Programming REQ?

Hi,
I'm writing a utility to control the equalizer via a PC which would allow quick changing from the PC desktop but I seem to be missing something?
I can get the EQ menu with a MN008; and then I can do an UP or DN to control the value of the EQ-1 range. How does one go to the next range? i.e. EQ-2?
Thanks, Tom VA2FSQ

Tom
Use the SWTnn command. Where nn is determined by using the table on page 23 of the programmer guide. So for band one, send SWT11. For band 4, send SWT24.
Hope this helps.

You could use SWT for the keypad switches. See the programmer's
manual, Table 7 (K3), Table 8 (KX3).

SWT11 emulates presing the '1' key, SWT12 is '2', etc. They're not
entirely in order, so you will need the tables.

Re: Programming REQ?

Thanks guys!! Got it.
Now, here's a question; I've written software to control the P3 from Windows using a frame grabber. So far the software only pertains to the P3, but now I'm thinking having this as well would be great. What should I do? New software?, or add-on?
Thanks

Well Tom. I think you need to add them together....along with total k-line control... K3, KPA500, KAT500, and P3. I have started that project but have temporarily dogged off to write an app that queries the K3 and sends all Main and Configuration functions to notepad.

Why not use the TE command?

TE (Transmit EQ; SET only) SET format: TEabcdefgh; where a through h
are 3-character values, each with a range of –16 to +16 dB. Values a
through h correspond to EQ bands as follows: a = 50 Hz, b = 100 Hz, c =
200 Hz, d = 400 Hz, e = 800 Hz, f = 1600 Hz, g = 2400 Hz, h = 3200 Hz.
Important: If the current transmit mode (VFO B mode in SPLIT) is SSB, CW or
DATA, TE applies to SSB. If the transmit mode is ESSB, AM, or FM, TE
affects ESSB/AM/FM. The two setups are saved separately because SSB EQ is
typically optimized for communications effectiveness, while ESSB/AM/FM is
often optimized for fidelity. (ESSB mode is selected using the CONFIG:TX
ESSB menu entry.) Note: If the TX EQ menu entry is displayed at the time TE
is sent, the display will be updated accordingly.

Works for me on the KX3. Can't say for the K3.

Re: Programming REQ?

re TE: I was looking for receive, to optimize the sound for various DX. As far as I looked, there is no equivalent for receive.

Hi,

Pleas from others and myself for an RE command have fallen on deaf ears for at least two years.

Re: Programming REQ?

I thought that was what the SHIFT and LO - Cut - HI controls were
for?

Hi,

Nope, those move around brick wall cut off edges. The equalizer makes soft changes within the passband betwen the brick walls.
