Re: [Elecraft] k3 Mic gain self resetting to 1

My thinking was to restore from an earlier workspace then reinstall the IC-7300 but I will take a look at the controls first. I don't remember making any recent changes to to the control configuration. Russ, KG7VQ __ Elecraft

[Elecraft] k3 Mic gain self resetting to 1

2023-06-17 Thread Andy Durbin
Since you use DXLab I'd suggest checking Commander's "User-defined Controls" configuration. Is there a slider for Mic gain? If so, is it configured to "Initialize radio"? In Commander click "Help" then select "sliders" for more info. Andy, k3wyc

Why take out the 2nd radio? The problem is in the configuration of the software on the computer. Victor 4X6GP On Sat, Jun 17, 2023, 06:26 Russ Edelen wrote: > Thanks Victor, you called it. Started the K3 and it started with the > correct mic controls. Booted the computer and started DXLab

Thanks Victor, you called it. Started the K3 and it started with the correct mic controls. Booted the computer and started DXLab modules and the mic gain reverted to 1. Now I know where to look. Will start by removing the second radio, which installed when I sent the K3 back to Elecraft, and

Try this: shut down the computer, and turn the gain (etc.) to their correct settings. Then turn the K3 off and on again. Do the settings reset? If so, the problem is in the K3. If not, it has something to do with the computer and the program. 73, Victor, 4X6GP Rehovot, Israel Formerly K2VCO

Some further info. Logging and control is via DXlab suite set up per the wiki through a serial port. The controls respond in both directions and the radio functions as expected during nets and general operation after the mic settings are adjusted. The problem only occurs at startup. The k3 and

I forgot to add -- It's also possible (probable?) that your computer program is doing it. Plug in a key or mic and try transmitting without the computer connected. 73, Victor, 4X6GP Rehovot, Israel Formerly K2VCO CWops no. 5 http://www.qsl.net/k2vco/ On 16/06/2023 16:46, Russ Edelen wrote:

You can determine if it's caused by RFI very easily. Try transmitting into a dummy load. 73, Victor, 4X6GP Rehovot, Israel Formerly K2VCO CWops no. 5 http://www.qsl.net/k2vco/ On 16/06/2023 16:46, Russ Edelen wrote: After returning from Elecraft for repair and updating my K3 (1087) will reset

After returning from Elecraft for repair and updating my K3 (1087) will reset it's Mic gain to 1 and Compression to zero. I backed up the radio's configuration when I get it back and reloading it does not solve the problem, which occurs at boot up more times then not. This is a barefoot
