I use an Icom SM-8 desktop and Yamaha CM500 headset with my K3. I'd like to
switch back and forth using some macro keys
- switch mics making sure only one mic is live at a time,
- shut speaker on/off
- set bias as needed
- adjust tx equalizer for the CM500 and then be able to put it back as it
I've had SteppIR antennas since 07. I have both a vertical and a beam. I run a
K3 with KPA500 in the shack. I have no relays. When changing frequencies within
a band the antennas are pretty fast. When changing bands, especially from say
80 to 10 or 40 -15 it can take several seconds for the
Yes, it can be done. The very first macro I ever did for my K3 was
switching between the front panel mic and speaker to the rear panel

Follow up on the comment I made below...
Actually, I remember that I made two macros. This is because I do CW a lot
and I wanted to switch my speaker and CM500 headphones separately from
switching the mics. So, a macro for switching speaker/headphones. And, a
macro for switching front and rear
OK Phil...thanks, if u remeber could u post the macros when you get home.
Thanks very much

Hello Elecrafters,
First of all let me say that I have RTFM, and RTFHF (read the freaking help
file) before posting this. I have read many digests both from here and on
the Elecraft KX3 Yahoo group. Greg (K2UM) has the same issue and so does
one other person (call, name uncertain). So, I am

Hi John, 111614
I just received my K3 kit on Monday and am nearly finished with the
buildl; test is next.
I too have a SteppIR vertical and have been running it with my FT450D
and YT450D LDG autotuner.
They work well in combination - and as you say quick.
I will soon be at the point of
As I stated. I have read the manua (RTFM)l and tried the EEINT proceedure
stated there. It will NOT respond to a Parameter INIT. It still says MCU

that I would have to recalibrate or load original config file after but I

be the computer (driver) got hosed and isn't sending proper data streams. Who
among us hasn't had an OS go stupid?
Then keep it simple,
It doesn't sound stupid at all, Rick. I just went through the same
exercise with a K3 I'm rebuilding. On loading it the first time, the
load failed mid-step. Trying to redo the firmware load, the utility
couldn't even find a K3 attached. But it was because of the state of

describes a procedure to recover from interrupted firmware loads. One of
several steps suggested include rebooting the computer to start the USB
I remember a problem I had a year or so ago where I was using
the K3 (Mac) utility to load all the K3 microprocessors'
firmware. I was failing on loading one of them and restarting it
did not cure the problem. I got around the problem by loading
just that specific piece of firmware. I vaguely
Randy,
MCU LD is a normal display by the KX3 when waiting for firmware to be
loaded.
It may be that the KX3 is just sitting there waiting for the computer to
feed it some data.
Because this all started during a firmware update that stopped midstream
for some unknown reason, I would suggest
OK, with the help of Rick Bates and Greg Buhyolf I have solved it.
Background (more of it): I use a PC hooked to the KX3 in the shack but I
am a Mac guy in the rest of my life. I had been trouble shooting this
issue with that PC. Since I have 3 USB brand new cables from Elecraft, I
decided to
Don,
You are correct. I tried it on a Mac with a brand new cable (I have many
extras as I have bought a lot of Elecraft toys). See my notes on the post
that just went to the reflector. Good ideas and I got to a solution just
before reading this. Thanks for the help.
On a side note, I wish I
My KX3 and KXPA100 lost connection when I was changing one of the DVR's in
the KX3. This also happened when I recently updated the Firmware and I had
to reset the settings in the KX3.
During the ARRL SS Contest, I went to change Memory 2 and found that the
KX3 lost the connection to the KXPA100.
Randy,
Re On a side note, I wish I could use a Mac in
the shack for everything natively (not in a VM
like Parallels or VMWare, etc)., you can. Just
use Bootcamp and install Windows as an alternate
boot option. I do that with my MBAir and my MBPro.
Both have solid-state drives, so re-boot is

Hi Greg. I think in Yahoo Digest 3503 you posed your question. Be sure to

Hey Randy. Ready for a surprise?
The FTDI driver is actually built in to Yosemite. Mavericks, too. That
means you don’t need to download the driver from FTDI. Why is this important?
In Yosemite, drivers must be signed. The ones on the FTDI site are not.
I didn’t believe this when I first heard

Steve,
I don't think anyone can give you proper settings for your particular
computer, you will have to find them on your own, tuned to your
particular setup.
First, make sure the audio is getting into the iMic. Plug the audio
cable into something that you know produces audio, like an MP3
Used to get a repeat of my audio I recorded when I held down M1, through
M4. If I do it now, I see the word REPEAT, I hear one run of the

Thanks and 73's,
For equipment, and
What do you have the repeat timing set to (MAIN:MSG RPT)? I bet if
you look at that, you'll find the problem. Best of luck.

I had an earlier update crash (user error) and had similar MCU Load stuck. I
checked everything on radio side then decided to check computer side.
Somewhere in the process, it assigned a new internal PC port to the usb
