Re: [Elecraft] 60 meters

The second suggestion by Don sounds like it would be "more fun" and not take up an additional five memories. BobKA2TQVOn Tuesday, June 4, 2019, 8:22:28 PM EDT, Don Wilhelm wrote: The other easy solution is to use only 5 channel hopping memories and create a Macro to move the VFO A

Re: [Elecraft] 60 meters

The other easy solution is to use only 5 channel hopping memories and create a Macro to move the VFO A up or down 1.5kHz depending on whether you stored SSB or CW frequencies in VFO A. The frequency shift is constant for all channels, so one Macro will do for all channels. Assign the Macro to

Re: [Elecraft] 60 meters

That doesn't work Wes, the problem is simpler than that.  However, Don has confirmed the behavior, and now it's time for me to be a "Real Ham" and do something here in NE Sparks NV [instead of on the list] to fix "my" problem.  Don's [and one other's] solution with 10 memories is a first-run

Re: [Elecraft] 60 meters

I do what Don suggests.  That said, I think if you do an A/B it will fix your problem, if I understand it correctly. Wes  N7WS On 6/4/2019 4:21 PM, Don Wilhelm wrote: Fred and all, I have observed what you found.  On Channel Hopping, VFO A follows the hop to the next channel, but VFO B does

Re: [Elecraft] 60 meters

Fred and all, I have observed what you found. On Channel Hopping, VFO A follows the hop to the next channel, but VFO B does not. While a "fix" may be coming sometime, it is not likely to be coming soon. So I propose a workaround. The simple solution is to set 10 channel hopping memories

Re: [Elecraft] 60 meters

This began as a simple question, I can't understand why it is so hard to explain:  K3 frequency memories hold frequency, mode, and DSP BW for both VFO A and VFO B.  I used the K3 Frequency Editor to load the CW parameters into VFO A and USB parameters into VFO B in 5 consecutive memory

Re: [Elecraft] 60 meters

While you can scan or dial through VFO A, once you "land" on a particular channel, the VFO B frequency and mode associated with that channel is available by using the VFO A/B button. I originally loaded the 60m CW frequencies in VFO A for my 60m channels since I'm more likely to use them working

Re: [Elecraft] 60 meters

I'm not sure what your question is, can you restate it? Each of the memories can be programmed so that both VFO (and mode for each if I recall, been some years) are set, in this case one VFO for USB/FT8 and the other for CW, with their specific frequencies as required. Then you would simply

Re: [Elecraft] 60 meters and the K3S

Bill, while the original post was about the 60 m channels, the K3 Memory Editor works for all frequencies for all bands.  As you note, split operation makes essentially no sense on the 5 60 m channels in the US.  It does make sense elsewhere. 73, Fred ["Skip"] K6DGW Sparks NV DM09dn Washoe

Re: [Elecraft] 60 meters and the K3S

Comments on the R & O - Effective EST on March 5, 2012. Amateurs are permitted to operate on five specific frequency channels, each having an effective bandwidth of 2.8 kHz. *Table 1:* Channel 1: 5330.5 kHz Channel 2: 5346.5 kHz Channel 3: 5357.0 kHz Channel 4: 5371.5 kHz Channel 5:

Re: [Elecraft] 60 meters and the K3S

Split on 60 meters takes two channels and is a waste of BW. Remember there is no "up 1k" on 60 meters. TX is only authorized on the channels. Sent from my iPhone ...nr4c. bill > On Sep 29, 2017, at 7:50 PM, Fred Jensen wrote: > > I used the K3 Memory Editor and set up

Re: [Elecraft] 60 meters and the K3S

I use memories 61, 62, 63, 64 & 65 for 60 meter frequencies and mode.  You can choose memories of your choice.  By doing this then pressing V-M one can "tune" through the memories.  Finding one you wish to use,then press V-M again and the radio goes there. Those frequencies are are as follows

Re: [Elecraft] 60 meters and the K3S

I used the K3 Memory Editor and set up the 5 "channels" for both CW and SSB.  Worked really slick and I could give them meaningful names that appear in VFO B.  It's on the Elecraft site, "K3/K3s, KX3, and K2 Control Software."  The memories contain both VFO A and B data, so you can set up one

Re: [Elecraft] 60 meters and the K3S

You might try the manual section on using memories. A 60 meter frequency works like any other. Also note that a "*" in the right place allows that group of memories to be selected with VFO knob. Sent from my iPhone ...nr4c. bill > On Sep 29, 2017, at 4:20 PM,

Re: [Elecraft] 60 meters and the K3S

Pete, Check page 42 of the K3S manual. What you are likely seeking is "Channel Hopping". BTW, the same thing works for other than 60 meters if you have a need - like checking the bands for DX Beacons. 73, Don W3FPR On 9/29/2017 4:20 PM, w...@comcast.net wrote: Some time back there was

Re: [Elecraft] 60 Meters for dummies - K3 Version

Mike, A couple of corrections: 1. In CW, the K3 normally uses LSB. CW-REV is USB. This makes no difference to the recommendation (in CW or CW-REV, just tune the K3's dial to the channel center). 2. In RTTY using either FSK D or AFSK A, the K3's dial displays the RTTY Mark frequency (the

Re: [Elecraft] 60 Meters for dummies - K3 Version

Do I understand where the CW transmission actually is (600 Hz above dial frequency)? Please explain. If XIT and SPLIT are off, the K3's CW transmit frequency is the displayed VFO frequency. The users desired CW pitch frequency is set with the K3's PITCH setting. If the received CW pitch
