P3 setup

Greetings to the group.

I have been trying to recall how to set up the P3 so that the K3 frequency is aligned on the left side of the display. That is very handy for working dx where the dx signal is on the left side of the display and the pileup is spread out to the right. I've searched the archives and the manual but can't find the answer, although I'm pretty sure it appeared o this forum some time back.

Can anyone set me straight, please?

Thanks,

Re: P3 setup

Hi Chuck,
Take a look at:

http://nk7z.net/adding-external-keypad-k3/

About halfway down on the page is a link to a spread sheet of macros.
Click on it to download. Then take a look at spread sheet line 60,
macro 39.

It is titled "SPLIT+5", if you fire that macro set off the P3 moves the
current center frequency shown on the P3, to the left edge of the P3,
then puts the K3 in split mode, and syncs the two VFOs, in addition to a
slew other setup functions.

The entire web page is devoted to using a pad to fire off macros, as
opposed to a keyboard.

I have 64 key Genovation keypad, and I press any single key, and a macro
set is fired into the K3/P3. I almost never touch my K3 anymore, just
fire macros at it via the pad.

73s and thanks,
Dave

Chuck,

With the P3 in "Tracking" mode, you can active the "Center" function
with the SPAN/CENTER button (third button down the right) and then use
the knob to move the cursor anywhere you want. I have several useful
"Span" widths stored in some of the "FN" buttons so that I don't have to
leave "Center" mode to change the "Span". That allows me to quickly
re-position the cursor after changing the "Span" to accommodate the size
of a particular pileup.

73,

Thanks for the quick response, gentlemen. I've got what I need now, and Dave, thanks for the link to your site with the spreadsheet. Much appreciated.

Re: P3 setup

Have fun... Look into setting up the Genovation pad, it is a blast to
just hit the "SPLIT+5" button and have the entire radio and P3 preset
themselves in about 2 seconds... :) Great for DX...

Take care!

73s and thanks,
