RE: [Elecraft] Re: K3 Beta firmware rev. 2.72: updated DVR support, etc.
Great! Please add one more to be able to completely empty an SSB message rather than record something short over it. How about REC select M1 - M4 CLR select same M1 - M4 rig returns to operation. While it does not seem to be documented, someone discovered (wish I could remember who so credit could be given) that putting the im by itself into a memory M1 - M4 on CW would result in emptying that memory - much better than just overwriting it with a dit which does result in a xmitted signal and amp relays tripping when inadvertently pushed in the heat of battle!

Re: [Elecraft] Re: K3 Beta firmware rev. 2.72: updated DVR support, etc.
I have used my K3 with the second receiver installed in CQWW CW as 8Q7DV. Just two requests for the future firmware releases: 1) Would be useful to have two receivers work on different bands. I know it is on the plan but this is so important that I have decided to remind about it again. 2) When I want to hear main receiver in both ears I simply switch sub rx off. It would be nice to be able to listen to sub rx in both ears as well. Is it possible? 73, Igor UA9CDC ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.

Do you mean to say that, as it is now, the sub receiver (2nd receiver) cannot be on a different band? What is the use of having a 2nd independent receiver if you cannot use it totally separate from the main receiver?

Re: [Elecraft] Re: K3 Beta firmware rev. 2.72: updated DVR support, etc.
Stan, The K3 errata sheet lists under omissions - last bullet - Independent sub receiver settings for BAND PRE, ATTN, NB, NR, NOTCH. So for *now*, independent band settings are not possible. It will be available in a future firmware release. Keep watch on the firmware notes to see when it arrives. 73, Don W3FPR [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Do you mean to say that, as it is now, the sub receiver (2nd receiver) cannot be on a different band?

Do you mean to say that, as it is now, the sub receiver (2nd receiver) cannot be on a different band? What is the use of having a 2nd independent receiver if you cannot use it totally separate from the main receiver? 1. For tuning the same band you are CQing on. During the short listen times between your CQs, you can find unworked stations in other parts of the same band. 2. For diversity reception, running a different antennas into the two receivers. The best way to simultaneously work on another band is to use a second radio. Different band operation with the two K3 receivers is a planned enhancement for the future.

Hi, 2) When I want to hear main receiver in both ears I simply switch sub rx off. It would be nice to be able to listen to sub rx in both ears as well. Is it possible? Yes this is missing. It would also be good to be able to turn the main RX off at times, especially when using the internal measurement system to check the filter attenuation, i.e. when setting up the amplification factors for the individual filters in the second RX. vy 73 de toby ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
