[Elecraft] RIT switch number?
Mark, The RIT SW# is SWT47; There is also a RIT command, RT RT (RIT Control; GET/SET) SET/RSP format: RTn; where n is 0 (RIT OFF) or 1 (RIT ON). RIT is disabled in QRQ CW mode. There are a few others, see page 23 of the programmer's manual Vers. G3. -- Carl AB1DD Resistance is futile.

[Elecraft] RIT behavior when computer controlled / Possible Feature Request
Hello, I'm curious if RIT on the KX3 should behave the way it does when under computer control. (CAT commands.) As a basis for comparison, this workflow does exactly what I would expect. 1. Tune to a CW transmit frequency. 2. Press and hold the [OFS/VFO B] button to clear RIT. 3. Press the [RIT] button to enable RIT. 4. Call CQ, operator responds off frequency. 5. Adjust the [OFS/VFO B] button to get the receive frequency close. 6. Press the [SPOT] button to zero in on the precise receive frequency. (Transmit frequency remains as it was originally.) Steps 5 and 6 work fine, although precious seconds are gone during this process, and, depending on how close I get with step 5 (and the filter setting), the SPOT could hunt for additional seconds. During the SPOT process, the RIT offset adjustments are continuously displayed in the VFO B screen area. This works, but is time-inefficient. (I will probably miss their call sign.) My particular (preferred) scenario: I am 100% a CW operator. I use CW Skimmer, basically as my panadapter. CW Skimmer, using CAT commands, can snap the KX3 to a precise receive frequency with a mouse click. (Basically the same effect as SPOT, but quicker.) Assume that steps 1 through 4 are the same as above. Instead of steps 5 and 6, I would like to be able to click on a the operator's off-frequency response within CW Skimmer and have the KX3 behave the same as the [SPOT] button. After all, they are essentially the same thing, one just happens to be driven remotely (CAT Command), the other using a local button press (SPOT button). However, the KX3 changes the receive frequency, but does not adjust the RIT offset. So what that means is the new receive frequency is now the transmit frequency. Not what I would expect with RIT in effect. Is there a setting to get the behavior that I want? If not, I would like to kindly put in an enhancement request. 73, Mark K7MJG -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/RIT-behavior-when-computer-controlled-Possible-Feature-Request-tp7573247.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
Re: [Elecraft] RIT behavior when computer controlled / Possible Feature Request
Mark, I believe the results of what you are seeing is dependent on the commands issued by CW Skimmer. The KX3 can do as you request if it is given the correct commands (in the correct order). You might want to ask the CW Skimmer folks to implement your request. 73, Don W3FPR On 4/29/2013 8:24 PM, K7MJG wrote: Hello, I'm curious if RIT on the KX3 should behave the way it does when under computer control.

Re: [Elecraft] RIT behavior when computer controlled / Possible Feature Request
Hi Mark, The KX3 is doing exactly what it's being told to do - i.e. change its VFO A frequency to whatever you clicked on. CW Skimmer assumes that you will be listening to the audio that it decodes from the I/F, and not the audio coming from the radio's receiver. If you want CW Skimmer to attempt to manipulate the KX3's RIT, you'd have to request that from VE3NEA (CW Skimmer author), but I can't see it happening. As a workaround, you could turn on Split and set VFO B to the same as A (AB), then when you click on an off-frequency caller, your receive frequency will change but your transmit will not. 73, ~iain / N6ML On Mon, Apr 29, 2013 at 5:24 PM, K7MJG mgl...@cox.net wrote: Hello, I'm curious if RIT on the KX3 should behave the way it does when under computer control.

Rick- This is a great feature for large QSYs. In my manual (revision D2), it's on page 59 at the bottom. In the VFO CRS entry, it says to set CONFIG:VFO OFS to ON. (Well, maybe I should have directed you to the VFO OFS entry on page 60 first.)

[Elecraft] RIT?
I'm not sure how this is supposed to work and I can not find an answer in the K3 manual. When I first got my K3, I thought when I was tuning RIT that my receiver frequency changed but the VFO A display did not. Now when I change RIT, VFO A frequency reading also changes and to me, this is indicating my tx frequency is being shifted also. I have CONFIG:VFO OFS set to OFF and RIT CLR set to UNDO OFF. Can someone please tell me the 'normal' operation of RIT? Thanks.

