I agree
Permanently disable in menu compressor and monitor for my opinion will be nice.. regards, E72X,

Barry, I agree with you. In voice modes it would be
very helpful to be able to switch receive and or transmit eq in and out with a
button press.
Such a capability would also be a quick fix for my
problem of inadvertent "equalization" in data modes.
Potentially, equalization save/restore is a
complicated issue because one may want to store several different settings,
maybe tied to modes.
So I can understand if Elecraft wants to explore
related issues before giving us something that may have to be replaced
later.
However, just maybe there is enough justification
for in the long run implementing both a quick off/on pushbutton capability and
saving/restoring multiple settings. If so, the one could be implemented
independently from the other. The simple "on/off" would, as you
suggest, be tied to front panel buttons. The saving and restoring of
settings could live under the MAIN menu where the equalization settings
already live. Since it takes time and effort to determine one's personal
settings, I wouldn't mind having my library of eq settings defined in the
Elecraft Utility as one or more settings per mode and downloaded to the radio.
Each setting, regardless of mode, would be given a name and be usable with any
mode. The Main Menu would show the current settings like now (modifiable from
the radio like now), but also show the list of named settings, that could be
made active, affecting only the mode in effect when the selection is made. After
a computer-saved-and-named setting is made current in the radio/mode, it could
again be modified in the radio, and possibly re-saved in the radio (and
uploadable to the computer), but creation of a named setting (menu selection in
the radio) could only be done on the computer. Just ideas...

There has been much chatter about the K3 EQ
lately. I've written a small Windows application that helps to 'manage'
the equalizers. This is a work in progress, and I'm not much of a
programmer. You should take this to mean: Caveat Emptor!
The application is being used by about 20 people
now and I'm chasing a couple bugs.
1) It does not behave well when access to the K3 is
via N8LP's LP-Bridge. This is NOT an LP-Bridge issue. There is no
direct way to read the EQ settings other than simulating button presses and
reading the VFO B area. The problem is that the EQ setting displayed on
VFO B only appears momentarily and is then replaced with the 'label' for the EQ
band. Because LP-Bridge is polling the K3, my app will sometimes miss the
data.
2) The app is written in MS Visual Basic 2008 and
requires ,NET Framework 2.0 or later. If your system does not have
2.0, it will be downloaded from Microsoft. While this is not in and of
itself a problem, I do have one user that is having difficulty that looks like a
problem in the Framework - something that may well be beyond my capability
to resolve.
You can peek at the application and download it
here: http://home.roadrunner.com/~n2bc/SW.htm
I'm looking for ideas for impovement - some are
proposed on the subsequent web page. I am in the process of improving the
overall communications error handling, improving the documentation, and looking
at other ways to store the EQ settings. No timetable for these as
yet.
If this little utility is a help, great! I
would prefer that any communications regarding the program not be on the
Elecraft reflector, but rather direct to me. [hidden email]

FYI Bill, your page doesn't render well in IE7 because of its difficulty with the screen.png image file 73, Barry N1EU |

It will work for some IE7 users, but not all and probably won't work
at all in IE6. Just Google ".png IE7" Works fine in Firefox. 73, Barry N1EU On Sun, Nov 9, 2008 at 12:25 AM, Jim Miller <[hidden email]> wrote: > looks good here in ie7. > > jim ab3cv > _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Works fine here! (Vista 32 bit, IE7)
Definitely useful, but doesn't prevent me from forgetting to change eq when I change modes.

Hi Bill. I haven't tried your program with LP-Bridge, but I guess I should in case I can improve cooperation of the two. FWIW, I am working on a number of added features between LP-Bridge and PowerSDR. It's not at the top of the list, but I plan to look at supporting the EQ interfaces of PowerSDR. 73, Larry N8LP
