K3 - CONFIG question
Locked
 
|
I am trying to manage an issue I have with my computer:K3 connection.
Whenever the computer changes power state (on to sleep, sleep to on, etc.), it appears the serial (true serial) port burps and the rig gets keyed. And of course when I power up the K3 in the morning I always am forgetting to put it into tx-test mode. Thus my question. Is there a means by which I can force the K3 to come up in tx-test mode? This could be a setting which I've overlooked, or perhaps some sort of "start programs" list that is only executed at K3 reboot. All ideas much appreciated. 73/Gary W2CS ______________________________________________________________ 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 |

Do you need to key the radio with the RS-232 flow control lines?
The K3 CONFIG:PTT-KEY menu item can be set to OFF OFF unless you're using a program that requires it...

I have found that one program (MixW - a general logging and digital program)
requires me to set PTT-KEY to an RTS-DTR setting. I have not been able to find a work around.

Poul-Erik,
I have here K3 PTT-KEY as OFF-DTR and N1MM as 38400, N,8,2, DTR-CW, RTS-Always Off. 73 Val LZ1VB >What are the correct settings of the K3 and of N1MM for keying (CW) the K3 >from N1MM? >Sorry if this has been answered in the past - if so pse just a link. >Poul-Erik, OZ4UN ______________________________________________________________ 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 |

Val -- That is good information, but why 38400/N/8/2 ? My manual says the
stop-bits should be set to '1' ? Is your keying working with N1MM the way you have it? 73, Tom - W4BQF -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Val Sent: Thursday, September 16, 2010 5:15 AM To: [hidden email] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 - CONFIG question Poul-Erik, I have here K3 PTT-KEY as OFF-DTR and N1MM as 38400, N,8,2, DTR-CW, RTS-Always Off. 73 Val LZ1VB >What are the correct settings of the K3 and of N1MM for keying (CW) the K3 >from N1MM? >Sorry if this has been answered in the past - if so pse just a link. >Poul-Erik, OZ4UN ______________________________________________________________ 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 ______________________________________________________________ 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 |

Turns out that the stop bit is a minimum silent period between symbols. At least, that's what Wikiepdia says (Asynchronous serial communication article). So 2 won't hurt even if 1 is sufficient. 73 Jon LA4RT ______________________________________________________________ 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 |

Poul-Erik,
To get N1MM Logger to key my K3, here are my settings that work: K3: RS232 = 38400 CONFIG:PTT-KEY = rts + dtr N1MM Config/Hardware Com 3: Elecraft K3 (in my case) CW/other checked SET: 38400/N/8/1 DTR = CW RTS = Always OFF This works and follows N1MM CW speed settings up to its max, plus VOX and PTT still works. Of course if you have other software that you use, then you have to reconfigure your K3 for that software. 73, Tom - W4BQF -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Poul Erik Karlshøj (PKA) Sent: Thursday, September 16, 2010 4:19 AM To: [hidden email] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 - CONFIG question What are the correct settings of the K3 and of N1MM for keying (CW) the K3 from N1MM?

Tom,
I am using SD contest logger, where 2 stop bits were set by default for K3. That's why now I set N1MM on my second computer the same way. Actually K3-N1MM connection works fine here with 1 or 2 stop bits set, no difference. 73 Val LZ1VB > Val -- That is good information, but why 38400/N/8/2 ?

Ok Val. I just tend to go with what the designers specify and that is why I
use their specified 1 stop-bit. 73, Tom - W4BQF -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Val Sent: Thursday, September 16, 2010 10:19 AM To: [hidden email] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 - CONFIG question Tom, I am using SD contest logger, where 2 stop bits were set by default for K3.

The "industry standard" for ascii async has been "8, none, and 1"
since RS-232 baud rates rose above 1200 in the early eighty's. The other odd settings are supported for compatibility with really really ancient technology. 73 Jack KZ5A ______________________________________________________________ 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 |
