[Elecraft] [K3] Feature request - based on the KX2
The KX2 now allows 4 separate programmable functions when the "PFn" key is pressed. That would be a nice feature on the K3 for the PF1 and PF2 buttons. There are many times now when I disconnect the USB cable from the rig as I have found a large (10 to 20 dB) increase in noise floor on some bands when the cable is connected. (I have tried a few things to fight the noise floor increase but no success so far). 73, John W2XS -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
[Elecraft] [K3] Feature Request: memory write-locks
I use 0 through 9 on the K2 and K3 as permanent "jump to band; configure appropriately" memories. This normally works great, but I have a frustrating habit of accidentally pressing STORE or V->M when I mean to press RCL or M->V, and there go my settings. I'm not expecting a K2 update :), but perhaps there might be a bit lying about in each K3 memory for a toggleable write-lock? __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

[Elecraft] K3 feature request - Stop the KAT500 Relay Switch in Split
The KAT500 relay switch over between two in-band segments is driving me nuts. A lot of DXpeditions on 160 use 1823.0Khz for transmit listening up 1-5khz. Every time the K3 goes from A RX to B TX, and back again, it involves a cur-chunk from the KAT500 whether the tuner is in Auto or Manual. It happens where ever there is a segment boundary but is particularly annoying in the DX portions of the CW bands. Would it be possible to alter the K3's firmware to recognize a Split or XIT from the K3 as a Transmit on B VFO or XIT only? I know it would not affect owners of rigs other than the K3/K3s.

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft K3 Feature Request - Main: ALARM - Tap 4 to activate reminder to ID
I think there should be a conelrad alert system built in also, since the K3 can cover the BC band and knows when the alert system would go off, have the display blink the entire display for national alerts. If the VHF option was installed it could also pick up the weather alert signals and warnings and flash that on the screen.., Of course in a conelrad alert it should disable the transmitter immediately per regulations. There should also be a roger beep sent when unkeying the mike so that you know your no longer transmitting and the other station can hear when you stop for sure, so they do not double on your transmission. Something new other than the standard beep we hear, perhaps a ding dong type sound. Just a few more features and the K3 could be the best general radio on the market. 73 Merv K9FD/KH6 Nice, Key on the PTT key, you would get one more warning 10 minutes (or 9) after your last transmit then no more.

I use CW when in SSB when on 6m a lot, but I jeep the paddles in a clear area where nothing can touch them except my thumb and forefinger. Even then I bump them anyway. Joe is right!

Re: [Elecraft] K3 feature request 'CW in SSB' change
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the request, but it doesn't seem like a good idea to me. Imagine I'm on 6m during a contest with CW in SSB enabled. I'm keying the radio with the computer, so I have the VOX-QSK button set to PTT. I'm on phone, but I want to answer someone on CW. So now I won't be able to send CW without engaging the VOX? Or, if I was using the radio with a transverter, I'd have to run VOX and likely blow up my preamp? Sorry, but I'd vote no on that. 73, Arliss W7XU so my request is this if 'CW in SSB' is set on and the K3 is in SSB when the [VOX-QSK] button is pushed to turn the mike/vox off can you somehow tell the software to also *not* allow my cw key or keyer to cause the K3 to transmit the cw tones? __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

[Elecraft] K3 feature request, separate monitor tx-audio levels for speakers and line-out
Recording of TX audio is possible since: MCU 2.72 / DSP 1.98, 12-9-2008 Misc. Changes: ** LINE OUT INCLUDES TX AUDIO: LINE OUT (*nor* menu setting) now includes transmit sidetone and speech/data monitor audio. The monitor audio level is the same for the speakers (headphone) as for the line-out. It would be nice if monitor tx-audio levels could be set separate of each other for recording and streaming purposes . Fixed level TX monitor line out is ok too if that makes things easier. Monitor addition for example: MON-speaker-level (front, MON as we know now) MON-line-level (somewhere in the menu, once set not often changed) This way the Monitor TX audio level for recording or streaming is independent from the operator's preference to monitor the tx-audio.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 feature request - auto-changing tuning rate
Greetings -- This is probably well known to mose but for those who may be interested in changing frequencies/modes within a band...What I do is assign each band to a button 160-10 -- buttons 1 thru 9. (6 meters on 0). Then when I am on a given band, I use the DVR/memory buttons to save additional frequencies -- a bit like band stacking registers but I have to push two buttons instead of one (MV, and the DVR memory key). I use memory 1 for a favorite frequency on cw, memory 2 for the PSK31 frequency on the given band (also saving mode), memory 3 for rtty (also saving mode), and memory 4 for a favorite frequency in the phone band. I'm never too far away from operating where I want to be. (If you wish, you can also save VFO A frequency significantly far away from VFO B frequency and use a/b to move from one end of a sub band to the other, also) Of course you can also input a frequency using the numeric buttons which is fairly quick also. 73 de Greg-N4CC __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Elecraft] K3 feature request - auto-changing tuning rate
To go from CW to SSB requires no knob spinning at all, Just set two of the memory buttons, one for each mode, and they are band dependent so each band has its own settings. That way it changes modes, filters, freq etc all in one push of the button. Operates somewhat like band stacking, if you want more setting per band just use the other Mem buttons. 73 Merv K9FD/KH6 i do tire of spinning that know from ssb to cw. what's the harm if it can be shut off?? pse ...when you have some spare time wayne bill ny9h/3 10:41 AM 3/3/2012, Jim McDonald wrote: I would like that too.

