Missed QSOs with N1MM and KUSB
Locked
 
|
I worked in the 160m SSB contest last week. K3 did great and DVR was especially useful. I used N1MM logger with KUSB and Vista.
A few times callsigns being written into the QSO field in N1MM were automatically cleared before the complete callsign was in. It concided with frequency change in the N1MM window as if the radio was QSYing slowly while in fact it was not. It started after either changing to a new frequency or using RIT. It seemed that the computer was recording intermediate frequencies for a few seconds before it stabilized at the frequency indicated on K3. Such experience is new to me. I used N1MM for several years and K3 for a few month. New this time were KUSB instead of another USB/serial device, new KUSB driver (from Elecraft website), new Vista updates, new firmware etc. Did anybody notice anything similar? Ignacy . |

MY K3 is hooked up via my Microham MK2R. I have never seen the radio change
frequency by itself. You have to watch that you do not click in either the available window or the band map or you will change frequency. Did the radio really change frequency or did the callsign just disappear? "A slip of the foot you may soon recover, but a slip of the tongue you may never get over."

When the frequency is changed in N1MM by 500 Hz or so, the callsign in the input windows is wiped clean.
So if the frequency of K3 was changed by 10 KHz but the update in N1MM was by 1 Khz/s, anything one typed in one second disappeared the next second. Ignacy

That seems like poor software design to me. If it really seems as if the frequency updates are slow to reach the computer, perhaps you are connecting to the K3 at a low baud rate. Make sure you are using 38400 to minimize any delay in updating the frequency from the K3.

My K3 with N1MM does not do anything erratic like this. This is not a
software issue. Something is wrong in the configuration of this system - perhaps the USB to RS232 port is defective or the parameters are incorrect. 73, Bob W5OV -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Julian, G4ILO Sent: Wednesday, March 04, 2009 3:08 AM To: [hidden email] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Missed QSOs with N1MM and KUSB Ignacy wrote: > > When the frequency is changed in N1MM by 500 Hz or so, the callsign in the > input windows is wiped clean. > So if the frequency of K3 was changed by 10 KHz but the update in N1MM was > by 1 Khz/s, anything one typed in one second disappeared the next second. > > That seems like poor software design to me.
