Hello, I am programming yet another utility to control KX3 and I encountered a strange (inconsistent) behavior.
In digital mode contest traffic it is necessary to switch to RX immediately after exchange has been sent. I learned that the way to do this is to send KYW<text to send>;RX; to the serial interface. The RX; after KY will ensure immediate switch to receive and the W in KYW will ensure that the RX; will be interpreted after text sending is finished, i.e. will not interrupt ongoing transmission. What surprised me is that when I send something like: KYWCQ CQ CQ DE OK4RM;KYW DE OK4RM OK4RM PSE K;RX; i.e. split a long text in shorter chunks. In such case I believe all the texts are sent (I have to verify that yet, though) but the effect of the final RX; disappears. Is this a mistake in my program workflow or could that be a firmware peculiarity? (I hesitate to call it a bug as everything else seems to work perfectly.) I think there will be no problem for a contest but if I wanted to use the same pattern for longer exchanges in casual digi QSOs that would make things a little bit more complicated. Thanks for any advice, Jindra OK4RM ______________________________________________________________ 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]
