[Elecraft] Looking for an ASCII Elmer

Re: [Elecraft] K3 no SSB receive
OK what did I do ? Been working on cw and external noise canceller for couple days - and just tried to listen for the TI9 on SSB - both main and sub rx are dead. All other modes fine , Just USB or USB dead - all bands absolutely not a trace of audio - did a couple on -off cycles no joy . The 2.7 khz filter is selected for SSB and is functional in all other modes both receivers.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 won’t unkey properly
Thank you Joe. That is a good suggestion. However I have checked and as far as I can tell there is no conflicting PTT actions. I also use DATA A as the recommended mode in the KX3 and do not use VOX. I believe that PTT is either via RigCAT or Hamlib, and no PTT port is provided in the Fldigi configuration. Everything works fine except for that the KX3 refuses to completely unkey on its own. I unlikely to encounter this problem for long because I have decided to order a USB sound card hub to provide the MacBook Retina with an external sound card with audio input and output. The MacBook Retina is supposed to have external input and output via the single stereo audio port using a 4-ring stereo plug, but in my experience this did not work. Besides using an external sound card makes also sense to avoid spurious signals from the environment. I'll be using the Signalink with my desk radio and keep the little audio hub for the occasional digital with the KX3 from the trail. Much appreciated. 73 Jose VA3PCJ -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/KX3-won-t-unkey-properly-tp7599065p7599124.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Error 6 when changing filters then xmitting
Fault #6 appears to be 'Excessive Driving Power' so it probably wouldn't hurt to run the TX Gain Calibration again, make sure PWR SET in the menu is set for Per Band, then check the power settings with the KPA500 on each band in operate mode. Although I'm not sure why it would only do it when the 400Hz filter is selected. You might double check that the 2.8KHz filter is still set as the TX filter for SSB, CW, and DATA Mike KI0HA On 2/21/2015 17:03, W0MU Mike Fatchett wrote: I have the 2.8 in slot 2 and the 400 in slot 4...

Re: [Elecraft] Looking for an ASCII Elmer
I am pretty sure that the question about ASCII programming was about the ASCII protocol to Elecraft rigs. That truly is ASCII, complete with control characters. And yes, I know about Unicode and UTF-8. I was doing multibyte character set programming before Unicode. I’ve done some Elecraft control programming and it isn’t easy. Yeah, you can fart out ASCII, but the radio takes time to respond, and some of the codes read the display rather than the data, so it is a highly stateful, ugly experience. Instead of explaining how smart you are about UTF-8, be an Elmer. wunder K6WRU CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ On Feb 21, 2015, at 9:44 PM, Phil Hystad phys...@mac.com wrote: ASCII... Well, the UTF-8 character set is indeed designed to be backward compatible with ASCII but it is far more than that -- and even these days many programmers do have trouble with UTF-8. Why? Because UTF-8 is a multi-byte, variable length character encoding system. Sure, the backward compatible ASCII codes are single byte but you can literally encode any character defined by UNICODE via UTF-8. Chinese characters defined in UNICODE take more than a single byte to define so they require the multi-byte features of UTF.8. Now, I do agree that the programming for radio control is not likely to run into multi-byte characters but UTF-8 will include them if they are found elsewhere -- say a text file that has mixed English as other multi-byte characters. I agree with the need to download Xcode and learn Objective-C but the new Swift language might be easier for someone who is just starting out to learn. I am not sure which would be easier to learn, Objective-C or Swift but I think Swift, being more modern and also supporting scripting is easier. 73, phil, K7PEH On Feb 21, 2015, at 9:30 PM, Jack Brindle jackbrin...@me.com wrote: ASCII?

All the talk about split has made me want to build a quick split macro or memory button. I started to read the manual but its not making sense to me.

Also a similar one for adding 1k to VFOB (up 1 for CW). How would I do this and assign to M1 or M2. I know this should be simple but what I am reading is not sinking in.

