K3 rev 1.69 firmware
Locked
 
|
FYI...
On Feb 17, I sent an email to K3Support describing the "issues" described in Wayne's recent announcement of ver 1.69. That's a Sunday. Later that day (Sunday), I received my first reply from K3Support indicating "we never heard of that one." Subsequent emails (plural) from Aptos, through to the end of day Feb 18, supplied me with a litany of things to check; from confirming clearances inside the radio and ensuring that a nearly microscopic wire (patch) had been installed (it was - and they included a super-close up photo file), to confirming that the house ground (green wire) was actually intact. I did all of these and everything checked out okay (no mistakes at this end). I reported this back to Aptos. Then I received an email notification from Aptos that another user had experienced a similar issue. We had both tagged it to the KEY IN jack. On Feb 19, I received a direct email from Aptos which included a zipped file with v 1.69....which proved to be the fix. BTW, I think that you need to read the announcement very carefully. IMHO, the "40 wpm" part is with respect to the Internal Keyer. The other stuff (external keyer, external hand key, external computer) were not dependent on 40+ wpm. Happened to me at only 32 wpm using an external device (computer keying). So...what do we have? Initial notification of issue: Sunday Feb 17 Options suggested, tried, and "no effect": Feb 18 (legal holiday) Firmware solution delivered: Feb 19. Zowie! Is this a land speed record or what? If they will have me again, I'll be volunteering at the Elecraft Booth at Dayton again this year. How can you say thanks enough for that kind of support????? de Doug KR2Q (totally impressed) _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

I have to say that's very good, but...
Don Agro of DogPark Software, author of MacLoggerDX, beat that - in the space of 24 hours, he had received my bug report, sent me 4 beta's until we got it right (he had no K3 to test with) and released the Beta to the Web site! Ok, so I don't think it was a weekend :-) They are both super-service companies and are deserving of praise. 73 de M0XDF / K3 #174 On 20/02/2008 21:17, "DOUGLAS ZWIEBEL" <[hidden email]> sent: > o...what do we have? > > Initial notification of issue: Sunday Feb 17 > Options suggested, tried, and "no effect": Feb 18 (legal holiday) > Firmware solution delivered: Feb 19. > > Zowie!

In reply to this post by DOUGLAS ZWIEBEL
Hello all,
is there some support for request for "AUTO CW ON/OFF" firmware function as some rigs are having (FT-897)? It means SSB mode choosed, RX in SSB mode normally but when Key is activated (touched for CW sending) there is automatic shift of carrier and CW is transmitted (as in standard CW mode, SEMI or FULL-BK etc.) then going back to SSB mode for RX. Hope you understand :-) This is very useful during UHF/SHF contests (with transverters) when calling CW CQ but takers are calling in SSB (mostly or very often). No need for switching mode (you have SSB all the time) and to touch dial knob to reply etc. Very comfortable and (I hope) not so serious for firmware. I know this is very special and on HF bands there is probably no reason for such function, my experience is based on serious contesting on higher bands (1296 and up). If this is already somewhere inside and I missed something and my sorry for this Q. 73!

This is something I liked with my FT-897, I think it is a good idea but
probably not the highest prio on my list. 73 de Björn /SM0MDG On 080223 12:41 , "Alexandr Kobranov" <[hidden email]> wrote: > Hello all, > is there some support for request for "AUTO CW ON/OFF" firmware > function as some rigs are having (FT-897)? > > It means SSB mode choosed, RX in SSB mode normally but when Key is > activated (touched for CW sending) there is automatic shift of carrier > and CW is transmitted (as in standard CW mode, SEMI or FULL-BK etc.) > then going back to SSB mode for RX.

Yes, Bjorn,
it is marginal but when you plan to replace all 897 around used as I/F for microwaves... :-) Seriously - I know several other mostly UHF/SHF contesters - this is iportant function for them -- and they did not sent order for K3 yet ;-) 73!

