Re: [Elecraft] KX3 CW Decode question

[rich hurd WC3T]

Thanks to all.   I also confirmed this experimentally.   However, even
turning decode off on the rig, I still get spurious dropped characters from
the utility.

It's not a showstopper to me because (a) I'm not looking to bring the
computer along on field expeditions, and (b) I'm hoping at some near point
in the future to use the CW decoder that is between my ears.   Hi hi.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 CW Decode question

[Cady, Fred]

You must have the KX3 decoding to display text on the PX3.  The PX3 doesn't 
decode.  What you shouldn't do is try to display on the PX3 and the KX3 Utility 
at the same time.


Note: To display CW, RTTY or PSK decoded signals on the PX3, you must activate 
text decoding on the KX3.

Make sure that you do not have the KX3 Utility Terminal program active to 
display and send text while you are trying to use the PX3 keyboard, or vice 
verse.  The KX3’s text decode can be fed to only one place.  You will see 
dropped characters if the utility is active when using the keyboard.  They both 
cannot be used at the same time.


Cheers,

Fred KE7X

Hi Tom (or anyone else who knows),

Does this also hold true for the decode function in the KX3 and the PX3?
Should I not run those simultaneously either?  Or is it only the
interaction between the hardware and the utility program?

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 CW Decode question

[tomb18]

HiYes it applies there as well. When you use software that is reading the 
decoded CW, it is requesting the characters from the radio. Same thing with the 
p3 and px3. They end up competing with each other. So if you use software to 
get the CW, turn off the p3 or px3 decoing. 73 Tom

[Elecraft] K3S/P3-SVGA CW Decode - P3 Power Cycle

I have always had problems using the K3 Utility to change configurations from

another mode to CW, as I could see text decode on the K3S VFO B display area

after a restore to my CW configuration but not on the P3-SVGA external

display without a lot of fiddling. I see now that simply turning the P3

on/off is required after a configuration restore to get that text decode to

display.



I would make a note of that but would just forget where I put it. Now, it's

right here for me to find!

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 CW Decode

[Nr4c]

It seems you turned text decode to TX only. This will decode what you send with 
paddles (not hand key) but will not decode received stations.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 CW Decode

[Don Wilhelm]

Aaron,

To decode CW, you need to be in CW mode, not DATA.
You need to set the TEXT entry to TX only.  See the Text Decode and 
Display in the manual.

[Elecraft] KX3 CW Decode

[Aaron K5ATG]

I am in the process of learning CW and I am having a little bit of issue
with my KX3 on decoding CW. I am wanting it to be able to decode CW on TX
only so I can work on sending. By pressing the DATA button I selected TX
ONLY and I have the power setting at 0.0 watts into a dummy load. I am
using the plug in paddles for the KX3. However it will not decode anything.
I tuned to a strong signal and tried the different RX Thresholds and it
would not decode anything there either. I am not sure if I have it set up
right or I am missing a setting or something. Can anyone please help?

Thank you