From the K3 Owner's Manual ver D10 pg 29: SSB/CW VFO Offset The K3 can automatically offset the VFO frequency when you switch from SSB to CW mode, so other stations will hear the correct CW pitch.

Re: [Elecraft] KSYN3AUPG and external OCXO
Guys, with new synt there is any advantage other than better ppm to use external OCXO source, I was thinking if anybody tested and external 10MHz super clean source maybe with a Wenzel or a Morion and got any better phasenoise than default TXCO... is a cleaner OCXO is directly translated in cleaner synt phasenoise?

[Elecraft] New KSYN3AUPG Installation
After my initial report of no obvious difference in the receiver performance after first installing the new K3 synthesizers, I've now had the pleasure of using them in the ARRL CW DX contest on 40 meters last night. Let me preface my observations by saying that I normally run my DSP at 150 Hz bandwidth after the 5 pole 200 Hz filter. My antenna is a 1/4 wave sloper from the top of a 48' tower with a 3 element Steppir on top. After 10 PM from central Indiana last night, 40 meters was wall-to-wall signals from Northern Asia, all of Europe, Africa and even into the South Pacific. This was great real-world test conditions! In short, there IS a difference and it IS noticeable without using lab test equipment! The reward is of being able to more easily hear really weak ( s3 ) stations sandwiched between other louder stations, often with less than 200 Hz spacing between them. It's sometimes like the unwanted signals are just not there, even though I can watch then on the P3. The band also just sounds quieter between signals, even though there were dozens of big signals within 5 KHz of my tuned frequency. Don't get me wrong, the radio was previously very good in these types of conditions. It just seems to me to be better now! It made me smile. It's also even more obvious who's rigs have offensive transmit characteristics. I'm really enjoying the change in my K3! It will be even more fun in the ARRL 160 contest next December. So now I'm drinking my morning coffee and watching the snow pile up. Perfect contest weather! Back to it...

[Elecraft] K3 KSYN3A install
Installed the KSYN3A synthesizer today, it was pretty easy. Used earlier post idea of installing on op desk without disconnecting all the rear cables, used good static protection. Only slight problem was the long leads on the mini connector (page 11). I trimmed them but when installed they were touching. I used very small cutters and trimmed them several times before I got them short enough not to touch. Other than that, all went well, rig works great. Will do some testing to see the difference. 73 Good luck Emory WM3M __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
Re: [Elecraft] How to build a quick split macro for memory button
Here's a simple one. I'll explain it and then tell you how to assign it to a button. SWT13;SWT13;FT1;UPB5;SB1; This does the following: SWT13;SWT13; A-B, twice FT1; SPLIT on UPB5; VFO B up 2 kHz (yes, it's not a typo. The 5 means 2 kHz) SB1; turn on the SUBRX Of course if you don't have a subreceiver you don't need the SB1; Also note that I have CONFIG: L--MIX--R set to A Ab so that I will hear the DX in the left and right channels and the pileup in the right channel. I find that most comfortable. If you just want split without the subrx, you can just tab SUB after going into split. OK, now what you do is go to the K3 Utility and select the Command Tester/K3 Macros tab, and click Edit Macros. Click Read Macros from K3 in case you already have some. Put the string of your macro in an empty slot and give it a name like SPLIT. Note the number of the slot. Then click Write Macros to K3. Click SAVE and you are done with the Utility. Now go to the K3 and hold Menu. Select CONFIG:Function. Now tap the K3 numeric button that corresponds to the macro slot that you used. If it was number 2, tap the 2 button. You should get MACRO 2 in the VFO B display. Now just tap or hold the programmable button that you want to assign it to (hold PF1 or PF2 or tap or hold one of the M1-M4 buttons). It sounds a lot harder than it is. On 21 Feb 2015 20:17, gold...@charter.net wrote: All the talk about split has made me want to build a quick split macro or memory button.
