Subject: [Elecraft] N1MM and KX3

Here is my F1 macro for CW contests:

F1 CQ, {CATA1ASCKY cq TEST * * test;}

If I enter two "cqs"   {CATA1ASCKY cq cq TEST * * test;} the message is not
sent...is that indicative of a limit on characters transferred 'tween N1MM
and the KX3?

Just tryin' to unnerstand....tnx, in advance, for your reply ---------- Jim

The limit is in the KX3 firmware. According to the K3&KX3 Programmer's
Manual, the upper limit on the length of a text message that can be sent
using the KY command is 24 characters. Your original message already
comprises 24 characters after the * macros are expanded, so the added "cq "
pushed it over the limit.

When I got my KX3, I built a pair of transistor switches that fit in a DE-9 shell. Added cables for RX/TX, PTT and CW KEYING and now it works just like a K3 with CAT, PTT and CW using DTR, and RTS from n1mm all from a standard KUSB that works with the K3.

Jim,

I know this may be sideways to your technical issue, but for those who do
S&P in a contest or FD (which is an operating event), waiting for long CQs
can be frustrating.  Keeping it short can increase your QSO rate and the
QSO rate of those doing S&B.

Here are the scenarios:

CONTESTING

   Calling station: CQ Test <your call> k [pause 3-5 sec before sending CQ
again]

   S&P station:  <your call>

   Calling station <his call> <exchange>

   S&P station:  <exchange>

   Calling station TU QRZ <your call> k


DXING

   For DXing I use the following:

   Calling station:

   Calling station: CQ DX <your call> k [pause 3-5 sec before sending CQ
again]
                                 or
                            CQ DX <your call> UP [pause 3-5 sec before
sending CQ again]

   S&P station: <your call>

   Calling station: <his call> <exchange>

   S&P station: TU <exchange> <his call>

   Calling station: TU QRZ <your call>
                              or
                           TU QRZ <your call> UP



Both scenario allow as many operators to work each other in the least
amount of time.

Also, for the faster interface with less lag, I use a WinKeyer or Winkeyer
Lite.  There is essentially no delay so you can have instant function key
or typing from N1MM+.

The Win4K3 suite software also support the WinKeyer, too.  So you can
program function keys and buttons in the terminal window just like N1MM+.

For me, Field Day is how I cut my eye teeth on contesting, so I
consider it a contest. But it is also so much more: Public
outreach, Party, Camping trip, Emergency preparedness drill,
etc. etc. etc.

On the other hand, I generally don't enter contests to try to
have a big score. I enter them to have fun. (But big scores are
fun too.) For example, to test my digital station for Field Day,
I entered the Ukrainian RTTY contest. Working in that contest
got all the bugs worked out of my setup, and reminded me how to
get around the bugs in the computer software I used. The big
bonus was two ATNOs.