VHF/UHF DXers switch freely between SSB and CW to deal with weak and fading signals. If someone calls CQ on SSB, but cannot copy your SSB reply, what you need is the ability to switch to CW and have your signal come up where the other station can hear it. Yaesu rigs automatically shift frequency to do this, so what the other operator hears is your CW signal at the normal pitch that you have selected. Obviously the reverse applies too - when you switch back to SSB, the signal is very nearly tuned in. Until recently, Icom rigs did not have this option - when you switch to CW, you'll be calling at zero-beat, fiddling with the XIT (which way???) and cursing Icom's name! As Lexa says, this isn't difficult to provide as a firmware option, so please let's have it. -- 73 from Ian GM3SEK Editor, 'The VHF/UHF DX Book' http://www.ifwtech.co.uk/g3sek _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

I think this was covered in the FAQ on 6m topics:
<Is it possible to have automatic VFO offset when switching from SSB to CW to SSB? The VFO offset should be the same as the selected transmit/spotting sidetone frequency. For example, if you are on 50125.00 kHz USB and you switch to CW mode, the VFO automatically switches to 50125.70 kHz (if the specified sidetone frequency is 700 Hz). This puts the audible CW signal in the USB passband. AND Can the K3 be configured to automatically change to CW mode when the key is activated and to SSB when a PTT line is keyed? These features will not be in the initial firmware release, but should be available in the second release. Exact functionality TBD. > That was one reason I decided to order a K3 late last year, primarily for UHF and above contesting. I'm not very clear what the "second release" might mean, but I guess we are talking about V 2.xx rather than an evolution of the current V1.69 code? 73 John G3XDY K2 #4713, K3 ??? ----- Original Message ----- From: <[hidden email]> To: <[hidden email]> Sent: Saturday, February 23, 2008 6:46 PM Subject: Elecraft Digest, Vol 46, Issue 43 > Message: 6 > Date: Sat, 23 Feb 2008 12:41:47 +0100 > From: Alexandr Kobranov <[hidden email]> > Subject: [Elecraft] "Auto CW" function > To: [hidden email] > Message-ID: <[hidden email]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed > > Hello all, > is there some support for request for "AUTO CW ON/OFF" firmware > function as some rigs are having (FT-897)? > > It means SSB mode choosed, RX in SSB mode normally but when Key is > activated (touched for CW sending) there is automatic shift of carrier > and CW is transmitted (as in standard CW mode, SEMI or FULL-BK etc.) > then going back to SSB mode for RX.

Björn and Alexandr,
This is not only important on UHF and above... It is important on VHF as well! Granted nobody cares about this on HF, but 6m and above, it is tremendously useful -- one could even say crucial. Björn, you described the FT-897 capabilities very well, and that's exactly how the K3 should implement this. The FT-897 is the gold-standard model for how this should be done, and all the VHF/UHF ops I've talked with about it agree. I had extensive email correspondence with the K3 design team early on, lobbying for implementation of this feature, and I was assured it will be forthcoming. This feature is addressed in the FAQ, which says, "These features will not be in the initial firmware release, but should be available in the second release. Exact functionality TBD." I don't think anybody knows what this means. I sure don't. What is the "second release"? Haven't there been many, many releases so far? Or does this mean "v2.xx"? If so, when is that going to happen? Can somebody at Elecraft let us know when this capability is expected to be coded and implemented? It sure would be nice if it were in there by the time I get my K3 in April/May, in time for the ARRL VHF QSO Party in June.

Bill Björn and Alexandr I agree with your sentiment, I indeed plan on using my K3 for 6 Meters and vhf/uhf weak signal operation. Hopefully they can implement this change before the Spring prior to E season and I get my K3 in March or April.

It would also be nice to know when we might see FM TX/RX available, CW-to-PSK31 actually working, the calibration option for the high stability TCXO, etc, etc. You guys aren't the only ones waiting for updates to make the K3 do what we thought it would in the first place.

Come on guys, Elecraft is certainly busy enough getting the K3s out of the
