Hi, Dave! I'm starting to work on it.
In the short term, the K3 Utility's "Command Tester" tab can get you part of the way there. Enter "tt1;" into the input edit window, put the K3 into a data mode and turn on the decoding functions. TT is the "Text to Terminal" mode setting that sends decoded data to the PC. The newest version of the K3 Utility (1.0.12.9 or later) will handle this sort of unsolicited input. Earlier versions of the K3 Utility were not equipped to handle K3 to PC data that was not in immediate response to a command. Turn off text to terminal mode (TT0;) before you try to load firmware again (I'll do that for you in a newer revision). I hope to add a more natural data terminal page that doesn't require you to have a Programmer's Reference manual open when you make data mode QSOs. But I'm going to stop well short of competing with MTTY or any of the other data-mode programs that decode with a sound card. I have vacation plans, so this work won't happen until early next year. 73 de Dick, K6KR (ex G0MFO) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave G4AON Sent: Saturday, December 15, 2007 2:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Elecraft] K3 - should data via the RS232 cable work? The current firmware allows for PSK31 and RTTY to be decoded to the LCD display and encoded via Morse paddle input, I've even had a couple of RTTY QSOs via that awkward route! I've not seen details of anyone operating data with a K3 via the serial cable, a feature that may not yet be available. The programmers reference manual mentions it, as does G4ILO's KCommunicate, but the latter doesn't currently seem to work on a K3. Any updates or ideas appreciated. 73 Dave, G4AON K3/100 #80 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
