K3 TX settings

[Nr4c]

Hi,

 

I am proud owner of K3 #4516 and have a question.

 

I have two mics I like to use.  One is the Yamaha CM-500 headset w/mic.  It
is plugged into the back of the K3  (CONFIG/RPL Bias).  I have worked to get
the audio sounding like I want it and have determined the gain and comp as
well as the setting for the TX equalizer.

 

I also have a Heil HM-10 Dual mic plugged into he front (FPH no bias) with a
Heil Kenwood connector.  I haven't spent much time with this combo as yet.

 

I would like to know if it's possible to store the mic settings for these
two mics so that I don't have to reset all the parameters manually.

 

If it's possible, be specific as I'm very new to this rig and am learning as
I go.

Bill,

Right now, the TX EQ settings will be the same for the FP and RP mic
inputs, so you will have to compromise.  I believe separate setting are
"on the list", but they have not rippled to the top.

While separate TX EQ settings for the FP and RP inputs would be ideal,
you could do it in a series of macros from K3Utility.

Or you can do it with one macro if you use DXLab's Commander rig control
program.  I have one that switches between front and back mic inputs with
different mic gain, compression, and TX EQ.

Bill,

Use K3-EZ ( http://home.roadrunner.com/~n2bc/SW.htm ). This allows saving up to four separate equalizer settings.

This may have already been answered, but there is a K3 "macro" capability
that allows you to store a string of K3 commands and invoke them with a
button press of the PF1, PF2, or tap/hold of M1-M4.  You can have 10 such
"macros" available at a time.

The K3 Utility offers a "command macro" editor that allows you to develop
and test and store into your K3 a string of K3 commands.  You might use two
of these "macros" to select your back panel and front panel microphones,
their bias settings, and perhaps Tx EQ settings.

There are examples of Command Macros in the K3 Utility Help = see the
"command tester" page and the related "command macro editor" section.

You'll find the K3 Programmer's Reference an invaluable source of
information on those K3 commands.

If you need help getting this going, send me the specifics of your preferred
Tx EQ settings for each microphone and I'll send you something to get you
started.
