LP-Bridge Question
Locked
 
|
OK, I am behind the times here and have been reading the thread about LP-Bridge. I am going to play with this when I get home this evening....but...I have a question. How does it interact with N1MM Logger? Are there issues? I am using one real comm port (RS-232 type or COM1) to the K3. I am using K1EL keyer on USB for keying.

You configure LP-Bridge to connect to the "real" serial port. You configure one or more "virtual" com ports within LP-Bridge for use by your applications. You configure your application to use the virtual com port. It's easy. Are there issues? There's one obscure issue that I know of that probably won't impact anybody but me. LP-Bridge does not pass !BExx (dsp direct) macros from N1MM Logger to the K3. That's the only issue I've encountered. 73, Barry N1EU |

Lee. I use that setup for all my contesting....works great! You can give me a call if
you have any problems with setting it up...but it is pretty straight forward. ------------------------- 73, Greg - AB7R Whidbey Island WA NA-065 On Thu Dec 10 7:40 , Lee Buller sent: > >OK, I am behind the times here and have been reading the thread about LP-Bridge.

Lee,
The current version (0.9.976) of LP-Bridge seems to work well with N1MM Logger. Previous versions did not work so well with the Logger, but this one seems to do the job. My basic normal setup is similar to yours (COM1 connected to the radio and a WKSUB for CW). With LP-Bridge I can run N1MM Logger, SDR-IF Stage with the LP-PAN, and other software such as MixW and DXLabs simultaneously without any obvious problems. N1MM Logger's support of the second receiver (interactions between SUB, SPLIT, and DVRSTY) is not perfect; ditto for its support of CW keying on the computer control serial port - but so far, when I have encountered problems with either of these I have found that the problems persist even when LP-Bridge is taken out of the picture, although some timing-dependent problems may display different symptoms. 73, Rich VE3KI Lee K0WA wrote: > OK, I am behind the times here and have been reading the thread about LP-Bridge.

Lee -
LP Bridge is spectacular. It allows multiple software programs to interact simultaneously with the K3. It is stable, has an excellent manual, an active reflector (Yahoo Groups LP Pan), and excellent and immediate phone support from its author Larry Phipps. I have used LP Bridge with N1MM for several RTTY contests. It never faltered. It is totally transparent. In addition to allowing multiple software programs - maybe N1MM and Skimmer- to run simultaneously and bidirectionally contol the K3, it opens the possibility of a panadapter simultaneously running PowerSDR-IF from the K3 IF. PowerSDR's visual display provides lots of possibilities - see all the activity on the band at once, point and click tuning on dual VFOs if you want them, visibly adjust filters, band stacking registers, and more. LP Bridge is free. The panadapter can be implemented with Larry Phipps LP Pan, $220 built or $175 kit last I looked, or with a Softrock LiteII for K3 for less than $20. I use the Softrock. I have no commercial interest in LP Bridge or LP Pan. Stuff this good deserves recognition.

G'day,
Just installed a shiny new revision D main DSP board. Date and time needs resetting so decided to use the utility Date and Time configuration option. Selected Date and Time: Current UTC date/time and K3 date/time displayed. Selected Apply: Date updated but the K3 display oscillates at a few per second between date/time and the normal frequency displays. Exiting the utility Date and Time option results in normal display and the time is correct. All firmware (3r68) was reloaded after installing the new main DSP which has installed on it the sub RX DSP and DVR. In other respects all seems to be working OK, just soak testing before parcelling up the old DSP board. The open mic transmission on 20M I mentioned last night seemed to be someone listening to a repeater in the US - N3FCK/R or similar.

I have just fixed a bug in this area. I will send you a new K3 Utility
when I return on Monday. As a workaround, set the K3 month and year to some non-zero value before using this K3 Utility function.

This happens allways if K3 has been set to European Date format dd.mm.yy
If I temporary switch to US date formate, I can store Date and time from the PC. If I than go back to EU Date format, it´s ok. 73 de Peter, DL2FI Betreff: [Elecraft] [K3] Utility Date and Time G'day, .... Selected Date and Time: Current UTC date/time and K3 date/time displayed.

The same phenomenon occurred here but if the date is set manually in the
K3's Config menu the Utility time update works ok. 73 to all Geoff G3UCK ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dick Dievendorff" <[hidden email]> To: "Mike Harris" <[hidden email]> >I have just fixed a bug in this area.

Thanks, Geoffrey. I had an off-by-one problem. I'll get a new
revision out this week. 73 de Dick, K6KR Sent from my iPhone On Dec 27, 2009, at 10:45 AM, "Geoffrey Downs" <[hidden email] > wrote: > The same phenomenon occurred here but if the date is set manually in > the K3's Config menu the Utility time update works ok. > > 73 to all > > Geoff > G3UCK > > ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dick Dievendorff" <[hidden email] > > > To: "Mike Harris" <[hidden email]> > > >> I have just fixed a bug in this area.

Interesting. I thought I broke the radio when it did the date/time flashing last night. This list is always one step ahead of me.
