K3S/P3-SVGA CW Decode - P3 Power Cycle

I have always had problems using the K3 Utility to change configurations from
another mode to CW, as I could see text decode on the K3S VFO B display area
after a restore to my CW configuration but not on the P3-SVGA external
display without a lot of fiddling. I see now that simply turning the P3
on/off is required after a configuration restore to get that text decode to
display.

I would make a note of that but would just forget where I put it. Now, it's
right here for me to find!

Re: K3S/P3-SVGA CW Decode - P3 Power Cycle

HiActually what is happening is that both the p3 svga and the utility are attempting to get access to the decoded text at the same time so when one gets a character, the other misses it.. If you wish to use the utility, just turn off text decoding display on the svga. 73 Tom

Re: K3S/P3-SVGA CW Decode - P3 Power Cycle

Hi Tom - I was only using the K3 Utility to switch from one configuration to the other, then I close the port and close the program. But thanks for the heads up about not using them together. Bret/N4SRN

KX3 CW Decode question

In reply to this post by tomb18

Hi Tom (or anyone else who knows),

Does this also hold true for the decode function in the KX3 and the PX3?
Should I not run those simultaneously either? Or is it only the
interaction between the hardware and the utility program?

Re: KX3 CW Decode question

HiYes it applies there as well. When you use software that is reading the decoded CW, it is requesting the characters from the radio. Same thing with the p3 and px3. They end up competing with each other. So if you use software to get the CW, turn off the p3 or px3 decoing. 73 Tom

Re: KX3 CW Decode question

In reply to this post by rich hurd WC3T

You must have the KX3 decoding to display text on the PX3. The PX3 doesn't decode. What you shouldn't do is try to display on the PX3 and the KX3 Utility at the same time.

Note: To display CW, RTTY or PSK decoded signals on the PX3, you must activate text decoding on the KX3.

Make sure that you do not have the KX3 Utility Terminal program active to display and send text while you are trying to use the PX3 keyboard, or vice verse. The KX3’s text decode can be fed to only one place. You will see dropped characters if the utility is active when using the keyboard. They both cannot be used at the same time.

Cheers,

Fred KE7X

Re: KX3 CW Decode question

Thanks to all. I also confirmed this experimentally. However, even
turning decode off on the rig, I still get spurious dropped characters from
the utility.

It's not a showstopper to me because (a) I'm not looking to bring the
computer along on field expeditions, and (b) I'm hoping at some near point
in the future to use the CW decoder that is between my ears. Hi hi.
