Hi George, Being terminally lazy, I too tired of reaching all the way over to the radio when I wanted to trigger the voice keyer! To solve the problem (as well as the more serious irritation of losing audio for a fraction of a second when I tap the PTT to cancel message playback) I've made a custom PTT controller using a Wii nunchuk and an arduino that talks to the K3 over serial.
There are a couple of blog posts on it here: http://clarkema.org/posts/2011-12/2011-12-20-arduino-rig-control.html http://clarkema.org/posts/2012-01/2012-01-05-arduino-rig-control.html It's all very rough at the moment, buut I've been using it on air since the beginning of the year and been delighted with it. Indeed, I've found that the ease of triggering playback has changed the whole way I use the voice keyer. I'm hoping to be able to publish a more polished version of the setup including serial pasthrough when I get back to the UK; but the basic hard-coded version is fairly straightforward to implement if you have access to an Arduino and something you want to use as a controller. 73, -- Mike, M0PRL / VP8DMH On 22/Jan 22:40, [email protected] wrote: > Also, is there a way to key the messages from an external key pad, kinda > like the iMate is for the Icom 756Pro radios? > > 73, George ______________________________________________________________ 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
