Hello Arie, I agree with you 'LINK' should not be abandoned. Please excuse my language, I would consider the idea of abandoning the 'LINK' is stupid. During APDXC 2012 in Icom HQ Osaka, I spoke to Mr. Inoue JA3FA that I did not understand why IC7800 did not have the function of LINK for both VFOA & B so that I could use the dual receivers for diversity reception. I also mentioned that their competitor K3 had that function which I often used. Skillful use of diversity reception will enable you to pick up the odds even with simple antennae. 73 Johnny VR2XMC 寄件人︰ Arie Kleingeld PA3A <[email protected]> 收件人︰ [email protected] 傳送日期︰ 2015年02月16日 (週一) 1:10 AM 主題︰ Re: [Elecraft] K3 Beta 5r10 and LINK Tony
LINK ties both VFO's to the mail freq dial en keeps them insync when you turn the dial knob. So both receivers keep working on the same freq. What I often use i diversity listening so with two receivers and two antennas on the samen freq. Diversity puts the main RX audio on the left ear of the headset, and the Sub on the right ear. That's the normal situation. In my case, the F9-F12 buttons in N1MM contain commands to the K3 that switch the audio to my liking (that can also be done in the Config, but that takes too much time during QSO) This way I can switch listening from diversity (listen both MainRX and SubRX at same time) to only main RX (main RX audio on both ears) or only sub RX (Sub RX audio on both ears) depending on where the signal is best. The commands to do this are in the programmers manual of the K3. It's really fun to control some beautiful K3 features from the keyboard like this. 73 Arie PA3A N2TK, Tony schreef op 15-2-2015 om 16:38: > Hi Arie, > I am not sure I understand what LINK does to help when both receivers are on > the same freq.
