P3 SVGA Anomalies

[Jim Rogers, W4ATK]

An observation while copying W1AW CW broadcast which has an excellent S/N ratio here, I have noticed characters being dropped on the SVGA monitor screen. "NOT" displayed on the K3 appeared as "NT" on the monitor. "REDUCE" on the K3 display is shown as "REDCE" on the SVGA monitor for a couple of examples. This is a frequent occurrence and is not related to a particular character. If the K3 has it, why is it being dropped by the SVGA/FFT board? Also wordspaces are not being handled properly at elevated speeds.

I assume the decoded characters are being passed to the P3 via the CAT connection as MacLogger DX's keyer function also displays the decoded CW from the K3 and in past observations does so quite faithfully..

I look forward to the promised upgrades of the decoder software.

Hi Jim,

I haven't been able to duplicate that bug, can you tell me what resolution you are using on the SVGA and if you are in fixed tune or tracking mode?  

You are correct in that the characters are coming over the serial port from the K3.  That's why I find it strange that the SVGA could be missing them. Please email me directly, my email is pauls [at] elecraft.com

Paul, (N6HZ) I posted previously with no response regarding P3SVGA_data
keyboard send not cancelling M(1-4) repeat function in cq.
Hence that you can respond to a cq response with keyboard and have the
M(1-4) repeat timed call shut down auto.

 Is this possible to implement?

Thankyou

Adrian ... vk4tux

I've emailed you directly on this.

Adrian,

I am pretty sure you can simply program a macro to do this.  Have you tried it?
