K3 in SS SSB
Locked

I really don't like getting on SSB but the K3 makes it tolerable. Both K3s
gave me 1850 QSOs in 79 ARRL Sections (missed NL, darn it). The new implementation of the Notch was VERY nice. Sunday afternoon draws lots of carriers from QRMers and the notch just wiped them off the map with a quick punch of the button. When you can continue 80/hr+ rates with a 30 over 9 carrier planted on you, you've found the perfect tool. The QRMers don't realize that they are helping to keep the frequency clear for you because they are generally only affect a direction pointed at me rather than at my next contact. Very nice. I had to run the DSP filter at 1.8 to 2.0 on 40 and 20 since those bands were so crowded. Rather than adjust the filter width or skirts on each contact, I found it much easier to adjust the RIT and leave the filter alone. I have never used the optional I and II selection. Lots of guys were off frequency by up to .5 kHz. I guess they were spinning the VFO and didn't take time to zero in too much. My RIT knob will need replacing one of these days though. Thanks again to Elecraft because a K3 is the only way for me to survive 24 hours on SSB. ;-) Bob K5WA ______________________________________________________________ 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 |

Hi,
If you are running a frequency, why don't to put the rig in split mode and lock the B VFO instead of using the RIT? AB2TC Knut

Knut,
That won't work because it doesn't allow N1MM's {CLEARRIT} feature to resent the RX back to zero as each contact gets logged. Some guys actually call on frequency too! ;-) I may look at using an Elecraft MACRO and a call from N1MM to accomplish the same thing with bigger knobs though. If there is a way to tell VFO A to reset to VFO B's frequency without changing any filters/etc., it might work.

Bob,
Instead of {CLEARRIT} try {CAT1ASC K31;MN098;} I have not tried it yet but that should execute the VFO B>A which should have the same effect as CLEARRIT. 73 Greg AB7R -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]]On Behalf Of K5WA Sent: Monday, November 23, 2009 4:57 PM To: [hidden email] Cc: [hidden email] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 in SS SSB Knut, That won't work because it doesn't allow N1MM's {CLEARRIT} feature to resent the RX back to zero as each contact gets logged.

In the "Tools" menu dropdown from the main logging window, tick the
box that says "Reset Rx freq when running split". This doesn't appear to be "sticky"; you'll have to select it each time you start the program. Works great. 73...

All that will do is bring up the "VFO B>A" menu entry... and it's even it you actuated it, all it would do is to copy VFO B's frequency to VFO A - and RIT would still be on, and you would have QSYed to whatever frequency VFO B happened to be on.

Maybe I misunderstood what he was trying to do. I thought he was trying to
NOT use RIT, rather put the radio into split on a run frequency, lock VFO B for TX and use VFO A to tune around your run freq instead of using the small RIT knob. So RC; would not apply. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Iain MacDonnell - N6ML" <[hidden email]> To: "Greg" <[hidden email]> Cc: "K5WA" <[hidden email]>; <[hidden email]>; <[hidden email]> Sent: Monday, November 23, 2009 8:02 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 in SS SSB On Mon, Nov 23, 2009 at 5:27 PM, Greg <[hidden email]> wrote: > Bob, > > Instead of {CLEARRIT} try {CAT1ASC K31;MN098;} > > I have not tried it yet but that should execute the VFO B>A which should > have the same effect as CLEARRIT.

But the part about only bringing the menu item up, and not actuating
it, stands ... at least that's what happens when I enter "MN098;" with the K3 Utility Command Tester. I'm not sure if it's possible to actuate it via commands ... the menu entry is only there for the purposes of assigning to a programmable function key. I suppose you could assign it to a PF and the use "SWT" to emulate pressing that PF button. ~Iain On Mon, Nov 23, 2009 at 8:19 PM, Iain MacDonnell - N6ML <[hidden email]> wrote: > Oh!

In reply to this post by Iain MacDonnell - N6ML-2
As soon as I started reading your email I though about assigning the
function to PF2 and then using the SWH47; command. I put the radio into split mode, locked VFO B and changed freq with VFO A. The SWH47; command worked fine. It set VFO A to match VFO B. I think this is just what they're looking for. Provided he does not mind using a PF key to do it. 73 Greg AB7R ----- Original Message ----- From: "Iain MacDonnell - N6ML" <[hidden email]> To: "Greg" <[hidden email]> Cc: "K5WA" <[hidden email]>; <[hidden email]>; <[hidden email]> Sent: Monday, November 23, 2009 8:22 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 in SS SSB But the part about only bringing the menu item up, and not actuating it, stands ... at least that's what happens when I enter "MN098;" with the K3 Utility Command Tester. I'm not sure if it's possible to actuate it via commands ... the menu entry is only there for the purposes of assigning to a programmable function key. I suppose you could assign it to a PF and the use "SWT" to emulate pressing that PF button. ~Iain On Mon, Nov 23, 2009 at 8:19 PM, Iain MacDonnell - N6ML <[hidden email]> wrote: > Oh!

Some guys like to monitor another frequency while running, either looking for mults, a different run frequency, or even a band change. Often when I'm running and things are slow enough, I'll spot someone I want to work on the other RX and try to time the end of his QSO with the end of my CQ, then call and hopefully work him without losing my run frequency. Sometimes you can get away with it, sometimes you can't. :) 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ 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 |

Works not so great with the K3, IMHO. At least up until now, the N1MM programmers reported that they couldn't really figure out whether the K3 was in split or not - I guess it's a CAT API software issue. So unless you religiously used alt-F7 to turn the K3 split on/off, Logger would lose track of the split state. I know that the FT1K/Orion never had this issue - you were free to control split at the rig and Logger tracked it. Whether or not the K3 CAT API has been enhanced to make it easier to read the split state, Logger isn't supporting it yet. 73, Barry N1EU |

Sorry, that's nonsense. The K3 has reports SPLIT status in the auto-information messages and always has done. If I select SPLIT on my K3 by pressing the front panel button then a red SPLIT indicator displays in KComm. If I can do it I'm sure they can.

Split status (defended as "transmit on VFO B") is reflected by the "p" byte (byte 33 of 38) in the IF; data. Direct control and status for the subreceier was recently implemented [MCU 3.46] in the SB; set/get command but status has been available in both the IC {MCU 2.51] and DS get commands for quite a while. 73, ...

Thanks to Julian and Joe for clarifying where the issue lies. Perhaps if someone could lend a K3 to K3CT, he could fully support the K3 in N1MM Logger. Unfortunately not all K3's own a K3 ;-) 73, Barry N1EU |

Unfortunately not all K3's own a K3 ;-) FWIW, I tried this N1MM Logger feature last night - I hadn't paid attention to it before. It seems to work fine. I put the K3 into Split mode with the buttons on the front - not via N1MM Logger, and it was detected correctly. I didn't run a 48 hour contest with it, but a quick test seemed to suggest it works well. The only "gotcha" I noticed is that if you adjust your *RX* frequency (VFO A) by more than the "tuning tolerance", it will actually knock you out of Run mode. I think that's a bug - it should not happen that way when in Split, I think. I'm going to ponder it some more, and maybe submit a bug report. ~Iain / N6ML ______________________________________________________________ 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 |

I'm not sure which Logger feature you tried Iain, but 9.11.0 is the latest and "Reset RX freq to TX when QSO is logged (RUN & Split)" is NOT working if you manually put the K3 into split mode, call cq, tune off freq to pick up a caller and log the qso. VfoA will stay off freq instead of being matched to vfoB as it should and as it works on other radios. 73, Barry N1EU ______________________________________________________________ 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 |
