New KX2 feature: Internal logging of outgoing CW/data text

wayne burdick
Administrator
Logging of casual QSOs can be inconvenient when you're using the KX2 while hiking. You might be taking a break at a scenic overlook, using the rig like an HT, with one hand holding the rig and the other sending with the attached paddle. (This is in fact my favorite style of operation.)

For times like these, we’re adding an automatic logging feature to the KX2. When MENU:LOGBOOK is set to ON, the KX2 will record the last 2048 characters of your outgoing CW, PSK31/63, or RTTY text. The only requirement is that you use the rig's internal keyer, with either an attached paddle or an external one.

2048 characters is enough for 50 to 100 contest-style QSOs, or about 5 to 10 casual, bare-bones QSOs. You can turn logging on/off easily by assigning the LOGBOOK menu entry to a programmable function (PF1-PF4). You might want to turn it on when starting a QSO, then turn it back off once you’ve sent the other station’s callsign, RST, etc.

To view the logged text, there will be a LOG display mode, accessed using the DISP switch. While in this mode, VFO A can be used to scroll forwards and backwards through the text. This allows you to review contacts you’ve made, perhaps sometime in the future when you have time to update a paper or computer log. Text can be erased by holding CLR while in LOG display mode. Transmitting exits LOG display mode immediately.

The logged text includes your band and mode changes (e.g. *14.0 CW*). Also, any time you're transmitting, a time stamp is generated once per minute. The time stamps don’t appear in the text itself. Instead, they're shown on VFO A as you scroll, e.g.:

     LOG 0030

The KXIO2 option module includes a real-time-clock. If a KXIO2 is installed, time stamps will reflect the actual 24-hour UTC time. Otherwise time stamps will reflect the relative time since the radio was turned on, which starts at 00:00.

Of course there are limitations to this logging method. But as long as you send each station’s callsign at least once during a QSO, you’ll have a record of it, along with the band, mode, and time. You could log additional QSO information, if desired, by continuing to transmit; power should be turned down to zero in this case.

This feature is likely to be available shortly after we get back from Dayton. We hope to add this to the KX3 as well, if there’s enough interest.

Wayne,

What a great idea!  Do you think this log information could also be
available to download once the KX2/3 is back home and connected to a
computer via the relevant utility?

Forgot to mention that. Yes, there will be at least a simple text-dump host command.

Re: [KX3] New KX2 feature: Internal logging of outgoing CW/data text

Kevin - K4VD
​Nice! Looking forward to the feature on the KX3.

I wonder (polite way of saying I have an idea!)... would it be possible to
continuously record in a FIFO format (maybe called a scratchpad) and then
hit the log button when you have completed a Q you want to log? It might
reduce the amount of used memory from logging useless info. Just a thought.

I always love a post that starts with "New Feature..." :)

73,
Kev K4VD

Hi Wayne,

you are a genius! And it is better implemented than I thought. Great: no
additional gear needed. And of course it would be a help for the Kx3.

So I will order the clock for the Kx2. I didn't do it for I thought that
this space would be used for an I/O Board connection to the forthcoming Px2.

Thanks and all the best

Hi Wayne,
fantastic information! I think last Year during HAM Radio in Germany I was discussing this with Eric.... and there You go :)I'm also interested in having this on KX3 even if since I have KX2 the KX3 is more station transceiver it would really simplify logging process for occasional QSOs. And with PX3 You also have nice way to present the information.
Maybe You will some time implement also automatic logging features like Ulrich, N2DE is doing with his CW Machine (http://www.i2rtf.com/files/CWMachine.pdf). See page 57... only an idea :)
many thanks and regards from Germany

Re: New KX2 feature: Internal logging of outgoing CW/data text

In reply to this post by wayne burdick
Would the KX3 logging feature integrate with the PX3? I have found the PX3
USB keyboard interface very usable for digital operation, but logging is an
issue. Dumping the log later in some standard format would also be useful.

Logging of casual QSOs can be inconvenient when you're using the KX2 while
hiking.

This feature is likely to be available shortly after we get back from
Dayton. We hope to add this to the KX3 as well, if there’s enough interest.
