Re: [Elecraft] K3 MD command question

2021-04-16 Thread Jim Brown
Hi Bob, You're seriously overthinking this, perhaps due to a failure to RTFM. On sideband, Elecraft firmware automatically defaults to the "right sideband" for each ham band. If you choose either of the RTTY modes, it will default to LSB. If you choose DATA A, it will automatically switch to

Bob, I suggest you set up SSB as you want it - Compression and TX EQ as well. Then for digital, use DATA A - it automatically turns off compression and TX EQ. All that can be accomplished with VFO A, no involvement with VFO B unless you invoke it. Know that a double tap of A>B will transfer

A number of people have asked what I am trying to do with the macros, so here is a quick explanation. In a normal day I'm switching between CW, digital and sideband frequently. CW is easy: VFO B is always set the way I want it for CW. Digital and sideband have to share VFO A (too bad there

Bob, I believe you are ignoring the ALT button (hold of the left side of the Mode button). Why use a Macro?  Set  the K3 to SSB on the band of interest and change the mode with the MODE button to select SSB the normal sideband for that band, If it is not correct, hold the left side of the

2021-04-16 Thread Bob Applegate
I’ve been trying to set up a macro to automatically choose the correct sideband (USB/LSB) for the current band but have not found a way to do this. The MD command allows specifying the mode, but there does not appear to be an option to select the “proper” sideband mode for the current band.

Rich, That restore function is available in KX3 Utility - Restore Configuration.  Of course you should have saved a configuration so you can restore it.  Save a configuration any time you make significant changes to your KX3 (not a firmware update).  The file is placed in your computer.
