Out of Band Xmit

I just discovered by accident that my KX3 will xmit out of the ham bands. Is this able to be locked so I can't do that? I confirmed it was really transmitting using another radio. I didn't try voice, just a CW tune by accident.

Re: Out of Band Xmit

I believe thats so people who do MARS work can operate...... learn to
monitor yourself thats part of being a ham...

Locking the firmware would be wrong. this is not just a ham
transceiver..... its a full op transceiver..

Re: Out of Band Xmit

I didn't ask to be taught how to operate. I didn't criticize that it CAN transmit out of band, or that it was a bad thing. I understand the uses for xmitting out of band. I asked if there was a feature to lock it into ham bands that can be OPTIONALLY enabled.

Get off your high horse.

Re: Out of Band Xmit

That's a good idea, especially if I can set them myself.

A text warning on the display would be nice too.

I can appreciate that. And I would not want it to delay other features. But to compare to other radios, most are inverted in this operating method. They are locked into bands of their localization and require either modification or proof of MARS license to open it. I'm not for locking it down either, and would be satisfied with band edge beeps. I have a blind ham that uses this radio quite a bit, and it would be optimize his operation of the radio. He is always having it announce VFO location because of the radio's "openness" to be extra careful.

Re: Out of Band Xmit

Chris,

That would be 'nice', but consider that not only the band limits of the
various countries is involved, but domestically, the "band limits"
depend on the operator's license class. Should this be extended to
include the CW band limits for Technician hams, phone bands and CW bands
for General Class, and full band coverage for Extra class licensees?

As I see it, the request becomes complex. It is incumbent on any
operator to restrict his/her operation to the frequencies limited by
their country and their license class.

Yes, such limits are possible. Elecraft sends a special file for those
countries that require that the transmissions be locked down to the
limits of that country. In countries that do not require that
'lock-down', it is up to the operator to stay within the bounds
permitted by the license.

I think we enjoy that freedom of self policing here in the US and many
other countries.

Re: Out of Band Xmit

In reply to this post by Chris Johnson

I really need out of band TX of KX3. In combination with the build in SWR
meter it is a great help in antenna tuning process and saves me carrying MFJ
259 in expeditions. Besides it is the only antenna SWR meter that I can use
on 160 and 80 meters in the vicinity of a powerful broadcasting station.
I do not mind optionally locking TX when out of the ham bands. The problem
being ham band limits are different in different countries.

What am I missing here. In CW, my KX3 (US Kit build) rolls the power back and gives me the message, "BND END" when I try to transmit out of band. Usually takes a DIT or two before it realizes it. I admit, I can hear it in another receiver close by, but the output to the antenna is very low according to the KX3's power meter. Haven't measured it with an external watt meter yet, though.

See the Owner's Manual, Pg 41 under Transmit, "BND END: Attempt to transmit out of the allowed ham band.

Re: Fw: Out of Band Xmit

I think BND END only applies with the KX3 if you try to transmit _just_
below 28MHz :-)

Re: Out of Band Xmit

In reply to this post by Chris Johnson-2

Hi,

Yay, another blind Elecraft user :)

Beeps at band edges may be helpful, but, using both a K2 and a KX3, I’m getting by without them. While it’s true that when I get close to band edges I check the readout more often, it’s equally true that having the readout in the first place is just super fantastic. For the K3, I understand that the Hampod (http://www.hampod.com) is very cool. Think it also works for the KX3, but the morse readout gives me just about everything I need, apart from the menus, and I’m going to start playing with manipulating those with a Raspberry Pi, just for fun….

One strategy that might help would be to set up the band edges in the quick access memories. Sorry, I don’t even know if this concept carries over to the K3, but the KX3 has four quick access memories per band, which can be accessed with number 1 through 4. Where some might set up, say, a QRP calling frequency, plus favorite nets or what have you, I’d suggest that setting upper and lower band limits for cw and voice would be a great use for these. On a side note, it’s a shame there isn’t one more of these in the KX3, then all five 60M channels could be programmed in, using VFO’s A and B for the cw and SSB freqs, but I digress somewhat.

So, your fiend could punch up a band edge and then tune up or down from there. True, it’s not a band beep, but it might satisfy your stated goal.

Re: Out of band xmit

In reply to this post by Chris Johnson

Good idea Buddy. I originally put band edges for each band into the first 10 memory channels, VFO a for lower edge and VFO b for upper edge. But this does take up multiple memories. I'm going to switch those to the 4 Quick Memories per band section to save space. (had to find them first in the memory editor - change view.) Thanks for making it a learning day.

Re: K3 Band Edge Marker Option (was Out of Band Xmit)

My needs are much simpler than those involving international frequency tables, license classes, memory locations, etc. I haven't thought this through thoroughly so I don't know all the ramifications. I'll leave that all to someone smarter than me.

I know that I am quite embarrassed to be told that I have just transmitted outside the legal US band (usually involves DX pounces) and would like to be reminded if my inattention causes me to do that. I see *self enforcement* here.

I could envision a "Band Marker" that could be set by the K3 user personally. Tune the VFO to the band (or sub band) edge you'd like to be notified of. Say 14.000. In the menu you find "Band Marker". Select that option and the software creates a tone (beep if you will) on 14.000. If you wanted to be alerted that you are passing the high end of the 20M band, simply set your VFO to 14.350, and, in the menu, select "Band Marker". BEEP created. Same process to mark the CW, RTTY, etc sub-band if that's your desire.

The K3 owner could be free to opt for doing this or not, as well as for which bands, license privileges or mode sub-bands he wished. Nothing forced. All on the operator (and sw guys like Lyle, of course). No software tables, band lists per country or license classes involved. Nothing to force a transmitter shut down. It would simply be an *operator assigned* aid for the *convenience* of the individual operator.

Of course, this would not help direct frequency entry band errors, instant spots, etc. Just thinking through my keyboard. ;o)

Thoughts? Someone will probably tell me that this already exists in the K3. ;o)

Re: K3 Band Edge Marker Option (was Out of Band Xmit)

A while back I thought it would be useful to be able to limit a VFO's
frequency excurusion to a user-selected segment. Then if you should
get to the end of such a defined segment the VFO reading would simply
jump to the other end of the segment and keep going, traversing the
same segment again as you kept spinning the knob.

I didn't think of this as a method of marking the legal band
boundaries, but rather for the purpose of sorting through a pileup
without having to keep looking at the frequency display, reversing VFO
direction, etc. Just keep spinning the knob and you'd always be within
your defined segment.

BTW, I don't work any pileups myself; just like to hunt through them
to find who/where the DX is currently working (no sub rcver or band
scope here). But I suppose those who generate the pileups might find
it useful as well. It could of couse also be used to limit the VFO
excursions to the legal band boundaries if someone wanted to do that.

How about sticking one of these up on your wall:

It will help you get familiar with where the band edges are, and before you know it, knowing when you are in-band will become second nature.

In reply to this post by Terry Schieler-2

As long as we're looking at band limits, how about programming for different
countries, and band limits for different classes? That way we (who don't
remember numbers well) could dial in US - General (or whatever) country and
license class, and have only those frequencies available...

Re: K3 Band Edge Marker Option (was Out of Band Xmit)

Just keeping track of all of the countries, all of the authorized
frequencies for all license classes would be a pretty big task.

Add to the fact that bands change -- sometimes we even get new ones.

If it's something that I can set, the way I want it, on my radio (or
choose not to), that's my preference.
