Thanks Lyle! K1GQ/Bill just sent me an email that clarified my confusion; saying basically that the P3 talks to the 'outside world' at whatever baud rate is set on the P3, but the P3 and K3 communicate with each other at a fixed 38400 b rate! So between you and Bill, my confusion has been cleared.
Thanks again and 73, Tom - W4BQF -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lyle Johnson Sent: Tuesday, September 14, 2010 8:28 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] FW: P3 and K3 RS-232 baud rates It means that the P3 combination will interface to your computer at 4,800 bps if that is what you set it to on the P3. The data rate on the RS232 "private line" between the P3 and the K3 is set by the P3, and is currently 38,400 bps. The K3 is in fact operating at the data rate indicated by [K3] CONFIG:RS232. If you turn the P3 off, then the K3 will be connected to your computer through a bypass relay in the P3. You would then need to either adjust the computer's data rate setting, or the K3's, to match each other. 73, Lyle KK7P > On page 13 of the P3 Owner's Manual, in the section 'RS232 XCVR', the last > sentence states: "The K3 baud rate is set automatically by the P3 and cannot > be changed at the K3" Based on that, is it correct that if I set the P3 baud > rate to 4800 b, then the K3 will be operating at 4800 b even though > CONFIG:RS232 reads 38400b? > ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
