K3 needs survey -- firmware and application software

[wayne burdick]

Hi all,

As you probably know, we keep a list of firmware features and  
improvements to be added as time permits. Many of the most-requested  
changes were made over the past several months, keeping pace with the  
demands of the fall/winter contest season. (A few that come to mind:  
switch sequence automation via macros, improved DVR interaction with  
PTT, main/sub audio mixing, improved NR, lockable transmit controls,  
and many enhanced remote-control commands.)

As we head into 2010, we'd like to refresh the master firmware list  
based on your input. Items already on the list have priority, of  
course, but this is a great opportunity to let us know what else is  
missing or could be improved. Our goal is to make the K3 as easy to  
use as possible, while providing the advanced features you need for  
specific operating situations.

We're also planning a renewed effort to assist application software  
developers. If your ideas for improvements involve changes to both K3  
firmware and a favorite application, we'll pass it along to the  
developers and work with them closely.

We're making great progress on the P3 Panadapter and other new  
products. There will be some surprises in 2010 :)

73,
Wayne

How about a webpage listing the features(non-prioritized from your
standpoint)? With the ability to add to it, and maybe vote on the requests?

I love surprises(weeeelllllll mostly).

[Bill W4ZV]

I'm a heavy user of diversity (99.9% of the time).  I have many different RX antennas which have differing amounts of gain.  For diversity to work correctly, I need both antennas to present the same RF levels to both receivers.  I can make gross adjustments with ATT/PRE, but for fine tuning I would like to adjust RF Gain with a single fader (balance) control as has been implemented with SUB AF for AF Gain, instead of having to adjust the concentric RF Gain knobs.

Page 59 of the manual:

"SUB AF - If set to BALANCE, then the SUB AF GAIN control becomes a main/sub AF
balance control when the sub receiver is turned on (including diversity mode). In
this case MAIN AF GAIN controls the AF gain level for both receivers. When
SUB AF is at 12 o’ clock, both receivers will be at full volume (main left, sub
right). If SUB AF is rotated fully counter-clockwise, you’ll hear only the main
receiver. If it’s rotated fully clockwise, you’ll hear only the sub receiver. At
intermediate settings you’ll hear both. A balance control is very useful for
contesting and split operation. But it can also save a lot of AF gain control
adjustment (i.e., matching main and sub), since MAIN AF controls both main and
sub receiver audio."

Please consider a "SUB RF" menu option for balancing RF Gain.

73 & Merry Christmas!

[Julian, G4ILO]

A command to get decoded CW, PSK31 and RTTY text into a computer program while CAT is enabled (in other words, something better than TT1.)

Support for upper and lower case when sending PSK31 using the internal modem and computer generated text.

Per-mode equalization.

A discriminator meter for netting FM signals, using the CWT indicator.

Support for PC memory management software (direct access to memories.)

[Ian Maude]

I would love to see 3 things...

1) Receive EQ by mode
2) Monitor on the KDVR to not be in the TX chain
3) Decent Memory management

Anything else is a bonus but those are my wishes for 2010 :)

Seasons greetings to all the gang at Aptos!

[PA3CW]

Hi Wayne and Elecraft team,

First of all a bit thank you for the fun I had with the K3 over the last year, including all the software changes and the involvement of all of us in the new developments of the K3.  I must say this is outstanding and what puts Elecraft on a different level than any other manufacturer i the market.
This must have had consequenses of increased market share and results of Elecraft as a company and I hope the company keeps this position of excellence.  That is what makes a difference from a good and a great company.

As for future developments and wishes, the challenge lays in not listening only to the one that makes the biggest noise but to the community as a whole.  Some kinde of internet ' poll'  would help for sure.
The frequency of new releases, about once a month,  is perfect to me.

Also it may be an idea to adress certain users directly by e-mail to ask for input.  Anyway, it is the discretion of Elecraft to prioritize what to do first.

I wish the team a very Merry X-mas and look forward to 2010....hope there is still time to ship my XV144 before the end of the year :)

Dick PA3CW

[wayne burdick]

Hi Jack,

We're working on this.

Meanwhile, please try the K3's built-in memory management (see page 16  
of the owner's manual). The K3 will automatically save frequencies of  
VFO A and B, mode, FM repeater offsets, PL tones, etc., in a memory.  
Just tap V>M and select one to save it in.

Also see the information on channel hopping/scanning, page 40.

