Re: [Elecraft] PTT plus VOX -- possible?

Bob, The easy way to do it: Connect audio line-output from N1MM to the line-in (mono) of the K3 and set the VOX to on. Set in the menu mic+lin to ON. This will allow the pc and your mic to trigger the vox of the K3. If you still want to ptt the K3 from N1mm, which is better, then this ptt

Re: [Elecraft] PTT plus VOX -- possible?

Just try it.  I think the PTT is always on and the toggle just turns VOX on and off so you either have PTT and VOX or just PTT.   Willis 'Cookie' Cooke K5EWJ Trustee N5BPS, USS Cavalla, USS Stewart From: n...@comcast.net n...@comcast.net To: .

Re: [Elecraft] PTT stuck? Error?

I have seen this issue caused by rf induction (when using an amp) on the Kusb cable (If you have pc connected). A ferrite snap on with the cable wound through the snap-on ferrite as many times as will stop this issue. I also fitted a Coilcraft RS-232 filter between the K3 and the cable DB-9

Re: [Elecraft] PTT stuck? Error?

Adrian, While that is a fix, the actual problem is the level of RF in the shack. If it creates problems such as that, it makes me wonder what other problems may be created as well. The antenna balance (and/or use of effective baluns), the proximity of the antenna to the shack, and rf on the

Re: [Elecraft] PTT stuck? Error?

Dave, Put a balun on your antenna. Seriously, that is likely being caused by RF in the shack, and the only cure is to work on your antenna system to minimize it. 73, Don W3FPR On 11/24/2010 9:08 PM, david beckwith wrote: A quick question. I have a Heil Proset headset into the front of the

Re: [Elecraft] PTT RLS

PTT RLS is the delay between you releasing the PTT and the K3 changing from TX to RX. It is used in ARQ data modes such as Amtor or Pactor to allow time to clear the data from the TX (DSP introduces delays in the K3 IF). The values are in milliseconds, typically set to 012 for using an SCS PTC

Re: [Elecraft] PTT-KEY setting for use with Writelog and DX4WIN

First, Set the K3 just like you would for QSK (or semi-break-in, if that's what you want), and get it working with your paddle or bug. Now, without changing anything, set the K3 CONFIG:PTT-KEY to OFF-DTR. Now, go into WriteLog and tell it to send CW on the same COM port that you're using for

I think this is another case of a need for a simple block diagram. Somehow this was made to appear complicated. It really isn't. Here are the three rules: 1) If you want the transmitter on, press PTT. 2) If you want the receiver on, don't press PTT. 3) If you don't want to bother with
