[Elecraft] K3S - N1MM+ CW Message Transmit Decode Question
Thanks Rich. I appreciate the detailed response. Makes sense to me now. 73, Marty - N1VH On 8/18/2017 1:05 PM, Richard Ferch wrote: > Any idea why the K3S decodes the CW message transmission using the CAT > command, but not the MYCALL command?

First off, when you use the CAT command the radio is not decoding transmitted CW at all, it is simply echoing the ASCII text you sent to it in the command. Second, the only transmitted CW the K3/K3S can decode is keying from the paddle input to the radio's internal CW keyer. Keying input from a straight key, a computer or an external keyer, whether it comes into the radio on the DTR line of the radio control port or via the CW Key jack, does not get decoded. 73, Rich VE3KI __ 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

And if we want to program K3 or K3S memories, we must either send with a paddle connected to the K3/K3S keyer port or program them using the K3/K3S Utility. That's one reason that, even though my primary paddle feeds a WinKey compatible keyer in my YCCC SO2R box, I always have separate paddles connected directly to both radios in my SO2R setup. 73, Jim K9YC __ 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

[Elecraft] K3S - N1MM+ CW Message Transmit Decode Question
I have my K3S set up in N1MM+ as suggested on pages 187 & 188 of the Fred Cady
manual (38400,N,8,1,CW,Always Off). The radio is set to RS232 = USB and
PTT-KEY = OFF-dtr.
CW Transmit Message Decode Behavior: (.mf file)
When the function key (eg. f4) is set to '{MYCALL}', the radio transits as
expected, but does NOT decode the CW mycall transmission.
When the function key is set to ‘{CATA1ASC KY *;}’, the radio transmits and
DECODES the CW mycall transmission.
I get similar results for all of the function keys. Transmit decodes with CAT
command, does not the standard command.
Any idea why the K3S decodes the CW message transmission using the CAT command,
but not the MYCALL command? I have verified that the radio is transmitting in
both cases. I have tried various decode threshold values as well.
Thanks.
73,
