Re: [Elecraft] CQ WPX RTTY Contest

Hi Bill, If the P3SVGA is set for displaying K3 decoded digital or CW text, another external text display program (rumlog, K3 Utility text window etc.) that accesses the K3's decoded text over the serial or USB command interface can not be running and displaying the decoded text at the same

Re: [Elecraft] CQ WPX RTTY Contest

Thanks to some off list advice, I think I have tracked this problem down. It doesn't appear to be RUMlogNG because it also occurs with the K3 utility. (Note: I found thi problem before communicating with Tom DL2RUM.) Here's my message to support describing the problem: When running the K3

Re: [Elecraft] CQ WPX RTTY Contest

More information: RUMlogNG seems to be part of the problem. Today I was able to relax and watch decode of a RTTY (KL7RST running contacts). I noticed that the K3 was doing a good job of decoding the RTTY at all times (but wow, the screen is small). The P3/SVGA was losing characters making the

Re: [Elecraft] CQ WPX RTTY Contest

Good idea. I wish I had heard about on Friday HIHI. (cocoaModem will also separately decode the left and right channels.) 73 Bill AE6JV On 2/15/16 at 8:40 AM, rprat...@mac.com (Rick Prather) wrote: BTW, CCM also has the benefit of being able to use both VFO's and tuning for the next call

Re: [Elecraft] CQ WPX RTTY Contest

I forgot to mention that I also will set the tuning bars in cocoaModem as close to 1275/1445 (my preferred tones) as I can and often use the XY tuning indicator in CCM. BTW, CCM also has the benefit of being able to use both VFO's and tuning for the next call while I wait for the "NR?'s and

Re: [Elecraft] CQ WPX RTTY Contest

I ran my K3 with the K3IOB upgrade card installed. I also have a P3 and set it to a 10 KHz span. Before, when I used the line out as an input to Fldigi, it seemed like there was a little more tolerance in how I tuned in on the space signal. Now, I notice that the K3 decodes text when I get

Re: [Elecraft] CQ WPX RTTY Contest

I used RUMlogNG for WPX and it worked very well. My set up though is a bit different than your's I think. I use the K3 set to FSK D and cocoaModem as a back up. I tune the signals using my P3 set to about 15 Khz span and tune to the Right (space) signal. The only repeats I needed to give

Re: [Elecraft] CQ WPX RTTY Contest

I played for a few hours Friday night. I used my KX3 with the PX3 and a USB keyboard for S calling and reply including the serial number using function keys. I used logging to keep track of the few contacts I made on a separate computer. I operated on 80m and used FSK D on the KX3 to

Hi, Did you have Data Submode "AFSK A" turned on? -- 73's, and thanks, Dave For software/hardware reviews see: http://www.nk7z.net For MixW support see: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/mixw/info For SSTV help see: http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/MM-SSTV/info On Sun, 2016-02-14 at

[Elecraft] CQ WPX RTTY Contest

I just finished casual operation in the contest. I spent considerable time trying to find the best way to do RTTY with RUMlogNG. RUMlogNG can use the RTTY support built in to the K3 via the RS-232 link. It works well for transmit, although given the number of times I had to repeat my call, I
