[Elecraft] P3 ref level: (was)RE: Slow-scan TV (SSTV) display on the P3 and PX3?

2014-08-18 Thread Cady, Fred
In addition to the below stuff, I'd like to be able to set an automatic 
reference level.  Seems like I am always changing it to keep the waterfall 
display looking right.  
Cheers all,
Fred KE7X

I agree that per mode is more valuable than per band.  I'm nearly always 
changing span when I change modes (10 KHz on CW, 20 KHz on data, 50 or 100 KHz 
on Phone) but not generally changing span with bands unless I've also changed 
mode.

 Would it make more sense for it to be per-mode rather than per-band? For 
 example, I can imagine on CW you might want to zoom in more than on SSB. 
 Maybe some P3 owners can comment?

 We just added per-band SPAN settings to the PX3 (and will later add it to 
 the P3). We're also adding a menu setting to quantize the SPAN selections 
 to 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 kHz. This behavior would be 
 user-selectable; the default would be continuously variable, as it is at 
 present.

 For a lot of P3/PX3 users, the combination of these two changes will result 
 in less manipulation of the SPAN control, and will save some Fn switches 
 for other uses.

 I'm still working at what the ideal span on my P3 would be, in the NAQP 
 SSB yesterday, I had it at 100 KHz and it seemed pretty good.

 I have five of the function keys programmed for different span settings. 
 The other three are Peak Toggle, Fixed Mode Toggle, and Noise Blanker 
 Toggle.

 I use 2 kHz for looking at the quality of CW signals, 10 kHz for most CW 
 pileups, 50 kHz, 100 kHz, and 200 kHz for contesting and general 
 operating. I did have 20 kHz programmed, but gave that up for the NB 
 toggle.

 Before each contest, I'll run through all the bands and set up the span 
 and centering. 50/60 kHz is pretty good for Sprints and state QSO parties, 
 100 kHz is good for most CW contests, 200 kHz is not wide enough for some 
 SSB contests.

 For 6M, I set a 200 kHz span from 50.080 to 50.280. This lets me see CW, 
 SSB, and JT65.

I guess any sort of mouse control of these and possibly other parameters is 
out of the question (???)
