HRD new version question
Locked
 
|
I am using HRD 5.xx for rig control. I would like to buy the new version
6.2 if it will do the following: Light the buttons for: ATU, ATU Tune, Notch, Notch Manual, Noise Blanker Provides sliders for: Manual Notch, Hi Cut, Lo Cut Any K3 users with the latest HRD to answer? I have asked before and not received any definitive answers.

The KX3 is 'officially' supported with HRD version 6.2, I believe. If you're running any of the 5.x releases, you're actually running as a K3 since the 2 command sets are so similar. Both K3 and KX3's button mapping has improved with 6.x, too.
Check with the HRD folks on the details - especially read the release notes for the latest HRD releases at their web site. Cheers, David/KG6IRW |

Thanks for the general information. I did go to their site and could
find nothing directly addressing my questions. What I am looking for, is someone actually using the latest version of HRD with a K3 that can answer my questions from experience.

Hello Bill,
I have HRD 6.2.3.234 current Public Beta and took a look at your questions: ATU button works (AUTO/BYPASS) but button does not light ATU Tune button works but no light Notch (AUTO/OFF) works but no light Notch-Manual button exists but does not allow for manual adjustment as far as I can tell
No slider for manual notch Noise Blanker button works and lights No sliders for Hi Cut, Lo Cut My understanding is lack of lighting on some buttons is due to no feedback available from K3 but supposedly they HRD & Elecraft are working on the issue.

Thank you very much for making those tests. They saved me the
frustration of purchasing the new version of HRD, that would not have improved my operation. I only use HRD for rig control, so my best bet now is to keep using the 5.xx version that I already have set up.

>> No sliders for Hi Cut, Lo Cut Yes we do, that's Filter Shift and Filter width sliders. NB slider should be in the next beta. As for buttons lighting up, yes, the firmware has many buttons that are just toggles and have no way to poll the status. This is a firmware limitation. So if I cant ask the radio if they are turned on, then there is no way to handle status.. And no, an internal flag wouldn't help, as Id need to know what the status of the buttons are when HRD comes on. Programming 101... HRD and even the other nice program, Win4K3Suite, are limited by what we can do with the command set. Wayne and Erik are working on bugs and will be able to get to these requests for status in a future release. Bill, as I said to you in email, wait for the 6.2 release to try it, as you'll get 30 days free... with support. You don't have to buy HRD to test it, but 6.2 is in beta and ONLY for paid users until it's release.

Thanks for the response - and no, I never received any email from you
regarding this question. There are no sliders for Lo cut and Hi cut (they are separate controls on the K3 from Shift and Width and function differently). The other slider I asked about was for the Manual Notch - not the NB. The manual notch is often needed to remove offending carriers and its quick setting via a slider would be of benefit. In my instance, I have never used the NB. In the interim, I continue using 5.xx. However, I do look forward to an improved version in the future.
