K3 Sub-receiver RIT
Locked
 
|
I've found that during some contest operation, it's handy to call CQ on
VFO B, while using VFO A to search and pounce. (Known as Single Operator 2 VFO mode, SO2V.) That way, when unassisted, I can use the P3 to locate promising signals. However, I sometimes wish the RIT would work with the sub-receiver on VFO B. Has anyone found a way to do this? Even better would be to have RIT on VFO B and XIT on VFO A. If it's not currently possible, I'd add it to my firmware wish list. 73, Scott K9MA -- Scott K9MA [hidden email] ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [hidden email] |

Scott,
I looked at the programmer ref manual and realized there is only one RIT/XIT, which is controlling VFO A. I guess there are two choices left: - either you press A/B to switch to your CQ VFO. - or you try to mimick RIT of VFO B via FBxxx; commands with the help of an external control knob. Maybe this feature can be added more easily to the K-POD? 73 Gernot DF5RF Am 13.01.2019 um 18:14 schrieb K9MA: > I've found that during some contest operation, it's handy to call CQ > on VFO B, while using VFO A to search and pounce.

Thanks, Gernot. I came to the same conclusion. I also tried using
"BSET", but it doesn't enable the RIT on VFO B. Maybe a firmware update could fix that? 73, Scott K9MA On 1/14/2019 19:01, [hidden email] wrote: > Scott, > I looked at the programmer ref manual and realized there is only one > RIT/XIT, which is controlling VFO A.

Then you can have the RIT on A and watch the VFO B cursor track VFO B. Of course if you get too far away from your run frequency, you'll have to increase the P3 span so that you can still the VFO B cursor, but this is the best way around this problem for now, without resorting to extra hardware. Of course assisted operators can just send a spot to VFO B to have a listen. 73, Bob, N6TV ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [hidden email] |

"Of course if you get too far away from your run frequency, you'll have
to increase the P3 span so that you can still the VFO B cursor" Therein lies the problem: With the span set to more than 10 kHz, it's very hard to resolve CW signals on the P3. A VGA display would help, of course, but I'd rather not go that way. Anyhow, I'm hoping maybe just a little mod to the K3(s) firmware could provide a way to use RIT with VFO B. 73, Scott K9MA On 1/14/2019 23:58, Bob Wilson, N6TV wrote: > On Sun, Jan 13, 2019 at 9:15 AM K9MA <[hidden email] > <mailto:[hidden email]>> wrote: > > I've found that during some contest operation, it's handy to call > CQ on > VFO B, while using VFO A to search and pounce.
