Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Time Out Timer
I am running WSIT-X, but anything on the computer that could activate the VOX, PTT, or CW key line could cause the KX3 to hang in transmit on a variety of modes. I only run 500mw on WSPR so the PA Hi Temp Limit should not be relied on to stop transmission. It would be nice if the KX3 had a TOT to protect itself from any external devices. de George WD0AKZ dit – dit From: rich hurd WC3T Sent: Wednesday, August 01, 2018 11:00 AM To: George Pasek Cc: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Time Out Timer WSJT-X has a watchdog.

This is always a good idea. It should be on all of the radios.. 73 Tom Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.

WSJT-X has a watchdog. Of course that's only useful if that's what you are running. :) On Wed, Aug 1, 2018 at 10:20 George Pasek wrote: > Maybe I was asleep in class the day this was discussed, but is there a TOT > for the KX3 transmitter?

[Elecraft] KX3 Time Out Timer
Maybe I was asleep in class the day this was discussed, but is there a TOT for the KX3 transmitter? Now that I am running my KX3 a lot on WSPR I was thinking that it would be a good idea to have a TOT that would shut down the transmitter if a computer failure should keep the VOX or PTT active for more than 2 minutes. I did look through the Menu items and did a Google search before wasting bandwidth here but I did not find anything. tnx de George WD0AKZ dit – dit --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus __ 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
