CAT command of K3 VOX??
Locked
 
|
I am attempting to use CAT commands to program the K3 to go into something I call remote or local mode (using HRD with macros assigned to buttons)
Basically, remote mode switches the MIC to Line in and sets the compression to 0. What is missing is to set PTT. Local mode, switches MIC to front panel and sets compression to 15. What is missing is to set VOX. Now I can use the SWH09 command but this is a toggle. It works, but if I was to inadvertently press one Remote or Local twice in a row, then the VOX gets switched again and this will lead to an indeterminate state where I won't know what is happening. As I am using the SignaLink USB interface, it uses hardware PTT and this can occur when VOX is enabled, which may cause some issues. Now, it seems that the VX command is only a Get. Can anyone suggest a work around? Thanks |

The IC command will give you what you want. Voice VOX status is
available in bit 6 of Byte d.

Do you have the ability to send a GET command and query the result? Then you
could use the VX getter to know what state you're in and issue SWH09 only if you need to. I have to do this quite a bit in the K3 Utility for K3 state that has only toggles.

I thought you couldn't do that inn the k3 utility. I guess I could program a macro and then just call this from HRD. I can't find any documentation on HRD programming languages.
Perhaps I don't even need to switch to PTT and back. From the manual it says that even if you VOX the PTT is active. If this is the case, then the signalink will take care of this for me. Tom |

You can't do this with the macros. The K3 Utility itself has a lot of code
that queries the radio and follows different paths based on the rig's responses.
