K3 Eqalizer settings

Hi,

a short question:

How it is possible to GET the equalizer setting of k3.

I experiment with the WA5ZNU "Python K3lib" and would like to add this new function.

thanks

Re: K3 Eqalizer settings

Hi
It is not possible to do a get for the read equalizer directly.
However you can iterate through the IC command to determine the value.
From the manual;

The menu parameters for MAIN:RX EQ / TX EQ consist of 8 “mini bar-graphs” with 5 possible “levels.” These show up as the following characters in the DS response string (level 1 through 5): ‘_’, ‘=’, ‘>’, ‘]’, and ‘^’. To see how these should appear in a graphical application, go into RX EQ and vary one of the EQ bands over its full range.

In general you should not poll for this. It is better to reset the equalizer and then manage the settings and state in your program.

Hi Tom,

that's the idea I was looking for!
Thanks, with this solution, I'll continue.

Hi good. Just to set the record straight it's DS not IC.
my phone keeps getting the wrong text predictions!

K3 Eqalizer settings - another way

Hi,

when working with the "DS response string", i found an easier and faster method to read the values from the equalizer.

If you select an AF-band in the RX/TX EQ menu, the set value appears briefly in the VFO-B display area.
This value can be read out with the "DB command" then.

The "SWTxx;" command and the "DB;" command must be carried out in quick succession.

In the 'Elecraft K3 utility", you can for example run a macro"SWT34; DB;" and then receive the related response string.

This note for general information.

Cool idea Wolfgang, it works well for the KX3 too. Thanks.

H
Yes that will work too as long as you run it stand alone. Injecting that command set during polling in a multithreaded app, needs careful checking to ensure that the right response occurs. Timing is a issue here.
