KY Command

I am trying to use the KY command with Writelog for RTTY contesting. I
have no problem setting up a Keyboard shortcut which then sends the data
in the KY command, however I cannot find a way to stop the K3 from
transmitting after the command sends the data in KY. I see there is an
RX; command to end the TX. I also tried a SWT16 to create a press of
the XMIT button. I cannot find a syntax that works for combining the RX
or SWT16 command at the end of my KY command. I do not want to use
another key press. I was hoping to do it with one line of data.

The command string does not appear to work with the KY command

Neither of these formats with return to radio to RX.

KY "callsign";RX;
or
KY "callsign;SWT16;

Any thoughts?

Rich

Use the "KYW" form of the command. Inserting a 'W' in place of the normal space causes any subsequent command (in this case "RX;") to wait for the text string to be sent.

Yes, I had the same issue last weekend. I rec’d help from several listers including Dick who showed me the proper syntax for n1mm. Below is the function key file I used with n1mm.

The "<04>;” is a ^D or ctrl-D which is an EOT (end of transmission) character from ‘days of olde’ i’m told. The brackets indicate HEX base.

I realize these are for n1mm, your software may be totally different. Hope this helps, some.

Thanks so much. It worked like a champ. I guess I should not have
"assumed" that the Prog Ref I googled was the most recent. The one on
your site shows the KYW quite clearly.

My bad.

Thank you

On January 7, NR4C posted a function key message file for N1MM+ that
used KY commands to send FSK RTTY without requiring any FSK keying
interface connected to the K3/K3S AUX port. While the basic idea (<04>
used to terminate transmissions) is good, unfortunately there is an
error in this file.

Almost every message line in the file was terminated with a K30;
command. These K30; commands should all be removed from the file. N1MM+
expects the K3/K3S to be in K31 mode, and switching it to K30 mode will
cause some N1MM+ program features to stop working correctly.

Also note that a new field-test version of K3/K3S firmware is presently in test (rev. 5.46) that corrects a long-standing problem with the "RX;" command. This command is often used at the end of "KY<text>;" packets, or just for general use in returning the radio to receive mode. "RX;" now correctly terminates transmit in all cases, even when used in combination with PTT.

Anyone who uses N1MM (old or new versions) and would like to try the new firmware should contact me directly.
