Fixed audio output missing on the KX3?
Locked
 
|
I was going thrugh the manual today, and it seems that a fixed audio output is missing entirely from the KX3, why?
Fixed audio output is important for us who routinely run digimodes. There is also a lack of a separate audio input, which is just as important when running digimodes. So to run digimodes, it seems to me that I will have to disconnect the microphone and connect a suitable audio interface to the mic connector, and also to the speaker/headphone output, then I need to adjust the mic gain and the speaker volume on the KX3, and then do similar adjustments on the interface/PC. Quite cumbersome, when it all should have been included in an ACC connector on the KX3. Both the FT-817 and the IC-703 have miniDIN connectors on the back with audio in, audio out and PTT, something similar would have been a big advantage on the KX3 when running digimodes. When microphone and headphone jacks are used for digimodes, it will mute the speaker, and it will make it take unnecessary long time to change from digimodes to SSB/CW and vice versa. Yes, I know that the KX-3 utility program supports CW, RTTY and PSK-31 through the digital interface, but that program is kind of limited in functionality and modes. On the FT-817 and IC-703 and others as well, it's just a matter of changing the frequency and the mode (if the Data modes are employed). I think this is a real shortcomming on the KX3! Will it be possible for a future upgrade to the KX3 to install a miniDIN (or a separate jack) to accommodate a fixed level audio output, audio input and PTT input? (Yes, I understand that drilling or case replacement will be involved is such an upgrade.) The best upgrade will of course be a built-in USB Interface with and integrated USB sound card, like the IC-7600, TS-590 etc...

On the other hand, PSK31 and RTTY can also be supported by the KX3 with nothing but the serial port (using ASCII send/receive commands). So we're providing a very usable alternative for the two most popular digital modes. You can use the Terminal function in KX3 Utility, running on PC/Mac/Linux, to do full data communications in CW, RTTY, and PSK31 modes. I don't think we can support digital audio data over our serial port, but if figure out how to do it, I'll let you know. 73, Wayne N6KR ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

With all the digital modes popping up and audio recording it will be nice if the K3 will have fixed level line output In 2010 there was short email converstation about this subject, but Lyle, KK7P, was then (still) in the consider mode Will you look at this long time wanted feature?

No; these circuits are on different PCBs, and there's no space for
cables or switching components.

In reply to this post by LA8OKA
Just wondering "out loud" on this. Could firmware be added for the
KX3 under the data modes to set the audio gain to a fixed value? This would provide the desired levelized audio output with no hardware upgrades or addition. Connecting to the baseband audio has already been addressed in the current design. This does not address transmit audio issues but there seems a couple alternatives for that (mic input or GPIO and only requires an external pot for setting level). I have already offered to come up with an I/F "critter" for those that want to use computer-based soundcard sw (but told to hold off I bit until more have the radio). 73, Ed - KL7UW, WD2XSH/45 ====================================== BP40IQ 500 KHz - 10-GHz www.kl7uw.com EME: 50-1.1kw?, 144-1.4kw, 432-QRT, 1296-?, 3400-?

We may add LINE IN/OUT levels to the KX3 so that when you select DATA
A or AFSK A data sub-modes, these levels will be used automatically. As with the K3, MIC GAIN would become LINE IN level, and AF GAIN would become LINE OUT level.

That would work nicely. Please do add this. Perhaps also in the Data A
or AFSK A modes compression is also turned off? Can always split some of the audio off for background awareness. 73, tom n4zpt On 5/1/2012 3:00 PM, Wayne Burdick wrote: > We may add LINE IN/OUT levels to the KX3 so that when you select DATA > A or AFSK A data sub-modes, these levels will be used automatically. > As with the K3, MIC GAIN would become LINE IN level, and AF GAIN would > become LINE OUT level. > > Wayne > > > On May 1, 2012, at 11:38 AM, Lance Collister, W7GJ wrote: > >> On 5/1/2012 6:13 PM, Peter wrote: >>> Ok, >>> >>> Its no possible in the KX3.

In reply to this post by wayne burdick
I'm well aware of the fact that the KX3 is a transceiver aimed at the portable market, and that's the reason I have ordered one.
But portable, does not only means trail friendly, it also means that the transceiver is suitable to bring with me on air travel, and for me, I will probably use the KX3 more during business trips, than on the trail. When I ordered the KX3, they following items where of high importance: * - Size. (The KX3 have a smaller volume (at least in the spec sheet) than the FT-817) This is very important when traveling. Since I travel a lot in my work, I'm very restricted on space because I usually have a lot of tools, instruments and spare parts with me, not to forget the usual stuff, clothes, toothbrush etc. * - Performance. (The KX3 is supposed to be a high performance transceiver, much better than my current traveling work horses, the FT-817 and the IC-703.) * Wide range antenna tuner. (Very important when I have to use less than ideal antennas in the field and from hotels etc...) * Flexibility. (The KX3 is not as flexible as the FT-817 and IC-703 when it comes to digimodes, but have the potential. The possibility to use a terminal connection for CW, PSK31 and RTTY is a big plus, but is limited to only viewing one signal at the time due to the nature of terminal viewing and limitation of the humans. (I don't think any humans would be able to read multiple signals in a text only terminal window.) The reason that the FT-817 and IC-703 is more flexible when it comes to digimodes is simply that to change from digimode to voice and back, there isn't any need to change any connectors and cables, both the digimode interface and the mic can be attached at the same time, a big advantage when going back and fourth between digimodes and voice. On other items regarding the flexibility, the KX3 shores high, the dual watch isn't possible on any competing portable rigs. The same goes for bandwith selection.) * Current consumption. (When space is limited, power is also limited. The KX3 is promised to have a low receive current, about 1/3 of the FT-817 and IC-703.) A miniDIN connector will not take up much space, actually less space than a mini jack because it's more shallow, so I think it should be space for the connector on the side of the KX3. Regarding the internal data decoder/encoder, I hope you also can be able to include PSK-63 and PSK-125 as these modes are gaining popularity, especial for DX-stations in pile-ups due to the speed.

Hi Martin, Our goal was to make the KX3 the smallest, lightest, most portable all-band/all-mode radio ever. We had to draw the line somewhere on features, battery size, number of controls, I/O connectors, etc. Included are features that felt would be used most often in portable settings. Audio-based data modes are a good example: we fully support these modes, but as you pointed out there's the small inconvenience of sharing audio I/O with headphones and speaker. On the other hand, PSK31 and RTTY can also be supported by the KX3 with nothing but the serial port (using ASCII send/receive commands). So we're providing a very usable alternative for the two most popular digital modes. You can use the Terminal function in KX3 Utility, running on PC/Mac/Linux, to do full data communications in CW, RTTY, and PSK31 modes. I don't think we can support digital audio data over our serial port, but if figure out how to do it, I'll let you know. 73, Wayne N6KR ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

There is no space inside the KX3 for new connectors. Any additional support for audio-based data modes must be obtained using the existing connectors, along with MCU and DSP firmware changes. > Regarding the internal data decoder/encoder, I hope you also can be > able to include PSK-63 and PSK-125 as these modes are gaining > popularity, especial for DX-stations in pile-ups due to the speed.
