Doug: Im curious... What are you connecting and disconnecting on your microKEYER II to switch from a CW to a Phone contest and why? Is this because you are using the KDVR3 and not the built in sound card to send the messages?
I switch from a CW to a Phone contest simply by typing CW or USB (LSB) on the entry window of N1MMLogger. There is no plugging and unplugging needed of anything in the MKII. Of course, I use the MKII built in sound card to send and record messages. Ive used WinTest with my K3 at NQ4I in the last WPX SSB and didnt have to unplug or plug anything to switch from Phone to CW (I played with the rig on 160CW before the ssb contest. Nice antennas at NQ4I for 160 <grin>). I do not use the K3 DVK, however, I use the MKII to generate DVK, and it works perfectly, no issues, no distortion, no problems. Just make sure that the levels on the hardware pot are set correctly. Once set, they never vary from place to place and from N1MM at home vs. WinTest at NQ4I. I can also pre-record messages and recall them by operator on N1MMLogger, plus record on the fly with both N1MMLogger and WinTest, but I have never tried to recall DVK's using "OPON" on WinTest. It works just fine using Control-O (callsign) on N1MM. -lu w4lt- K3 # 3192 Date: Tue, 1 Jun 2010 12:35:37 +0100 From: "Doug Turnbull" <[email protected]> Subject: [Elecraft] KDVR3, wintest and Microkeyer II To: <[email protected]> Message-ID: <764fe0684e0747acb3d2c3a73c58b...@doug1> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Has anyone married the three of these so that the KDVR3 is used for voice memory rather than the MicroKeyer II. I prefer the KDVR3 to the MK II. It would be nice to be able to use the function keys to activate the KDVR3 while connected to MK II. I do not want to be connecting and disconnecting the MK II all the time I change from a CW to phone contest. This is one of those issues which microHAM does not address and I have yet to find the answer from Win Test. Too many different manufacturers are involved but maybe one of the people on this group has already solved this problem. Thanks to Tony for his e-mail regarding the N1MM. 73 Doug EI2CN ______________________________________________________________ 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
