W. this way the image is sent without compression or EQ. but then after sending a picture I can just pick up the mic and answer to any comments that may arise. for receive I don't have much EQ anyway so SSB is just fine for that. 73 Dave Moes VE3DVY On 9/8/2012 8:16 PM, pastor...@verizon.net wrote: > have just discovered that I can use DM780 to receive SSTV.

Re: [Elecraft] SSTV Reception on the K3
Mark, HRD/DM780 will try to set your K3 to SSB, but if you can override that and select DATA A instead, there will be fewer problems - for one thing, K3 DATA modes automatically set TX EQ and RX EQ to flat and set the compression to zero. so you don't have to invent macros to turn those things off. I admit, the last version of HRD that I have used is the 5.0 beta from before Simon sold it. There may have been changes beyond that point that I am not aware of. I don't know the future of HRD other than I understand it will become a "for pay" application. While that is not bad, it makes me investigate other applications for my purposes. I have been experimenting with Fldigi which seems to fill my needs at the moment. I do not desire complete rig control, only that associated with digital modes. I had used LP-Bridge with NaP3 for panadapter display and Fldigi with RIgCat (yes it requires 2 soundcards) before I lost the shack computer. New computer is up and running, but not with all applications yet. 73, Don W3FPR On 9/8/2012 8:16 PM, pastor...@verizon.net wrote: > have just discovered that I can use DM780 to receive SSTV.

[Elecraft] SSTV Reception on the K3
have just discovered that I can use DM780 to receive SSTV. My question would be what mode would I set my K3 to? Would it be Data A or something else? Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!!
