I got frustrated with my inability to get the vox setup correctly,
my problem getting the gain/antivox set correctly, NOT a k3 problem! So I started keying my mic(s) with the XMIT button. Mic's are a D-104 and a CM-500, neither one has it's own keying line. After a few minutes with a group I chat with every day, I was ask where I got the "Roger Beep" for my rig. I ask what's that, and was told it was a thing that CB'ers often added, that causes a beep sound at the end of their transmissions. (since I hear a tone here in the shack, when I push the XMIT key as well as when I unkey, I don't know if it goes out on the air both times or not?) I found the source of this annoyance to be the SW TONE being set to ON. My question is, how do I keep the beeps, for when I push the other buttons on the face of the K3, but not get the added 'feature' of the "CBer's Roger Beep" (also known as a courtesy tone, I'm told), every time I key the mic. -- GB & 73 K5OAI Sam Morgan ______________________________________________________________ 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 |

This might help: here's a PTT button you can build from parts at Radio Shack.
Use the PTT RCA jack instead of the 15-pin accessory connector; I just forgot. http://wa5znu.org/2007/11/k3/ptt/ Leigh/WA5ZNU |

You could always try setting the noise gate to the point where the beeps are
not heard. 73 Ian -- Ian J Maude, G0VGS SysOp GB7MBC & HB9DRV-9 DX Clusters Member RSGB, GQRP 9838, FISTS 14077 | K3 #455 http://www.m0scg.org.uk On 7 October 2010 13:12, Sam Morgan <[hidden email]> wrote: > I got frustrated with my inability to get the vox setup correctly, > my problem getting the gain/antivox set correctly, NOT a k3 problem! > So I started keying my mic(s) with the XMIT button. > Mic's are a D-104 and a CM-500, neither one has it's own keying line. > > After a few minutes with a group I chat with every day, > I was ask where I got the "Roger Beep" for my rig. > I ask what's that, and was told it was a thing that CB'ers often added, > that causes a beep sound at the end of their transmissions. > > (since I hear a tone here in the shack, > when I push the XMIT key as well as when I unkey, > I don't know if it goes out on the air both times or not?) > > I found the source of this annoyance to be the SW TONE being set to ON. > My question is, how do I keep the beeps, > for when I push the other buttons on the face of the K3, > but not get the added 'feature' of the "CBer's Roger Beep" > (also known as a courtesy tone, I'm told), every time I key the mic. > > > -- > GB & 73 > K5OAI > Sam Morgan > ______________________________________________________________ > 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 > 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 |
