K3 Split option idea
Locked
 
|
I wonder what other K3 users think about having this SPLIT option available
on the K3. Like many K3 users, chase DX stations and DXpeditions. Many of them working split, listening on a different frequency. With many radios that I have used, when a band switch is made, not only are both the 'A' and 'B' VFO FREQUENCIES stored for each band, but they also retain the SPLIT /NON-SPLIT conditions for that band. When chasing multiple DX stations, often switching between between bands, I have to remember to hold in the SPLIT button each time I change between bands. If I forget, I get 'reminded' by the KHz Cops. Am I the only one? Would it be possible to allow K3 users to have the capability of retaining the SPLIT condition on each band, if desired, with a menu option? If there is concern about accidentally going back to a band and forgetting that the radio is still in the split mode, how about having a blinking SPLIT icon? I know that the blinking SPLIT icon is used to warn of the 2 VFOs being set to different modes and that the yellow LED is on when there is a difference between RX and TX frequencies. How about the idea of the SPLIT icon blinking when the K3 is in the SPLIT mode on instead. Thoughts/Comments? 73, Rich - K1HTV ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

That option to save the split state per band is already there. Turn
"SPLT SV" to "YES". 73, Ted, W2ZK On 4/7/2010 12:01 PM, Richard Zwirko wrote: > I wonder what other K3 users think about having this SPLIT option available > on the K3.

Many Thanks Ted. Guess after the many reads of TFM I still missed it :-).
I'm heading off to my K3 to set the SPLIT option now.

K3 ATU TUNE per band only?

In reply to this post by Ted Roycraft
Hello,
Actually ATU TUNE is configured per band. Is there any option to have it OFF in all bands and not to be remembered? Something like SPLT SV (yes/no) for the SPLIT mode. But I couldn´t find the same for ATU TUNE.

Ok Greg,
What I want is for example: I am in 40 mts with ATU ON, I move to other bands and then return to 40 mts and want to have ATU in bypass. I don´t want K3 to remember that ATU was ON in this band. Maybe is an option to say yes/no to remember this point?

Jorge, Just set the ATU to Bypass on the bands (all if that's what you want) and it will remember that setting next time you go back to it. ------------------------- 73, Greg - AB7R Whidbey Island WA NA-065 On Thu Apr 15 6:58 , 'Jorge Diez - CX6VM' <[hidden email]> sent: >Hello, > >Actually ATU TUNE is configured per band.

K3 remembers whether ATU is engaged or bypassed per ANT1/ANT2 per
band, and remembers L/C settings per band. You are asking it specifically to return to bypass when you leave a band? It's not like you have to do some complicated thing down in the menus. Front panel button HOLD <ATU TUNE> toggles from bypassed to engaged, and the current state is plainly shown (ATU showing on the display means it's engaged). Some have asked for ATU to drop out if an amp is in-line, but I've not heard of that being taken up. Current K3 behavior is pretty standard. 73, Guy.
