Don et al,
I'm not sure why the entire post didn't come through - (please reference
link:
http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-Macro-query-td7558469.html#a7631362)

Here's the original post:

I need some help understanding SWH/SWT commands and assignments to
PF[1|2]|M[1-4]keys:

I'm trying to assign a MACRO5 to PF1; but it fails to perform the SWT19
function...  Please see tests below...

Reference K3...KX2 Programmers Reference Guide G1; page 25
TAP   HOLD  nn
XMIT  TUNE  16
ATU Tune  ATU   19

Here are the macros:
MACRO1:  SWH16;
MACRO2:  SWT16;
MACRO3:  SWH19;
MACRO4:  SWT19;
MACRO5:  IS*1500;BW0280;AN1;MN023;MP002;MN255;PC100;SWT19;

When I execute from the K3 Utility Rev 1.16.7.25:
Macro Executed  K3 Response
MACRO1: Manual Tune On/Off
MACRO2: Enable Transmit On/Off
MACRO3: Turned ATU On/Off
MACRO4: Performed Auto Tune Function

[Elecraft] K3S+Fldigi+N3FJP Field Day does not transmit.

2017-06-02 Thread Jim Shepherd
I'm running these and they are reading the right frequencies, logging the
contacts, waterfall looks good on the P3 and the waterfall in Fldigi, it is
decoding correctly, but it is not transmitting...  I do have the combo
working well with N1MM+, but it is not transmitting with the N3FJP.  I'm
using the USB interface from a Windows 10 computer.   The club decided that
we are going to use that software, so I am stuck trying to get it to
work...  Any Ideas

Jim

I do not see the macros in your post, but you first have to assign the 
macros to the buttons, and then activate then by using the SWT/SWH 
commands listed in the K3 Programmers Reference.  It is a two step process.

Can't answer your question directly Bruce, but if there are ham 
experiments going on with the eclipsethat need to pass modest-sized 
messages, they might be able to travel via NTS and provide a little 
"real" traffic for those of us who still frequent that anachronism.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S auto spot question

2017-06-02 Thread Don Wilhelm

Jim,

I do not see an asterisk key on the K3S.
There is the SPOT (also "." [hold]) key that you should be using for 
auto-spot.  The top labels on the buttons are the tap functions. The 
lower labels are the HOLD functions.


You set CWT on by a tap on the CWT button.  The display should then show 
the CWT indicator at the top to the left of center.  If you do not have 
that display, CWT is not turned on - perhaps you held the CWT button too 
long (more than 1/2 second) - try again.


Narrow bandwidths work better unless there are few and widely spaced 
signals on the band.


Tune so the desired signal close to the center of the CWT display, and 
then tap SPOT to bring it to your set sidetone pitch.

But, nothing happens. It was suggested that I widen the passband which I
did. Still nothing when I press the asterisk key.

[Elecraft] K3S auto spot question

2017-06-02 Thread Jim Kutsch
I'm still learning my new K3S and haven't yet figured out CW auto spot. I
have auto spot turned on (tap of the 0 key) and activate auto spot by a tap
of the * key while listening to a strong CW signal. Based on my experience
with KX3 auto spot, I would expect the VFO frequency to be automatically
adjusted and for me to hear a change in the pitch of the received CW signal.
But, nothing happens. It was suggested that I widen the passband which I
did. Still nothing when I press the asterisk key.

 

Am I doing something wrong or misunderstanding how the K3S auto spot is
supposed to work? I use this feature frequently on the KX3 and find it very
valuable.

 

Thanks for any comments

Re: [Elecraft] New radio , new display

2017-06-02 Thread Doug Person
M0MKA does have his source on github which kind of implies it's open 
source.  Elsewhere he says his code is available for non-commercial use. 
So there is a bit of a contradiction going on.  Nonetheless, Risen is 
clearly using his interface design. The Chinese view the world a little 
differently. To use something someone else has developed is somewhat of 
a compliment.  If they were moral players the would contact M0MKA and 
arrange a licensing agreement.  This, however, is unlikely to happen.  
Otherwise, M0MKA's design is very nice indeed.

Re: [Elecraft] [K3S] JT65-HF Beginner

2017-06-02 Thread Richard Ferch
If you are using Line Out with a fixed gain setting to feed audio to
WSJT-X, adjusting the AF control will not do anything. What I do is leave
my RF gain control at its normal position (around 3 o'clock) and use the
slider at the lower left in the WSJT-X window to compensate for gain
variations.

You may have better luck with running the RF Gain full and adjusting 
with the AF gain.  That way the RX AGC will smooth out variations in the

[Elecraft] Very simple remote App for K3s?

2017-06-02 Thread Jim Miller
I've been playing with remoting my K3s and now have Skype working for SSB.

I'd like to use TeamViewer to activate the simplest of K3s controls for
this purpose, i.e. PTT and adjusting the transmit frequency.

I'd like the minimum set of controls to make use with TeamViewer on the
iPhone easier to manipulate.

This app would be running on the PC attached to the K3s.

Suggestions welcome!
