Re: [Elecraft] [K3] WSJT-X settings for K3

For me, it happens *more* when WSJT-X is not the focus. I run OS X 10.10.1. The problem doesn’t disappear when WSJT-X has focus, but it’s not quite as aggravating. I usually just hit whichever button doesn’t shut the program down (I forget which that is now). 73, Joel - W4JBB On Jan 9, 2015,

Re: [Elecraft] Is anyone using a Hardware Data Switch instead of LPBridge?

I’m not sure why I didn’t think of this before. How about the MS-3 from BlackBox? It has one DTE port and three DCE ports on it (or is it the other way around?). BlackBox also makes a larger box with eight ports but I’m not sure if it’s an “MS-8” or they call it something different. We use

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Tascam US-322 to K3

The dual decode works fine in cocoaModem. I used it quite a bit this past year with the W1AW/x stations working RTTY split. I have the second receiver and use my K3 with a CreativeLabs E-MU 0204. 73, Joel - W4JBB On Jan 6, 2015, at 8:10 PM, Bill Frantz fra...@pwpconsult.com wrote: On

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Piglet

Cary, I no longer have a Piglet, but if my “rememberer” is correct, the iPad connects to the Piglet via WLAN. The Piglet connects to the K3 (or other radio) via the RS232 port. 73, Joel - W4JBB On Dec 27, 2014, at 9:25 AM, H. Cary h3c...@gmail.com wrote: Santa brought me an iPadAir for

[Elecraft] [OT] Dual KX3's

Okay, I hate to ask this and it’s going to sound stupid, but I have looked and looked. Someone on this list sold all their *other* radio equipment and bought dual KX3’s. I think one of them was used. I think he is in Nevada, but I am not certain. I’m not trying to stalk the guy, I just would

Re: [Elecraft] Little brown truck arrived w/ my K3!

Definitely use some type of external sound card. In this day and age and all the admonishments to not do so, I *still* hear Windows sounds over the air when using the “default” sound card. If you spend just a few dollars more (you’ve already bought the K3, don’t scrimp on the interface), you

Re: [Elecraft] CW Macros and K3/MAC integration

Chuck, I am a recent (two years) convert to Mac. Question #1: I got the CW memories to work once, but I forgot how I did it. I use a logging program that does that for me. Question #2: I use RUMlog for day-to-day logging and RUMped for contest logging. The each have a user interface that

Re: [Elecraft] PX3 Question

I don’t know if he reads this mail list or not, but K3WWP has a pretty slick KX3/PX3 setup: http://home.windstream.net/johnshan/pix_shack_1014.jpg http://home.windstream.net/johnshan/pix_shack_1014.jpg 73, Joel - W4JBB On Dec 10, 2014, at 2:40 PM, Rick Tavan N6XI rta...@gmail.com wrote:

[Elecraft] K3 and Sound Cards

No comments are necessary unless I just really screwed something up. This is just some evidence of how a really good sound card can help with weak signal work. There has been a lot of sound card discussion lately. I’m not wanting to add to that, but Jim (K9YC) has recommended several cards and

Re: [Elecraft] Getting Started With CW

Ed et al., My opinions usually rub someone wrong, so take them as they are - one man’s opinions about what he has observed in his short time as an amateur operator. K1EL makes a kit that will let you set it up in “bug” mode. I assume his Winkeyer does the same. I have been reluctant to jump

Re: [Elecraft] VOX SET Command?

Randy, Sorry, I saw your string of macros and completely glazed over the first question. Try this: “SWH29; This is on page 29 of the Elecraft K3 and KX3 Programmer’s Reference, Rev. E11, Oct 24, 2013. I just tried it on my KX3 and it only *toggles* VOX between on and off. You’d have to put

[Elecraft] K3 Software

Several years back, there was a freely available piece of software that would do several things with the K3. One of those things was that it would run through and give you an SWR bandwidth in a text file. If memory serves, the icon had a yellow background with K3 on it. Does that ring a bell

Thanks for the help. I believe it was K3_EZ that was the software. I have downloaded it from one of the provided links. 73, Joel - W4JBB On 10/26/14, 9:16 AM, Joel Black wrote: Several years back, there was a freely available piece of software that would do several things with the K3. One

Re: [Elecraft] setting up Fldigi

...and I would like to add that downloading and installing Flrig will help quite a bit with controlling the radio. Flrig connects via XML to Fldigi and gives greater control than RigCAT or Hamlib. Flrig will give you CAT control of the K3 via serial port (or USB-to-serial). On another note,

[Elecraft] [KX3] Macro - Split CW Operation With FW 2.23

FW 2.23 is operating great at my station! With the help of Bill (KV6Z), we came up with a set of macros that programs PF1 with Macro 1 and then Macro 2. It also sets the 8 kHz RX shift for those that have the ringing issues. Here are the macros: Macro 1: Macro Label: CWSPLT Macro Commands:
