Point me to the note for sending CW when in SSB mode.

I thought I had printed it out but can not find this neat feature. Would someone point me to it?
73 and thank you, Jack, W3TMZ ______________________________________________________________ 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 |

Hi Jack,
I like to keep the K3 manual on my computer and then search in the PDF file for phrases. Searching for CW in SSB brought me to the top of page 55: CONFIG:CW WGHT tap button 1 and you'll see CW+SSB tap button 1 again and you'll see CW-SSB 73, Mike, K2MK

The UPS tracker changed about an hour ago..
<rebel yell> YEEE HAAA! </rebel yell> The shipment arrived about 120 miles east of me today... It will make it to the RDU area tonight.. and be out for delivery tomorrow. Makes me wonder if UPS shipped it cross country on truck, or if it went by rail......

We're both waiting an extra day Bill. USPS says my KX3 will be available for pickup today, went to PO and asked; I was told to come back tomorrow and check.

I remember when I ordered my SB-102. I was stationed at Sub Base Pearl Harbor. There was no tracking in those days --- but I could see packages in the base Post Office ready for delivery through a window. Every day --- I'd stop by and look ... hoping I'd see that big Heathkit box.
Wish I still had it. Not somebody else's, but the one I built! When it finally arrived (took 3 weeks) I thought I'd died and gone to heaven .... :) Grant NQ5T Sent from my iPhone On Jun 13, 2013, at 2:26 PM, "KE7HGE" <[hidden email]> wrote: > > We're both waiting an extra day Bill. > USPS says my KX3 will be available for pickup today, went to PO and asked; I > was told to come back tomorrow and check.

As a former railroad company officer, I can tell you that UPS uses the nation's rail system very heavily for piggyback (trailer on flat car, or TOFC) shipments that are longer than one or two day's run in a truck. The "break-even" distance (rail and truck costs equal) varies depending on fuel costs and specific locale, but in general, if it's traveling more than 1,000 miles it will do most of that journey by rail. The major railroads all run UPS-only trains, and they have about the highest priority of any traffic on the line, equal priority for use of the main line with Amtrak, and sometimes higher.

One thing to remember, is that unfortunately this option does NOT work if you are
using a footswitch (or a sequencer triggered by a footswitch). I still don't understand why it can't be included in the firmware as an option even if you key the TX with a footswitch, but that is the way it is. So, if that is they way you also operate, you have to make a MACRO that will automatically change to operate split and move the transmit frequency for you. I did this once, but it seemed to have disappeared with a software update :-( GL and VY 73, Lance On 6/13/2013 6:27 PM, Mike K2MK wrote: > Hi Jack, > > I like to keep the K3 manual on my computer and then search in the PDF file > for phrases.

Well you could pug the foot switch into the straight key jack, but if you did, that would be sending QLF or QRF, wouldn't it? ;o) When I first got licensed in 1976, the Oklahoma City Hamfest had a contest called the QLF contest. They had a wooden straight key about 3 or 4 feet long connected to an oscillator on which participants would send CW with their left foot. Having your shoe on was optional. 73, Tom Amateur Radio Operator N5GE ARRL Lifetime Member QCWA Lifetime Member On Thu, 13 Jun 2013 16:24:12 -0400, "Joe Subich, W4TV" <[hidden email]> wrote: > >> I still don't understand why it can't be included in the firmware as >> an option even if you key the TX with a footswitch, but that is the >> way it is. > >The rig can not tell if you want to transmit SSB or CW if you assert >PTT before the key closes and because of settling time for the various >oscillators/synthesizers/offsets can't change from SSB to CW while in >transmit.

The JB Hunt company is also a major user of rail to move freight.
I've often seen a mile of them on the rails. I'd like to see more use of rail transportation by rail to cut down on the number of overloaded 18 wheelers tearing up our roads. Here in TX they have passed legislation allowing 100,000 lb loads of wheat on the I-45 corridor to Houston. If it's legal to haul 100,000 lbs, they will haul 150,000 lbs with 54 foot long trailers.
