Hi Gernot,

That could be it... I am afraid I was expecting something like 40 chars and did not bother reading full details :-)

It seems the correct approach is to split exchange into chunks of 24 chars max and instead of dumb chaining follow each chunk by KY; and wait for KY2; response, and only then continue.

I was hoping to manage it without making the control program too busy, obviously KX3 needs a little bit more attention.

Anyway, it is doing quite nice things in my Chrome packaged app. I can manually switch everything and especially receive all responses with 100% reliability.

Hopefully it will be usable for comfortable work in PSK-D and FSK-D modes (that is my main motivation), maybe for some CW contesting.

Would you be interested when it is done?

Jindra,
check the KYn; response for error / success. See manual re. the KY command. Might be a buffer overrun ? The buffer is limited to 24 chars according to the specs.

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
