K3 Commands

I notice in the K3 Programmers manual that there is a TE command to
GET/SET the Tx Eq, but I can't find an equivalent RE command [or
whatever] for the Rx Eq. Am I missing something?

Re: K3 Commands

Hi there is none.
You can adjust it up and down but there is no direct command to read it.

Re: K3 Commands

Hi all,

If there is a command to *set* the RX equalizer I am unaware of it. What would it be?

Re: K3 Commands

Hi,The first thing you will want to do is to reset the equalizer to 0 for all bands. Command: MN008;SWT53;MN255;
Next you issue the following:
MN008; which selects the equalizer menu, then you issue the equivalent of a tap on a button for the particular equalizer band you want. So for the 50hz band in the equalizer you would normally press the "1" button which is a SWT11; then you issue as many UP; or DN; commands you need.
So to raise the 50kHz equalizer by +5 you would do the following
MN008;SWT53;MN255;
MN008;SWT11;UP;UP;UP;UP;UP;

For the other bands in the equalizer you can look up the SWT table in the programmers reference for the buttons 1,2,3,4,...etc.
Note: Issuing many UP; commands without delays, will not necessarily always work for the equalizer.

Re: K3 Commands

In reply to this post by k6dgw

Fred:

I wrote a couple of K3 macros to test the technique:

To set all Rx EQ flat:

MN008;SWT53;MN255;

To set the bottom two "bands" down 8 dB:

MN008;SWT53;SWT11;DN;DN;DN;DN;DN;DN;DN;DN;SWT12;DN;DN;DN;DN;DN;DN;DN;DN;MN25
5;

MN008 opens the "Rx EQ" menu.
SWT53 taps "clear" to set all Rx Eq to their midpoint (0). "clear" is
SWH35; on a KX3.
SWT11 taps 1 for the first frequency "band" (for the K3). See the SWT/SWH
table in the programmer's reference for keys 1 thru 8 on the K3 and KX3.
Eight VFO "down" commands (DN;) reduces "band" 1 by 8 dB.
SWT12 taps 2 for the second frequency "band".
Eight VFO "down" commands reduce "band" 2 by 8 dB.

MN255; closes the menu.

I tried a few of the DNn; commands; it seems to decrement just 1 dB per DN
command. You'll need 16 DN commands for the full range.

Not as pretty as the TE command, but the Rx EQ can be set with commands.

The worst case command length to set all 8 bands to one extreme or another
requires about 250 characters (a bit over twice the maximum command length),
but I doubt that you'd want an Rx EQ of all "bands" at either extreme.

Re: K3 Commands

I previously used the same approach of multiple UP or DN commands to use
different microphones before the TE command came out.

I still use UP and DN to select the rear panel versus front panel mic jack
and to change the VOX gain.

I do those in DXLab's Commander module because I'm always using that when I
want to change microphones.
