Bill,
Memory macros-nope. All the N1MM macros are the "standard" button pushes for the DVK messages. A raspberry Pi may be in the future for my station control now that an inexpensive touchscreen is available. But I will stick with N1MM+-K3 interface for now. In my shack I use LP-Bridge to provide virtual serial ports, including one to the K3. However, this anomaly has appeared when using my old Vista laptop with both N1MM Legacy and Plus. A passive logger could possibly indicate the anomaly's source. Any suggests for a software logger? Consider that some other command could also be mangled into MG 0. The mangling can occur anywhere in the command. What would be useful here is a passive logger for the RS-232 connection. It would simply monitor the connection and log everything sent over it. It sounds like a Raspberry Pi application to me, but I like to play software that is near the hardware level. You could also do it with an Arduino, which gets rid of the OS, but also makes display output harder. YMMV. 73 Bill AE6JV Guy, I don't believe I've indicated this is an analog problem. It's most obviously a software/firmware problem. There is no "MG" command in the N1MM DVK macros: CATA1ASC SWT21; CATA1ASC SWT31; CATA1ASC SWT35; CATA1ASC SWT39; The only commonality between occurrences is N1MM (various versions) and a pair of K3's with various firmware versions. There are no common cables, USB hubs, serial cards, computers, etc. That is not to say that some errant event occurs on rare occasions. It is interesting to not nothing else goes astray on the K3 when using N1MM. Since the anomaly occurred with a K3, and another K3 owner had a similar issue this year, I posted here first. Next I'll give it a try on the N1MM+ e-mail group. I'm watching an episode of Sherlock Holmes on PBS as I type this message-what an appropriate coincidence, or is it? 73, Bill, K8TE Since the mic gain, displayed in a digit format, is reported as literally going to the digit zero, we must remember that everything inside a dotted line within the K3 is entirely SDR. We must carefully avoid our decades-ground-in tendency to think of troubles in our familiar and comfortable analog fashion.

I don't use any of the mic gain command strings in N1MM+. Is it possible that you have a macro associated with one of the memory buttons('s programmable function), which sets the MIC gain, and one of your lesser-used N1MM Logger messages is virtually pushing that button (SWT/SWH)? 73, ~iain / N6ML ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] _____ If you reply to this email, your message will be added to the discussion below: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Mic-gain-goes-to-zero-using-N1MM-tp7600 489p7607363.html To unsubscribe from Mic gain goes to zero using N1MM, click here <http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/template/NamlServlet.jtp?macro=unsubsc ribe_by_code&node=7600489&code=YmlsbGFtYWRlckBnbWFpbC5jb218NzYwMDQ4OXwtNjczM jE2NjMy> . <http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/template/NamlServlet.jtp?macro=macro_v iewer&id=instant_html%21nabble%3Aemail.naml&base=nabble.naml.namespaces.Basi cNamespace-nabble.view.web.template.NabbleNamespace-nabble.view.web.template .NodeNamespace&breadcrumbs=notify_subscribers%21nabble%3Aemail.naml-instant_ emails%21nabble%3Aemail.naml-send_instant_email%21nabble%3Aemail.naml> NAML -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Mic-gain-goes-to-zero-using-N1MM-tp7600489p7607369.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
