K-1 rig control
Locked

Ok
New topic I am rather new to contesting, N1MM+, rig control, etc.! I have a K-1 s/n 151 which I enjoy using in contests. I also have an Icom 746 which I have interfaced with my Dell laptop W8 with some success. Can the K-1 be interfaced for rig control and CW contesting using N1MM+ ? Tnx Al K2AL Sent from my iPhone ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [hidden email] |

Al,
The short answer is no. There is no provision on the K1 for computer communications. The K2 with the KIO2 or KPA100 option does have computer connection capability as does the K3 and KX3. 73, Don W3FPR On 2/27/2015 11:23 AM, Al Hanzl wrote: > Ok > New topic > I am rather new to contesting, N1MM+, rig control, etc.! > I have a K-1 s/n 151 which I enjoy using in contests. > I also have an Icom 746 which I have interfaced with my Dell laptop W8 with some success. > Can the K-1 be interfaced for rig control and CW contesting using N1MM+ ? > Tnx > Al > K2AL > ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [hidden email] |

You could use a something to help key the rig say winkey or similar but rig control no. 72 Dom M1KTA ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [hidden email] |

Yes, you can key the rig from a computer using N1MM and one of the
well-publicized circuits to convert RS-232 signals from a computer serial port to keying levels. What people are telling you that you can't do is "rig control," meaning having the rig tell the computer what frequency it's tuned to or the computer moving the rig to another frequency. That requires an interface on the rig that is not included on the K1. Have fun! 73, /Rick N6XI On Fri, Feb 27, 2015 at 10:54 AM, Al Hanzl <[hidden email]> wrote: > Tnx > Figured. > I may be able to key the rig with CW with N1MM. > 73 > Al > > > Sent from my iPhone > > On Feb 27, 2015, at 1:20 PM, Don Wilhelm <[hidden email]> wrote: > > > Al, > > > > The short answer is no.