[Elecraft] K3 feature request, DUAL PB, VFO A-B independence
Chasing a rare one operating split on RTTY, I will use the SUB RX and two MMTTY windows so that I can see what's going on up in frequency. I'll have the bandwidth narrow on VFO A and wide on the SUB RX. Sometimes I'll hunt for a clear spot and sometimes I'll hunt for the station being worked. Occasionally I will turn on the Dual PB to help copy the DX station. Unfortunately this also causes the SUB to go into DPB. If I go into BSet and turn off the DPB it also turns it off in VFO A. So obviously there is no VFO independence for the DPB feature. I would like to request that the DPB feature have VFO independence. 73, Mike K2MK -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-feature-request-DUAL-PB-VFO-A-B-independence-tp6253667p6253667.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

[Elecraft] K3 Feature request
Now that the K144XV is available and a lot of us are planning to use it to drive microwave transverters, it would be really nice if there was some way to easily adjust IF gain. I know there was a gain change after 3.97 so it appears this is available in the firmware. Is there a way that along with RF freq, IF freq and offset offered in the XV config that there could be a gain per band setting added? When you add a transverters, most times the transverter has a fair amount of conversion gain and having the S-meter sit at S5 with noise doesn't help dynamic range. For eme'ers, we typically have lots of gain in preamps that drives the S-meter up. Using the ATT works but it's either in or out, nothing in between. Just a thought.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Feature Request
For each voice, polarity only needs to be set once for each mic source. For crystal, ceramic, and dynamic mics, that can usually be accomplished by inverting the polarity at the mic element. Most folks who take AM polarity seriously are also using some other intermediate audio processing device with balanced input/output terminations. In that case, inverting polarity is as easy as flipping conductors on one balanced audio pair. For tiny electret mics without any additional processing, the problem becomes a bit more complex to resolve but then, I don't know of many folks using electrets on AM. If a phase scrambler were part of the K3's DSP, any thought as to how much DSP resource utilization is required?

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Feature Request
Years ago in a land far far away we discontinued using the Semetra-Peak (sp??) on AM in favor of the then new CBS Labs audio processers ( Audimax/Volumax (sp??)) which did a much better job of increasing the average modulation with far fewer artifacts. We did retain the boom mic phase reversal switch for those jocks that insisted that they sounder louder on reverse. Eventually the switch rusted in place!

For tiny electret mics without any additional processing, the problem becomes a bit more complex to resolve but then, I don't know of many folks using electrets on AM. If a phase scrambler were part of the K3's DSP, any thought as to how much DSP resource utilization is required?

[Elecraft] K3 Feature Request
For AM users, could we get the ability to invert the voice phase as a feature of the K3? This would allow us to make sure that the audio phase orientation is correct where the positive peaks are always greater than the negative peaks. Even better, it would be cool if the rig could auto detect an incorrect phase orientation and invert it automatically for us.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Feature Request
OK, thanks for the education. I'm not an RF engineer, but every product on the market I've come across (doesn't mean much) and discussion I've read (start with http://www.nu9n.com/am.html) calls what I'm talking about as phase inversion. They could all be using the wrong term for all I know. I currently am able to achieve what I'm looking for by using the W2IHY iPlus in the audio chain driving the K3. You just flip the Invert Phase switch when you need it. There are Behringer products that do the same thing. You can SEE the difference it makes on a scope or even a simple AVG reading power meter when you have correct phase. For example, on an AVG reading meter, with negative or incorrect phase, you actually see negative deflection on the meter needle. When you have it correct, you see positive deflection on the meter needle. It's more obvious on the scope, as pointed out on NU9N's site. I don't currently have a scope, but I've done the same tests in the past. It would be really cool if the K3 could do this too.