Re: [Elecraft] RIT?
Tommy, I tried my RIT and I agree that the VFO A frequency appears to move as you turn the RIT knob. But if you transmit, the VFO A frequency reverts back to the original frequency. I suppose it might be better to keep the VFO A frequency the same and only show the offset +/- setting for RIT in the VFO B display. That might be less confusing. I never noticed the issue until you pointed it out.

Re: [Elecraft] RIT?
Hi Tom, This is correct. In receive mode, the RIT amount is added to the VFO A display. But when you go into transmit mode, the RIT offset is taken back out (try using XMIT to see this). You can turn XIT on if you want the offset to apply to both RX and TX. If you want to see the RIT offset at all times, tap DISP and rotate VFO B until you see the offset (0.00, etc.). 73, Wayne N6KR On Sep 30, 2010, at 4:36 PM, Tommy Alderman wrote: I'm not sure how this is supposed to work and I can not find an answer in the K3 manual.

Re: [Elecraft] RIT knob removal?
If it's a K3, it's as simple friction fit with a spring to hold the knob securely; just pull it off. Be sure to you don't lose the spring insert when it comes off (it's a flat metal spring shaped like the end of the shaft) and orient the knob so the flat is aligned with the shaft when replacing it. If it's a K2, the knob is held in place by a set screw that requires a .050 (1.3 mm) Allen wrench. Ron AC7AC -Original Message- Can anyone suggest the proper way to remove the RIT/XIT knob?

Re: [Elecraft] RIT knob removal?
Rule of thumb - first check for setscrews, and if none, it must pull off. Exceptions: Caution on knobs with rubber 'tires' - the setscrews are under the 'tire'. And to make matters more confusing, there is a new line of panel mount potentiometers with integral knobs - neat concept, but the 'knobs' are not removable (not used on Elecraft gear - so far). 73, Don W3FPR Barry N1EU wrote: Thanks for all the correct responses - just needed to pull harder ;-) __ 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] RIT and VFO-A was (K3 Feature Idea)
Wayne, Maybe it would be possible to have the best of both worlds. Have the firmware remember the frequency in VFO A. With your example of VFO A at 7040.23, have a clockwise turn of the RIT knob move the frequency to 7041.00, 7042.00, 7043.00 etc. Reversing the direction of the RIT knob would result in, 7042.00, 7041.00, 7040.23 , 7040.00, 7039.00 etc. If you move the RIT by mistake, all you have to do is rotate the control until you see an odd frequency (*.xx). That will be your original VFO A frequency. Any rotation of the VFO A knob or band change allows a new reference frequency to be stored with the next RIT knob rotation. Most SSB contacts and nets are on even KHz so the RIT can be used to quickly get on an even frequency but it would not work to return to the original VFO A frequency unless some other form of announcement is used (a beep perhaps!). This is just food for thought. 73, Tony Fegan VE3QF Wayne Burdick wrote: There will be a menu entry.

If I am tuning the SSB portion of the band, yes, I will quantize the low order digits manually, but if I am tuning the CW portion, automatically quantizing the low order digits is not as great an idea - I may want a particular offset from 00, so let me do it myself if I desire, but please do not force it on me. 73, Don W3FPR Wayne Burdick wrote: Sorry -- geekSpeak :) Suppose the VFO were tuned to, say, 7040.23, in CW mode. Further assume your CONFIG:VFO CRS menu parameter is set to 1.0 kHz (i.e., your COARSE tuning step is set to 1.0 kHz in CW mode). If you then go into COARSE mode and move the VFO up one tic, you'll get 7041.23 with present firmware. In the future you'll get 7042.00: quantized to the nearest quantum which in this case is the next even multiple of 1.0 kHz. The same will apply if you have the RIT/XIT offset control enabled for use as VFO coarse tuning when it's not being used for RIT/XIT (see CONFIG:VFO OFS). The control will be quantized just like the VFO when it is in COARSE mode. The VFO already quantizes with smaller tuning increments selected (e.g. 50 Hz). So quantizing COARSE increments would be more consistent with present behavior. 73, Wayne N6KR e NF4L Wayne Burdick wrote: I plan to change VFO coarse tuning in general so that it quantizes. __ 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] RIT encoder has become flaky
As an example -- while slowly turning the RIT knob, the frequency display will go through: .82 .83 .84 .85 .84* .85* .84* .84* .83* .84* .85* .86 .87 etc. The erroneous readouts are starred. This is repeatable, though not necessarily with the same numbers. This would seem to be an encoder problem. Has anyone else experienced this?

