Yep - this is true - not only that, but be aware if you are using DTR/RTS to send code from N1MM (I presume other software as well) that even if you have NOT turned VOX to the ON position on the K3, the DTR/RTS keying in conjunction with ENABLING the PTT control in N1MM Config, will put your RF into the ether when N1MM Function keys are used! Nice - but - read on:
Then, when you reach for your paddle to send a correction nothing will make it to the air UNLESS you have enabled VOX on the K3! You will wonder why the other station keeps asking and finally gives up! Been there, done that and have the T-shirt! 73 -- Don -----Original Message----- From: Vic K2VCO [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2007 2:06 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: 'Gary Bartlett VE1RGB'; [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3/100 + DX4WIN & N1MM Don Nesbitt wrote: > Set: 4800, N, 8, 1, DTR = CW, RTS = PTT, Radio/VFO nr =1, Radio PTT Delay = > 30, Radio PTT via command block checked If you decide to use DTR/RTS, be aware that your computer may raise these lines during bootup. So if you are in CW mode when you boot your computer, you may unexpectedly transmit a dash or two. I found the DTR CW to work very well, and I could get rid of the parallel port interface I was using for computer-generated CW. I don't use the PTT, just selecting full or semi QSK on the K3. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
