Don, Thanks! Now I understand what is happening. The mode change being sent first is what is causing the delay in moving to the spot frequency. I recall hearing the audio quality change on the initial frequency (like you'd expect changing to CW from LSB), then an annoying delay, then the frequency changes to the DX spot frequency.
We can't fix that in the radio and the software author isn't interested in helping. But at least I now understand WHY I'm stuck with this in this logging program. 73, Terry, W0FM -----Original Message----- From: Don Wilhelm [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, February 15, 2011 5:19 PM To: Julian, G4ILO Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] [K3] N3FJP and K3 control issue Julian, Actually, the sequence of setting the mode first will change the mode on the current band - then after the command to change to another band is issued, the K3 will dutifully follow that command - and will retrieve the last used mode on that band - because that is what the K3 programmer's reference says it will do - simply change bands. Reversing the order to change band, and then change mode should hurt nothing, and will solve the problem for many K3 users. 73, Don W3FPR ______________________________________________________________ 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
