Dear Elecrafties, I recently whinged about the K3 using the "wrong" sideband for CW, for me anyway. I prefer tuning from the bottom of the band upwards, hearing successive CW tones going high-to-low as I go, which requires CW-REV on the K3. That's fine, until I click on a spot in Logger32: as well as QSYing the rig for me, it automagically resets the radio to CW [normal] :-(
I searched Logger32's help for clues and found a section on the K2/K3. First I tried adapting Logger32's commands that can specify the filters to also send a change mode command (i.e. MD7;) but couldn't make that fly. It seems the commands can be added to the Logger32.INI file but they don't seem to work at all for me - neither mode nor filters get changed. No doubt I'm doing something daft but the help file doesn't quite help. Well tonight I've found a simple workaround which does work. Tell Logger32 to use mode CW-REV in place of CW in its band-mode table. The table is accessed from the Tools menu pull-down (select "Setup Bands & Modes"). Open the table, find a CW entry, edit it to read CW-REV and hit return to finish editing each one, then the next ... and finally click the Apply button. Now when I click a CW spot, the radio QSYs and stays in or goes to CW-REV. Easy peasy :-) Now I really must remember to check whether N1MM's logger can do the same trick, prior to the next contest ... 73 Gary ZL2iFB PS I'd still appreciate having a K3 config menu option to swap CW with CW-REV or change the default CW sideband, given the choice, but it's definitiely not a priority for me any more! ______________________________________________________________ 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
