Hi Howard, There isn't a command to change the rate that the encoder built into the K3 operates, what we can do is send a command to the radio to move the VFO frequency up or down at different distances from the current frequency.
When the PigKnob encoder pulses, the microcontroller first determines which direction the knob is spinning, then consults EEPROM to get the configured command to be sent and then writes those characters out the serial port to the radio. The knob has two states, normal tuning and alternate tuning. The factory config will send the "UP;" command for clockwise and "DN;" command for counter-clockwise. When the knob is toggled into the alternate tuning mode, by depressing the knob once, the default commands sent are "UP4;" and "DN4;". The 4 in these commands tells the radio how far it should move up or down, "4" is 1 kHz. When there is no number defined, it will move 10 Hz. All four of these commands are configurable. The K3 Programmer's Reference says that the command "DNn;" and "UPn;" has options for "n" defined as: 0=1 Hz; 1 or not used=10 Hz; 2=20 Hz; 3=50 Hz; 4=1 kHz; 5=2 kHz; 6=3 kHz; 7=5 kHz; 8=100 Hz; 9=200 Hz Following these specifications if you wanted to have the clockwise encoder pulse move the VFO up 5 kHz, for example, you would send the "UP7;" command. To address your question, if you wanted the default tuning state to move up/down 1 kHz per pulse of the encoder and you wanted the alternate state to move RIT up or down, the following configuration commands would accomplish that. cw UP4; cc DN4; fcw RU; fcc RD; 73, Nick N3WG On Mon, Jun 10, 2013 at 5:57 PM, Howard Sherer <[email protected]> wrote: > Just installed the Pigknob on my K3 and it works great.
