Re: [Elecraft] Mouse-n-Click QSY (was P3 product suggestion)

Good Stuff Joe. In addition to what you have suggested and done, the other thing I would like to be able to do is QSY the XIT frequency offset instead of markers A and B moving the VFO. This would be great when working a CW DX station working split usually up in a 1-5Khz window. For a QSK span

Re: [Elecraft] Feature Request: improved internal keyer and CW PTT behavior

Hi Fred, You can easily replicate the unwanted PTT delay as follows: - Set the K3 to CW mode, - Turn VOX on . - Set the VOX delay to a fairly large delay so its to observe. - Key the PTT line - You will observe the unwanted VOX delay after you unkey the PTT line You can easily

Re: [Elecraft] winkeyer

Hi Jim, I've never had a problem with external computer keying through the K3 serial port, it works fine in K3 CW PTT mode. My recommendation is to: - remove the unwanted VOX delay applied to the end of the PTT in VOX mode - Eliminate the unwanted QSK behavior of the internal keyer

Re: [Elecraft] Mouse-n-Click QSY (was P3 product suggestion)

Let's assume Paul Saffren delivers Mouse-n-Click QSY support with the next P3 / PX3 firmware release. What else would you like the mouse to do other than QSY the rig's VFO frequency? I demonstrated Mouse-n-Click QSY with an Elecraft PX3 and KX3 almost 18 months ago,

Hi Bill. A Fluke plugged into the same outlet shows 120.0 VAC unkeyed and 116.9 VAC (60 V internal) keyed with 190 watts out. 114.4 (55 V internal) with 500 watts out. This is CW. I could drop the tap down to RED (106-115 VAC). I kind of feel I'm on the borderline. I'm trying to get a buddy to

Re: [Elecraft] Considering KPA500/KAT500 Combo with Flex 6500

Ken, From what I know, sounds like the line voltage may be low when keying down. Measure it with the amp running if you can. If it stays steady, you are ok. I don't know your house wiring and fusing, check that. #14 wire is good at 15 amps at the breaker and #12 is fused at 20 amps. If

Re: [Elecraft] P3 product suggestion

I also would agree with this suggestion for a mouse function to the P3 for ease of QSY. The marker/dial and tap (push) button function on the P3 is OK for casual QSYing. But in a contest situation, especially CW, pointing and clicking on a signal would be much faster and I would think far more

This is getting harder to understand than organic chemistry was. See interspersed questions and results of trying to duplicate. Somehow, keying an external amp has come into this, the issue I've been trying to duplicate for you was excessive delay in going back to receive. On 2/14/2017

Re: [Elecraft] winkeyer

I don't think the suggestion is to emulate a WinKeyer to contesting software, but rather for the internal keyer to have the same logic as WinKeyer when you send with a paddle and for the amp keying line to behave like the WinKeyer when sending either with the paddle, or from the computer via

Re: [Elecraft] winkeyer

Most (/all) software will expect to talk to the WinKeyer on a separate serial port from the rig, so for that to use useful, you'd have to come up with some way to combine the traffic from/to two virtual serial ports into one real one. It's probably doable in software, but maybe non-trivial

Re: [Elecraft] winkeyer

It sure would be awesome if a user could put the internal K3s keyer into a Winkeyer emulation mode. The majority of logging software supports K1EL's command set, but not all support the Elecraft command set. Jim - KK7A On February 15, 2017 at 10:13:37 AM, Fred C. Jensen (k6...@foothill.net)

Hi Richard, The K3 and external K1EL Winkeyer is a great combination, it corrects most of the deficiencies of the internal K3 keyer and PTT VOX delay. Hopefully the next next upgrade of the K3 internal keyer will at least make it better, if not perfect! The biggest faults are: - VOX delay
