K3 Speaker toggle macro

[Mike Reublin]

Julian VK4CMV, posted what I thought was a great idea, plugging
headphones into the jack on the back of the K3, and toggling the
external speaker(s) with a button. See P. 21 of the user manual for
Julian's method.

I did it with a macro  MN097;UP;MN255;  using the K3 utility.

73, Mike NF4L

This function is available in the CONFIG menu [CONFIG:SPKR+PH] which can
easily be assigned to one of the programmable buttons on the right hand
side of the K3 Front Panel. It works great! I have mine on M3(Hold) and
it cycles between "speaker and phones" and just "phones".

I put it on RIT (for the "receive" mnemonic) and have the XIT button set to bring up the MIC SEL menu.

Question#1

  This may be a question for Dick Divendorf or "P3 beta testers".

  I use a K3/10 as my IF for VHF/UHF and Microwave operations. I am always looking for WEAK signals. My K3 has a SoftRock driven by a buffer amp on the IF port for a Panadapter and it works very well. I can see signals too weak to work by about 5db using "Rocky" software spectrum display. Rocky's "slow waterfall" is slightly better in detecting weak signals,
but to what degree in db, I have not determined.

  For me, other software like PowerSDR does not display the really weak signals as well.

  My question, is there anything in the P3's operation that would offer any better weak signal detection? Any direct observations between the P3 and other panadapter systems with the K3.

 


Question#2

  Anyone out there have any weak signal experience with the 2m internal transverter yet. It's tempting, but I need very low level 144Mhz (a few milliwatts) to drive the high band transverters as well 10watts or so for 2m drive for 2m amplifiers.
I am doing that with an external DEM 2m transverter at the moment. I may need more flexibility of levels than may be easily obtained with the internal xverter.

 For you weak signal types... EME etc ... how is the internal xverter stacking up?

THANKS and 73  Bill  K0AWU  EN37ed
