P3 "feature" request
Locked
 
|
Asking for new features seems to have become common, you'd think Wayne
was Santa Claus and the employees were his elves. I'd like to weigh in with one for me ... I've gotten a bit active in NTS, I even agreed to NCS one night a week. I was very active in NTS in the mid-50's as a teenager. My P3 is really cool for picking working frequencies up and down. However, I'm having a problem remembering where I send who for what. I'd like a feature that would put a tag with a call sign on the signal when I send someone up or down for traffic. This shouldn't be too hard. ;-)) I'm willing to type the call, although picking it out of my Notepad notes would be icing on the cake. I'll leave cookies, milk, and a Corona out Christmas Eve, take your pick. 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 50th Running of the Cal QSO Party 3-4 Oct 2015 - www.cqp.org ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

How about CWskimmer? It will help you track where you have sent them... ;>)

If we are in the realm of science fiction, here is what I want (after my flying car):
Ever miss a letter in a call or aren't sure if a DX station came back to you? The information is still there, sitting in the memory of the P3, scrolling down the waterfall. On a large monitor it is there for a long time. What if you could click on a spot on the screen with a mouse and play it back? Instant replay!

This is exactly the effect you get with cocoModem on PSK. Click
on the waterfall and everything from then to now is decoded, possibly again. With two decoding windows (like VFOs), I generally tune around with both but use both to decode while making a QSO. The slightly different decoding frequencies (1-2 Hz at most) give complimentary results. I would love to have this feature in any system with a waterfall. 73 Bill AE6JV On 12/11/14 at 9:28 PM, [hidden email] (Vic Rosenthal) wrote: >Ever miss a letter in a call or aren't sure if a DX station >came back to you?

Even better would be if someone could develop software to display logger
bandmap on the P3SVGA monitor. 73, Hank, W6SX On Wed, Dec 10, 2014 at 9:28 PM, Vic Rosenthal <[hidden email]> wrote: Ever miss a letter in a call or aren't sure if a DX station came back to > you?

That's actually pretty much what I have used CW Skimmer for in several contests. I feed the audio from my K3 into my computer sound card, and I use CW Skimmer in "Audio Mode" (essentially single single frequency audio bandwidth) without the decoding feature enabled. In other words, I use CW Skimmer purely for it's excellent waterfall (sharpest and clearest I've seen amongst similar software) that scrolls from right to left so that the display can be visibly decoded by eye in the proper orientation (reading left to right). I even wrote a couple of AutoHotKey macros to have CW Skimmer pause/unpause the display when I realize I've missed a character. Even without the pause macro I can fit about twelve seconds worth of readable history on my 22 inch display. It took a bit of recalibration to learn how to decode by eye and I don't have to use it often, but at times it comes in very handy to avoid repeat requests. 73, Dave AB7E On 12/10/2014 10:28 PM, Vic Rosenthal wrote: > If we are in the realm of science fiction, here is what I want (after my flying car): > > Ever miss a letter in a call or aren't sure if a DX station came back to you?

I was joking. Apparently "cookies, milk, and a Corona on Christmas Eve"
wasn't as obvious as I thought it would be. 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 50th Running of the Cal QSO Party 3-4 Oct 2015 - www.cqp.org On 12/10/2014 9:28 PM, Vic Rosenthal wrote: > If we are in the realm of science fiction, here is what I want (after > my flying car): ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |
