K3 Serial Commands?

N4LQ-2
I'm trying to configure Mixw macros so it will send commands to select
various filters, FL2 etc....
The "Programmer's Reference isn't much help to me. I was able to interpet
the commands for my IC-7800 easily but this has me stumped. Can someone help
me get started by telling me the command format for one of the filters?

Steve,

Look at the "FW" commamd in the KIO2 Programmer's Reference.

Re: K3 Serial Commands?

N4LQ-2
That didn't help. I tried entering FWxxxx4 and nothing happens as if nothing
is being sent. There must be something that preceeds the command. The manual
keeps mentioning GET and SET....Are you supposed to enter that somewhere?

Re: K3 Serial Commands?

Don Wilhelm-4
Steve,

I suggest that you read the entire Programmer's Reference paying
particular attention to the command syntax.  There is more to it than
just entering the command itself.  During that reading process, you
should then understand GET and SET.   Try a few commands from a terminal
program first to get a feel for the syntax and command usage.
After that, review your logging application to see if it automatically
adds anything to that which you enter into the macro - if it does, that
will have to be taken into consideration.

Re: K3 Serial Commands?

N4LQ-2
IF someone would just give me one command in the proper syntax I think i
could figure this out. I read the manual but it's really vague.

Re: K3 Serial Commands?

Don Wilhelm-4
Steve,

You did not use a ";" at the end of the command when you posted the
macro that you were trying - that may be your sole problem.
The other potential problem could be that the K2 is in a state where it
will not accept commands.  Since I don't know what your application is
doing when the macro is invoked, I cannot know for certain whether this
is a problem or not.

You could try this sequence of commands:
RX;K20;FW44442; which should select FL2 for you.  If you leave the
trailing '2' off, the next sequential filter should be selected.

Don W3FPR

RE: K3 Serial Commands?

Joe Subich, W4TV-3

Don,

The question was asked in regard to the K3 - not the K2.  

Unfortunately, the K3 does not (yet) seem to be able to select a
specific filter/bandwidth only the next filter in sequence with
the default DSP bandwidth for that filter/mode.

Regards,

   ... Joe Subich

FW00004; Set the correct speed, I use 38,400 baud.

Not all published commands work  - I will have to look at my K3 as I just
selected filter 5 and got filter 1 selected!

I'm in Dayton without my K3 and limited e-mail access but I
believe my tests indicated the filter number was ignored.
All FW0000x commands simply selected the next filter in
sequence.

Not quite - something very odd happening, I'll update the firmware over the
weekend to get to the latest revision.
