K3 CW in SSB mode option to disable on 60m feature request

Perhaps it's too esoteric, but it would be nice if there were a way to
disable the CW in SSB mode feature for 60m. Leigh/WA5ZNU _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Personally I'd rather have the ability to do CW in SSB anywhere as it
turns out to be a good safety feature if ever need be. Granted cross mode is more of a safety option when we're talking about a KX1 but you never know. Personally I feel that not disallowing TX outside of the bands (or making things configurable so that one can transmit outside of band (with just a warning if your OOB) would be a good enhancement. ~Brett (KC7OTG) On Sun, 2008-07-20 at 16:23 -0700, Leigh L.

Isn't it ILLEGAL for any mode other than USB on 60? Other bands are legally
open to CW anywhere but I think NOT on 60. Somebody verify this. 73, Jim ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brett Howard" <[hidden email]> To: "Leigh L.

In the UK anyone authorised with a notice of variation (NOV) to their
licence can legally transmit CW on 60m. Being able to turn off a whole band would be a useful idea though, that would speed up band selection for those without antennas for some bands, etc. 73 Dave, G4AON K3/100 #80, former NOV holder for 60m ------------------------------------------------------- Isn't it ILLEGAL for any mode other than USB on 60?

I agree. I don't see any reason to disable anything. If you don't want to use something, or aren't allowed to use something, then just don't use it. We're licensed amateurs, we know what the rules are, we don't need our radios playing nanny to make sure we don't do anything we're not supposed to.

K3: band enable/disable option ?

Maybe we can talk about BAND ENABLE config option which can disable
some band(-s) from band UP/DOWN selection for example WARC bands in time on some WW Contest or all HF bands during transverter mode or some personal preferencies as 160 - 80 - 30m fast switching only etc. Coming back to "enable" status for some band can be done via direct frq entry and then BAND ENABLE in config. This enable/disable idea is only about band UP/DOWN button behavior nothing about mode or tuning/freq input/computer control .... just idea 73!

Re: K3: band enable/disable option ?

Ok Arie, most such "ideas" are based on personal experience and feeling. For example when I am running K3 at i/f for 10GHz during contest using ANT output for driving of transverter chain with 100mW out, I am little bit afraid when somebody else from our club is running this setup not to swith to some HF band by mistake where - if not set to 0,1W for all bands before - more power up to 12W (yes, I have 10W only version...) can go to ANT and which is able to destroy transverter TX input driven by 100mW. (Sometimes there is also unwanted band-switching during VOX or QSK mode changing - yes it is mistake of operator, but...) So as you can simply see, in my case there is this reason to "disable" all others bands from UP/DOWN swithing to in this specific setup. Maybe I am alone, maybe not :-) 73!

You should really be using the transverter interface so that it is impossible to have 10W emerging from that port, however, what I have done in the past with radios without a transverter output, like the FT817, is to fit a 20 dB attenuator in line. The system for 10GHz usually has more than enough gain to overcome this by the time the low noise pre-amp is added. In fact, if you arrange it properly and use a common TX/RX mixer you then do not need TX/RX switching at the IF side and the dangers of blowing up the transverter by not correctly switching TX/RX are over.
Beware of the transverter interface, it appears to have some problems, at least mine does, at low power levels. Mike

Let's extend this idea to mode enable/disable. It's a pain to cycle through FM/AM just to get from CW/SSB -- since the proper one press direction to go isn't something that one should clutter their minds with.
Not an original idea, could disable modes in other older rigs. 73 de Brian/K3KO

Thanks for your input, Mike.
I am really OK with my K3, only looking what can be "better" :-) As I am using independent RX and TX ports on 144MHz transverter (from which a 10GHz are driven next) I can put any-dB attenuator to TX line without any effect on Rx (actually what I have now is 10step/10dB attenuator in RX line going to RX ANT to fit gain levels with ATT in the K3). But if somebody has 100W version of K3 and need 100mW for driving it is another story... yes 30dB/100W attenuator is also solution to prevent over driving of transverter input but little bit unpractical. Still disabling of any other bands then transverter bands seems to be better for me :-) But again I do think it is (may be) good for any usage on HF contest or portable opreation where only several bands are reallly needed. I am not sure now but maybe Yaesu has something like "my bands" on ft2k - not sure now. Maybe it is simple in firmware, maybe not. But my thinking is :-) 73! L. -dst- P.S.: I have a second transverter for 2m driven via KRX 1,5mW output and there were some problems with power levels etc - something reported as a bug, something solved...

In reply to this post by Alexandr Kobranov
I had suggested that the UP/DOWN buttons be made to operate on a
user-selectable contiguous range of memories, much like the Channel Hopping scan function; but instead of an automatic scan the user would be able to step through them with UP/DOWN. That way one could program one's own band sequence: WARC, non-WARC, CW, SSB, etc. or skip bands for which you have no antenna. You could also reverse the order as one guy wanted (i.e., UP = longer wavelength, not higher freq). Also, you could program your SWL bands, which currently do not play well with BAND UP/DOWN.. Of course, I have no idea how feasible it would be to implement this. But on the surface it seems like it would be a neat feature. The BAND UP/DOWN control is not necessary at all because the K3 has a number of convenient memory access functions with which you can get around. The way it is, UP/DOWN just seems a little too restrictive to be of much use at all. 73, Drew AF2Z On Mon, 21 Jul 2008 11:03:30 +0200, Lexa, ok1dst wrote: >Maybe we can talk about BAND ENABLE config option which can disable >some band(-s) from band UP/DOWN selection for example WARC bands in >time on some WW Contest or all HF bands during transverter mode or >some personal preferencies as 160 - 80 - 30m fast switching only etc. >Coming back to "enable" status for some band can be done via direct >frq entry and then BAND ENABLE in config. >This enable/disable idea is only about band UP/DOWN button behavior >nothing about mode or tuning/freq input/computer control .... > >just idea > >73! >Lexa, ok1dst >K3/10 #727 > > > _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

It's my responsibility to follow the rules. I don't want rig manufacturers to take on that responsibility for me.

His answer was, "It's my Job to bring the criminals in our society to justice, not to prevent them from committing the crimes." 73, Tom, N5GE - SWOT 3537 - Grid EM12jq "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety deserve neither Liberty nor Safety" An excerpt from a letter written in 1755 from the Assembly to the Governor of Pennsylvania.
