KX3 firmware: Vers 1.12
Locked
 
|
I notice that if you have the RIT on and then hit spot that only the rcvr
goes to zero beat; while my K3 with the RIT on and spot is used moves both transmit and rcvr frequencies. Is this a bug or intended?

This feature was added to the KX3 but not the K3 (yet). It's on my list.

That is a brilliant and intuitive feature, look forward to seeing it on the
K3 as well! In the normal scenario when calling CQ and you get an off-center response, you've had to adjust RIT manually if you wanted to keep your calling frequency (or alternatively, tap A->B, then SPOT, then engage SPLIT). Now it's as simple as enabling RIT and hitting SPOT. Spot on, Wayne :) 73, Thomas M0TRN On 15 August 2012 18:21, Wayne Burdick <[hidden email]> wrote: > This feature was added to the KX3 but not the K3 (yet).

You will also notice that if you have the VFO locked, the RIT is also automatically locked which defeats the whole idea of RIT which is to allow receiver excursions without changing the transmit frequency. I pointed this out to Wayne last week who expressed surprise that it hadn't been reported sooner. It likewise "is on the list." 73, Kent K9ZTV S/N 021 On 8/15/2012 11:49 AM, [hidden email] wrote: > I notice that if you have the RIT on and then hit spot that only the rcvr > goes to zero beat; while my K3 with the RIT on and spot is used moves both > transmit and rcvr frequencies.

Wayne, et. al.
When this is implemented in a new firmware release, will it be able to be turned on and off in the menu configuration? I personally like that the TX "matches" to zero beat when using SPOT, but I can see why some would like it not to behave that way.

Hi Lu,
if you want zero beat for RX and TX then simply turn off the RIT with the new feature (when implemented in K3 firmware like on the KX3) and everything will be fine (otherwise you would not be zero beat anyway). No need for a menu option. ;-) 73, Olli - DH8BQA ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lu Romero" <[hidden email]> To: <[hidden email]> Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2012 7:31 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] KX3 firmware: Vers 1.12 > Wayne, et. al. > > When this is implemented in a new firmware release, will it > be able to be turned on and off in the menu configuration? > I personally like that the TX "matches" to zero beat when > using SPOT, but I can see why some would like it not to > behave that way. > > Lu - W4LT > K3, P3, K1 > > ====================== > > Message: 10 > Date: Wed, 15 Aug 2012 10:21:42 -0700 > From: Wayne Burdick <[hidden email]> > Subject: Re: [Elecraft] KX3 firmware: Vers 1.12 > To: [hidden email] > Cc: elecraft list <[hidden email]> > Message-ID: > <[hidden email]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed; > delsp=yes > > This feature was added to the KX3 but not the K3 (yet).

Ah, yes, you are correct. Duh! That's what I get for

This feature was added to the KX3 [...] - Great feature, particularly when one is on the DX-side and facing a pile-up, as I happened today. Now, no need to ask for leaving the RIT free when VFO is locked, as I had asked before. BTW the filter is fantastic (not the APF, although it can help when receiving QRS). 72 de FO/F5LCI, enjoying this jewel all day long.