73,
Wayne

Wayne,

Even though I am a brand new K3 owner (received last week), we really need a software program to manage memories. Need to read and write to the K3, freq, mode, offset for fm repeater work

This is really basic to radios I have had for over 5 years….anyway, hope this makes the priority list.

Thanks for a great Radio!

One Request:
Make sidetone adjustable without producing the tone and so you can do it
when sending like any other rig.

It's hard to change sidetone when in QSO. The tone covers up the other
station! I should be able to continue keying and not kill the adjust pot.
It's simply a mess the way it is now. 73

Any chance we could see the list?  Simply choosing those that are high
on our list might help to firm up the various items.

To address the limited display area of the K3, I'd like to see a simple pc application that will present a virtual K3 display on the computer screen and provide full-time display of:

shift (numeric)
width (numeric)
power
compression
mic gain
sub preamp
sub antenna selection
sub shift
sub width
AF Limit
AGC hold
AGC DCY
AGC SLP
AGC THR

(meant to be display-only and not to change settings, to be used in conjunction with LP-Bridge so that the CAT port can be shared with other applications)

[Craig Smith]

Two items here:

RX EQ by mode - or at least one separate setting for CW!

Build as much flexibility and functionality as humanly possible into the P3, even if much of it is optional.  Perhaps the last near-term opportunity to add major hardware to the K3 and provide extra switches and operator interface capabilities.

Thanks for a GREAT product!   Happy holidays and 73.

Wayne,

Even though I am a brand new K3 owner (received last week), we really need a
software program to manage memories. Need to read and write to the K3, freq,
mode, offset for fm repeater work

This is really basic to radios I have had for over 5 years….anyway, hope
this makes the priority list.

Thanks for a great Radio!

To keep it as brief as possible:

-RX EQ per mode, so every mode can be tailored (and we will never get into "noise threads" again :-)
-European 144/430 FM step raster support 6.25 and 12.5 kHz (With the K144XV in mind)
-Memory editor utility and 50(?) more memories (also with the K144XV in mind)

Some less secrecy about The List would be very welcome. May be a periodic report of things-on-the-horizon,or an overview of priorities. This might take some excess "heat" of reflector...

Have a very merry Xmas and all the best wishes for the Elecraft team in an undoubtedly exiting 2010!

As we head into 2010, we'd like to refresh the master firmware list  
based on your input. Items already on the list have priority, of  
course, but this is a great opportunity to let us know what else is  
missing or could be improved. Our goal is to make the K3 as easy to  
use as possible, while providing the advanced features you need for  
specific operating situations.

[Doug Joyce]

Wayne:  Please take a look at and correct the power output discontinuity as
the PWR adjust is changed from "12" to "13".  Further details of actual
power ouput sent to Gary (in support) 22 Nov/09 with request that he cc to
you.

Thanks & looking forward to the P3.

Seasons Greetings to all

In my short time ( 2 weeks )  with this wonderful radio I have had several "wow, look at this!" moments on most days.

The one feature that I have come to wish for, so far, is the ability to have two or three TX Equalizer set ups and the ability to make comparisons by switching quickly from a set profile and back to "Flat".  Also, using a couple of different mics and or modes would be easier with profiles perhaps modeled after the band width/shift "Norm, Norm 1 and Norm 2"  system.

BTW, Wayne, thanks for asking!

I hope everyone has a great Holiday season and finds plenty of time to play radio,

Rick

Both the KX1 and the K3 announcements were real surprises to me. They certainly were well-kept secrets.

The K3 built-in keyer is very good as it is, but I miss the automatic character spacing of my favorite external keyers (CMOS Super Keyer, Logikeyers, Accukeyers, etc.). As a CW operator, I would love to see that feature on the list.

Thanks and 73,

To address the limited display area of the K3, I'd like to see a simple
pc
application that will present a virtual K3 display on the computer
screen
and provide full-time display of:

shift (numeric)
width (numeric)
power
compression
mic gain
sub preamp
sub antenna selection
sub shift
sub width
AF Limit
AGC hold
AGC DCY
AGC SLP
AGC THR

(meant to be display-only and not to change settings, to be used in
conjunction with LP-Bridge so that the CAT port can be shared with other
applications)

Would you dedicate the K3's serial port to this function?  Instead of a
contest logger?

Outstanding suggestion.  I would second this one. Even better if we
could change the settings

Why would you need to, given LP-PAN, VSPE etc?
