Re: [Elecraft] KX3-PX3-computer

2015-02-26 Thread Stephen Prior
I have the same with the K3/P3 SVGA and my logging program (Rumlog).  If I
have the SVGA data display enabled I get almost complete rubbish sent to
the computer.  K3 displays normally.  Timing issue I expect.

If you're displaying text on the PX3, it will not also show up in the KX3 
Utility terminal window. We may provide this capability in the future.

. To turn on CW decode:  Hold TEXT, then rotate VFO B to select a receive
signal threshold (RX THR1-9). For weak signals, use low thresholds (RX
THR1-3). With strong signals, medium thresholds (RX THR4-6) provide better
copy. At very high code speeds, the highest thresholds work best (RX
THR7-9). Next, turn on CWT (CW tuning aid). Tune VFO A until the middle CWT
segment flashes in time with the incoming CW. If necessary, further adjust
the RX THR level to provide best copy

Re: [Elecraft] KX3-PX3-computer

I guess I didn't define "display" -- the text display.  I copied 
cw/psk31 fine on the KX3,  I think I got the text on the PX3 (don't 
remember), but it wasn't displaying the same on the terminal mode of the 
KX3 utility.  When I got home I checked the old emails and there is an 
issue.  I solved it (during the demo) by using fldigi, BUT it would be 
nice to have the PX3 Keyboard for input rather then NEED the computer 
for keyboard entry...  (yes, I "could" use the cw key for entry...)

IT WAS a good demo as we had four stations setup in two locations.
