Hi ho, I want to programmatically get the SWR, or at least an approximation of the SWR via the serial cable.
I found an old application kx3swr.py (http://robert.butera.org/?p=380), but somehow this one returned always 0.0 as SWR back, which I didn't really believe. Basically the program does this: select ATU menu: MN023; turn ATU to bypass: MP001; turn menu off: SWT09; set frequency: FA ... ; wait a bit turn TUNE button: SWH16; wait a bit get VFO data: DS; try to decipher it release TUNE button: SWT16; However, my KX3 with firmware 2.38 always returns DS@@@@@>>@; as response. Even when I do the steps manually. Did this change with some recent firmware update, or did I miss something important? Only when outside of TUNE I get some value, e.g. DS14³60°00. Also, dear Elecraft, in the K3&KX3 Programmers manual you wrote in the BG command description "CWT, SWR, and CMP readings not yet available". How long is "not yet" going to take? :-) Or, dear Elecraft, maybe you implement the RM command like the Kenwood TS850 or TS870 ... (I have found them used in the hamlib source). 73, Holger ______________________________________________________________ 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]
