SSB<>CW VFO offset
Locked
 
|
This is something I thought already behaved the way I want it to, but it doesn't seem to. I've read through the manual, so if I'm missing something, somebody please tell me.
If I'm copying a 6m CW signal in USB mode and switch the K3 to CW(REV) mode (which corresponds to USB), I want to see the VFO change frequency in the right direction (up, in this instance, or down when switching from CW(REV) to USB)) by the amount of the PITCH frequency. It doesn't. This means when switching from CW to SSB or back, I lose sync with the CW signal I was copying. We want to be able to stay in pitch-sync with a CW signal while switching back and forth between SSB and CW modes. If there is a setting that already sets the K3 up with this behavior, I'd like to know what it is. Otherwise, could we please have an implementation of this at the earliest opportunity? The CW-in-SSB mode behavior works great, and I love it! But we also need this VFO-offset behavior when switching between these modes as well. It should be an option you can set in Config -- "Auto offset VFO CW/SSB" or something like that. In the Kenwood TS-2000, it's called "Frequency correction for SSB-to-CW change (ON/OFF)". We VHF ops would be very grateful. Thanks, Bill W5WVO _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Hi Bill,
Firmware release 1.87 introduced this new feature: * CW KEYING IN SSB MODES: While in SSB modes, you can now send CW without changing modes or using an offset. The other station will hear the signal at your CW pitch. This is especially useful on VHF bands when SSB signals can’t be copied. To enable this feature, go into CONFIG:CW WGHT and tap ‘1’ until you see SSB +CW. Just hit the key. No need to switch modes. It is very convenient. If your contact comes back on CW, make sure auto notch is off and you may want to change the filter width if copying gets tough. Hope this helps. 73 Tony Fegan VE3QF K3 #137 Bill W5WVO wrote: > This is something I thought already behaved the way I want it to, but it doesn't seem to.

Auto-CW does help, but the present version does not provide all the features that Bill and other VHF ops need. At present we're working around it, and hoping that an upgrade is "on the list". -- 73 from Ian GM3SEK _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

What we are talking about is as already published in "wish-list" on
zerobeat forum: http://www.zerobeat.net/smf/index.php?topic=228.0 FREQUENCY CORRECTION FOR CW - OFF/ON If you operate both SSB and CW modes, you would sometimes use SSB mode (USB or LSB) just to watch and listen to CW signals. It is fine just to monitor those CW signals but you have experienced that changing the mode from SSB to CW results in losing the target CW signal. This is because the frequency on the display always shows the true carrier frequency for all modes. If you want the transceiver to shift the reception frequency to trace the receiving CW signal when changing the mode from SSB (USB or LSB) to CW, switch this function ON. The transceiver shifts the reception frequency when changing the mode from SSB to CW, so you can still hear the target signal and instantly transmit the signal in CW without adjusting the frequency. I also hope in future revision of fw :-) 73!

Thanks for pointing this out. Wayne has confirmed to me that it's on his
list. Hopefully we'll get it Real Soon Now. ;-) Bill W5WVO Alexandr Kobranov wrote: > What we are talking about is as already published in "wish-list" on > zerobeat forum: > > http://www.zerobeat.net/smf/index.php?topic=228.0 > > FREQUENCY CORRECTION FOR CW - OFF/ON > If you operate both SSB and CW modes, you would > sometimes use SSB mode (USB or LSB) just to > watch and listen to CW signals.
