Apologies for resend; used wrong email address for sending to list and
was rejected, but I want my bugs fixed ;-) > This should be working and we should be responding. We?re looking into it. > Meanwhile: what?s your question? I?m always available May I use the query on KX3 transverter bugs to ask the status of bugs on the K3/K3s? Here, too, transverters give issues. I have configured a transverter band (for oscar-100), and subsequently disabled the HF bands (CONFIG:BAND MAP OFF for all the HF bands). Now, the K3 shows erratic behavior: when on he transverter band, instead of the BAND buttons being inactive, BAND UP switches to 80m (which was disabled), and BAND DOWN switches to 20m (which was also disabled). Enabling any HF band makes this problem go away, but this allows accidental transmitting on antenna ports that are not connected. This was reported several years ago, never solved. Another issue is with the P3. One of the command keys, scroll lock, is only available on a regular-size keyboard,, not on a compact keyboard. And a compact keyboard saves a lot of real estate on the operating desk. Defining an alternative keystroke would enable use of compact keyboards and is a trivial change. These problems were reported several years ago. I know the focus is on the K4 but these issues should not be hard to fix, not even with Corona restrictions...

One hack to avoid damage to the radio from transmitting when
there is no antenna attached is to run with power settings by band and set the power for that HF band to zero. 73 Bill AE6JV On 3/1/21 at 1:55 PM, [hidden email] (Geert Jan de Groot) wrote: >Enabling any HF band makes >this problem go away, but this allows accidental transmitting on antenna >ports that are not connected. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Bill Frantz | My subscription to Life | Periwinkle (408)348-7900 | expired, but I still have a | 150 Rivermead Rd #235 www.pwpconsult.com | subscription to Mad. - WA1LOU| Peterborough, NH 03458 ______________________________________________________________ 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] |