Yep, that's exactly what I'm thinking. You either do it automatically or give the user the ability to switch it themselves. For the UI, it could be as simple as an additional option in the EQ settings for AM mode (press and hold 1 to Invert Phase, or something like that...). I think you guys get the idea.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Feature Request - Stopping CW Memory Playback with PTT
Gary,
You should use the ability in N1MM to control the K3 DVR. I think I might
have bought the K3 to get this capability alone.
Here are the key definitions to use in N1MM to access the 4 K3 DVR memories:
F1 CQ,{CATA1ASC K31;SWT21;}
F2 Exch,{CATA1ASC K31;SWT31;}
F3 Thanks!,{CATA1ASC K31;SWT35;}
F4 {MYCALL},{CATA1ASC K31;SWT39;}
See more at Iain N6ML's website here:
http://www.dseven.org/ar/n1mm-kdvr3
Then, whether you are sending CW or SSB, it's the same keys on the keyboard
regardless of mode.
It will help your contest scores greatly.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Feature Request - Stopping CW Memory Playback with PTT
On my K-3 touching the dit paddle will interrupt transmission of a CW message from memory. It reminds me quite a bit of the coastal stations when they used to send CW. Stations such as WCC would be sending their ID tapes and all of a sudden you heard a single dit and the tape would stop. The operator would send that dit when he heard a ship calling. My K-3 works in much the same fashion. If I am using QSK while sending a CW message from memory if IE or anything all I need to do is touch the dit paddle and my transmission stops.

[Elecraft] [K3] Feature request - Repeater Offset (Or not) saved per VFO?
Hi everyone, I don't know if this has been asked for before, nor do I know if indeed it can be implemented but I'd like to see each VFO save its splits etc when changing between VFO A B. To illustrate what I mean, I currently have 146.675MHz FM with a -600KHz offset setup in VFO A. I also have 146.500MHz FM setup in VFO B. (That I use in simplex mode) The problem is that the repeater offset stays on, no matter which VFO is in use and what I'd like is for the K3 to save the offset setting per VFO so that as I change VFO's, I also change from using a repeater offset to working simplex without having to remember to change the offset back to simplex manually. Can this be done?

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Feature Request - Independent Selection of Mic Gain F/R
Andy, I use DXLab's Commander, its rig control module, with its user-defined sequences to do this. They are DXLab's equivalent of K3 macros. I have one to switch between the two mic inputs and set the TXEQ for each. My setup has a PR781 on the front input and a Heil Proset Plus on the rear. I have no EQ on the Proset and quite a bit on the PR781. If you use DXLab I can send you the text file.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Feature request
Mike, The contour is nothing more than a Notch/Dip filter or a Peak filter (you can change it's function in the menu). Basically you center the contour in the center of the pass band (pitch freq) and you can set it to either Push up that signal (no different than if you set your Pitch freq. to 400hz and went into your RX EQ and turned up the EQ 400Hz setting to +1 - +16) or suppress (Turn down your 400Hz -1 to -16 on that freq.) the pass band area. The reason I chose 400Hz is because unlike the contour which can variably move through the entire pass band area (600Hz - 900Khz) , with the K3 you only get a specific Freq. settings for each EQ setting.. 400Hz happens to be one. I belive there's another for 800Hz as well.. If you can stand to listen to your CW tone that high... So there you have it.. You have a Suedo Contour feature on your K3 already...

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Feature request
Actually you can't do that with the K3 at narrower bandwidths in CW. The RX EQ is deactivated at narrower filter settings. (Unless this changed in a recent firmware release). I don't recall what the cutoff width is and I can't find it described in the latest manual. There is also a minor annoyance with using +db settings in the RX EQ for CW because as the filter width is decreased, there will be a noticeable decrease in volume when you hit the point at which the RX EQ is deactivated. Also as you indicated, 400Hz or 800Hz for peaking may not be everyone's cup of tea. Maybe this is a good time to suggest an adjustable audio peak filter. 73, Mike K2MK The Smiths wrote: Mike, The contour is nothing more than a Notch/Dip filter or a Peak filter (you can change it's function in the menu).
