[Elecraft] Firmware Request

2009-11-21 Thread Elliott Lawrence
Boy the firmware changes keep coming and coming even before I can load the previous beta a new one arrives. I would like to make a firmware change request. Several times while in the Data A mode I have accidently hit the M1 button where I have a voice message of my call stored. Of course

The 1 switch on the number pad switches from vfo a to b. Could the switch tone function be changed such that it gives an indication of which vfo? i.e. low tone for A, and High for B? This would be very helpful for setting splits. __

Gulio, part of this behavior - KEY OUT is as copy of key nor PTT OUT is well known and was several times discussed. Key Out is activated by Key hitting even you are in PTT mode and no PTT signal (or VOX) is active. (see http://www.zerobeat.net/smf/index.php?topic=215.0 with comments related to

It's a good point you make David. We have both mentioned that it would be good for the firmware to turn MON on (if it isn't on already) during the transmission of a recorded message, whether from M1-8 or AF Play. Also, Andy, as far as stopping tx under computer control is concerned, at present

I've noticed one possible issue using the KDVR3, wich I've installed today. The PTT is controlled directly by the radio, so basically when you go for playback the radio goes on TX automatically. This is a problem for us, cause on our VHF station we deal with an external sequencer who manage to

That might work! Presumably the other features of the KRC2 would not work without also having the auxbus connected - not a big loss for me. It is something I will try as it is only going to need a 9-way serial cable with pins 4 6 disconnected via W16 and W20 just in case. Considering all the

The other method with AUXBUS almost works. The new firmware has a compatibility mode added to the KRC2 config menu of the K3. This should make the KRC2 show up as 10m or 60m on 6m. It actually shows up as 160m with my system. So, as long as we don't mind 160m mapping to 6m that is a solution.

I wonder if it is possible to make the K3 lie to the KRC2 that 50 MHz is via a transverter? This would help my switching problem and I think might be of general use to those upgrading from K2+XV50 to K3. Mike -- View this message in context:

That is a very good idea Joe. I will try but it will need pull up resistors fitting in the KRC2. Also because I use transverters I will have to solder 4 more wires and it will need two multicore cables soldering onto that 15 way din and that is very difficult because of the size with a

Mike, Try it using the AUXBUS control before connecting the BAND0-3 outputs from the ACC connector. If I recall, the AUXBUS control will also activate the 60 meter KRC2 output when 6 meters is selected on the K3. Even if my memory is incorrect, it is worth a try, it is an easy matter to

Mike, I have been looking at the KRC2 manual and was reminded that the KRC2 can use serial band decoding. You might want to try it because it seems to be the easiest (but I am still unsure about the 6 meters/60 meters decoding. You will have to set the K3 (and any logging/computer control
