K3 and HRD

Disregard my last posting. I forgot to explain what is happening. Here is
what my message should have said:

I have a really odd bug going on and I don't know if it is the K3 or Ham
Radio Deluxe. Whenever I click on a spot, everything works fine except when
it happens to be any frequency in the 30s - that is 3.530 to 3.539, 7.030 to
7.039, etc. Any other frequency in the CW band shows up on the K3 and the
mode is correctly changed to CW, except in the 30s, where it always shifts
to SSB, even though it is in the CW band. Anyone know if that's an issue in
the K3 or in HRD? I suspect it is in HRD. Thanks.

Hard for me to imagine how K3 firmware could cause this. Do you have
another program with this capability you could try? You could also try
sending "FA" (VFO A) commands directly to the K3 using the Command
Tester screen in K3 Utility. See the Programmer's Reference for details.

Re: K3 and HRD

Similar function with logger32 works fine on the K3. The mode will
change according to mode definitions in the "bands and modes" table and
sets mode when I click on a spot. HRD uses a similar setup. Is there
possibly an error in the HRD "band layout" definitions as set in the
band manager? possibly entries for the 30s segments. Mode is set
based on band layouts and HRD the software sets rig mode, so i doubt
it has much to do with the K3 firmware.

If I am way off here, I must apologies. my answer assumes that this
is similar in V6 as in earlier versions.

Re: K3 and HRD

What version of HRD are you using. Pre 6.0 has a lot of CAT control
problems. I understand that Elecraft has loaned a K3 to the HRD staff to
fix issues and I see significant improvement in the 6.0 beta release after
playing with it.

Merry Christmas All!

Re: K3 and HRD

I've logged a few bugs in HRD's bug tracking system about K3 rig control -
among them some problems with buttons not properly toggling functions, not
being highlighted as to state, the lack of a 6M and 2M band selection
button, etc.

So far a couple of my bug reports have been modified to read 'Fix Build',
which I assume means they are going to fix it in the next build.

I doubt if HRD will ever be the 'complete' rig control solution for a K3 or
any other transceiver.

Re: K3 and HRD

Ok guys.. this is K3/KX3 week

What do you all think is missing in HRD that the K3 command set supports?
Not bugs, but things that aren't implemented.

And it HAS to be in the cat controls to be implemented..

Re: K3 and HRD

Hi Rick,

The TUNE button properly sets the KAT3 tuner tuning operation. I had to
make a new CAT command to change it to an actual TUNE (send a carrier) to
tickle the KAT500 into knowing what band portion I was on or for retuning.
Um, SWH16? I'd have to look again.

Unless I've totally missed something in V6b2, having an integrated terminal
program (make it part of DM780?) for the K3 native PSK and FSK modes would
be REALLY useful instead of relying on Data A mode or other external wiring.
It could also be used to manually enter in commands for macro testing and it
would play well with other brands of similar abilities.

I also created a button and band display for 6M.

Another row (or three) of buttons would be useful for remote ops since it's
easy to run out of buttons. I've retasked some of them for remote
operations.

I've also noted that some buttons do not light up when active.

The metering does not show the SWR in tune/tx mode(s) nor is it very
responsive to quick changes. This also occurs when operating local so it
isn't necessarily a polling frequency or latency issue that one would expect
over a network.

Thanks!
