Re: [Elecraft] Computer Boot Up Keys the K3S

[Lyle Johnson]

See the firmware release notes.  There is a setting to help with this.

...the solution.  you could disable keying from the RTS or DTR in the 
menues  but if you are using that to say send CW from your computer 
that is a poor option.


When I boot up my computer it keys the K3s Radio. I seem to remember 
there

is a setting in the K3s Radio to prevent this?

Re: [Elecraft] Computer Boot Up Keys the K3S

[dmoes]

nothing new here  My K3 does this as well

the computers serial port will toggle the DTR and RTS several times 
during the boot process.   some computers more or less.   My laptop 
will hold it on until I launch  a program that accesses the port like 
VSPE or a logging program.


the solution.  you could disable keying from the RTS or DTR in the 
menues  but if you are using that to say send CW from your computer 
that is a poor option.


My solution is this.  I either turn off the K3 when the computer boots 
or hold the TX TEST  to disable transmit. untill the computer has 
completed the boot.

Re: [Elecraft] Computer Boot Up Keys the K3S

[kevino z]

Do you have it on vox mode, and perhaps the K3S sound card is set to default 
sound device  (and windows startup sound is triggering the Vox)?

Re: [Elecraft] Computer Boot Up Keys the K3S

[Cady, Fred]

Hi Irwin,

Here is the poop from firmware
MCU 5.33 / DSP 2.86 / FPF 1.23, 8-3-2015

* DIVERSITY WORKS WITH MISMATCHED MAIN/SUB RX FILTERS:  Diversity mode in the 
K3S (or a K3 with the KSYN3A installed) now works with any combination of 
main/sub RX crystal filters. They can have different bandwidths or offsets, and 
it's not necessary to have an equal number of filters in each receiver. Note: 
Matched filters are optimal for diversity, but non-matched filters will still 
perform well.

* PTT/KEY USE WITH THE USB PORT IMPROVED:  PC applications can activate PTT and 
KEY at the K3S via the USB port's RTS/DTR signals. However, initial setup of 
the rig's USB port by the PC may cause pulsed or continuous activation of the 
transmitter. This can happen if the computer is turned on after the K3S, or if 
the USB cable is not connected. There is now a "Safe" mode (the default) which 
disables PTT-KEY transmit until the K3S receives a command via USB, such as a 
read of the rig's VFO frequency. To turn on safe mode on/off, go into 
CONFIG:PTT-KEY and tap '1' to select "USB SAFE" or "UNSAFE". Exit the menu and 
turn the K3S off/on. Applications that use PTT-KEY via USB but never send 
commands may require "UNSAFE" mode. In this case, unwanted transmit can be 
avoided by turning the PC on before the K3S.

* CANCELLING UNEXPECTED PTT-KEY ACTIVATION:  If an external source (usually a 
PC) activates PTT or KEY unexpectedly, you can cancel transmit by tapping the 
XMIT switch. This will show ERR KEY or ERR PTT on VFO B. Once the PTT or KEY 
source as been removed, transmit will be re-enabled. If the cause may be 
unneeded PTT-KEY activation via the USB port, go into the CONFIG:PTT-KEY menu 
entry and set the parameter to OFF-OFF.

Cheers,

Fred KE7X

Yep, boot the computer before you turn on the radio.

Re: [Elecraft] Computer Boot Up Keys the K3S

[Fred Jensen]

Ahhh yes.  I had a similar problem very recently and the list solved it 
for me.  I'll pass it on ...


Hold MENU for CONFIG
VFOB to PTT_KEY
VFOA to OFF-OFF
MENU

I think CONFIG-->TECH MD must be on.

If you use RTS and/or DTR to key your rig from a computer, you'll have 
to set these back where they belong.