[Elecraft] RIT?
Hi Bud, I dont like using the RIT when running stations as it is easy for me to grab the wrong knob...VFO B instead of RIT or, if I forgot to engage the RIT and promptly QSY myself away from my own pileup! Here is what I do and it works pretty slick in the contest AB; Hold B SET; Hold Lock; tap B SET again and now VFO B is locked OK, so now I start tuning up the band...S P until I find clear freqcall CQ and if I get an answer...AB; Hold SPLITnow my transmit freq is locked into VFO B and VFO A becomes RIT...if you see a packet spot...and click on it to qsy, it drops the split op but VFO B still locked...work the new guy...back to original run freq and Hold SPLIT and off I go again with my run freqit worked really slick during the IARU last weekend where I worked 986 Qs, with slightly more on SSB than CW...

RE: [Elecraft] RIT range
Hi Bart: I can't answer your RIT control range question specifically because I don't use RIT, but I know how you can have receiver-only tuning across the whole band. That is, you can adjust your receive frequency anywhere you want in the band without affecting your transmitting frequency. Use SPLIT mode. With SPLIT enabled, simply tap A=B any time you're tuned to a frequency on which you want to transmit. For example, you can do that after tuning in a station calling CQ, or after finding a clear frequency where you want to transmit. Once you've tapped A=B, your transmit frequency is now moved to whatever frequency you are listening on. Now you can continue to use the big knob to tune around without affecting your transmit frequency at all. It will stay wherever it was when you tapped A=B, until you tap A=B again. I prefer using that method so I can do all my tuning with the big knob, I don't have to remember to turn RIT off later, and I can tune to any frequency I want within the band.

[Elecraft] RIT drops receive frequency 600 Hz HELP
I have a K2 that when I activate the RIT the received frequency drops 600 Hz, too low to tune back to the frequency of the VFO so the contact is lost. The only way that the RIT is on frequency with the VFO A is to turn the RIT on before beginning the contact. Then everything is as it should be….. Any suggestions?

Re: [Elecraft] RIT drops receive frequency 600 Hz HELP
Dave, On the K2 the way to center the RIT is to remove the knob, turn the shaft until the frequency difference between RIT ON and OFF is zero, then replace the knob with the pointer straight up (with care not to move the shaft when installing the knob). 73, Don W3FPR [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a K2 that when I activate the RIT the received frequency drops 600 Hz, too low to tune back to the frequency of the VFO so the contact is lost.

Re: [Elecraft] RIT and XIT
Derick, The frequency display during receive will not change when XIT is selected because it affects only the frequency during transmit. It is as simple as that - if you wish to observe the transmit frequency during receive, you will have to activate RIT (which is what you are doing). I find SPLIT to be more intuitive than using XIT for exactly the reasons you mention, but YMMV - I use neither RIT or XIT, but prefer SPLIT instead. 73, Don W3FPR Detrick Merz wrote: So, with XIT on, as I twiddle the RIT/XIT knob, the displayed frequency does not get updated?

Re: [Elecraft] RIT/XIT
While I currently never use RIT/XIT and rely on the A/B split feature I think I am going to try to learn to incorporate their use in my daily operation. Their advantage for most 5kHz splits would be to allow me to leave VFO-A set for CW mode and CW freqs and VFO-B for SSB mode in the phone band and still be able to work most splits. Of course, 40-SSB still requires the wider range of the A/B split. I'd love to hear more about W4TD's external VFO.
