Silly question about DVK3
 
|
OK, used my DVK for the first time, pretty simple to record and use BUT, I couldn't figure out how to stop a message. This may not be possible.
I use N1MM and ESC has been effective with recordings on the computer, but doesn't stop the DVK. I didn't notice anything in the instructions about a manual stop from one of the K3 buttons. Can this be done, and if so, how? Sounds great and GREEEEEAT to have 10m open! 73, Julius n2wn

Hi Julius,
first thanks for calling me on 10 m on Saturday, our QSO and the points were much appreciated. ;-)) Concerning your question: If you configure "Radio PTT via command" in the COM port settings aborting with the ESC key should work. Besides this you can stop the DVK output on the transceiver itself by either pressing PTT (microphone or foot-switch) or by pressing the REC button (just a tap). Have fun! 73, Olli - DH8BQA ----- Original Message ----- From: "Julius Fazekas n2wn" <[hidden email]> To: <[hidden email]> Sent: Monday, October 31, 2011 5:54 PM Subject: [Elecraft] Silly question about DVK3 > OK, used my DVK for the first time, pretty simple to record and use BUT, I > couldn't figure out how to stop a message.

Hello! I hope I do all right here, this is my first try in a mail-list.
Anyone uses the HC6 Heil Headset with the K3? I use it since a few weeks. And the modulation is not perfect. What are your settings for it? I know that the EQ setting isnt the same for everyone. But I get a way to try... 73, Dirk - DO1HDR ______________________________________________________________ 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 Olli,
Both of your methods work, thanks... Still am unable to get the ESC key to stop a message, even after trying different settings, but placing a "-" on a function key seems to do the trick. 73, Julius n2wn

Unfortunately they changed N1MM Logger such that it no longer
generates an "RX;" command when Escape is pressed, even when "PTT via radio command" is enabled. You can program one of the F-keys to send the "RX;" command instead.... at least for now - hopefully we can come up with a solution to make the Escape key work again, as that's the most intuitive method, IMO... ~iain / N6ML On Wed, Nov 2, 2011 at 4:49 PM, Julius Fazekas n2wn <[hidden email]> wrote: > Hi Olli, > > Both of your methods work, thanks... > > Still am unable to get the ESC key to stop a message, even after trying > different settings, but placing a "-" on a function key seems to do the > trick. > > 73, > Julius > n2wn > > ----- > Julius Fazekas > N2WN > > Tennessee Contest Group > http://www.k4ro.net/tcg/index.html > > Tennessee QSO Party > http://www.tnqp.org/ > > Elecraft K2 #4455 > Elecraft K3/100 #366 > Elecraft K3/100 > -- > View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Silly-question-about-DVK3-tp6948894p6956013.html > Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > ______________________________________________________________ > 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 > 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 Julius,
I just started using the DVR3 here but I found a way to stop the message. I use WriteLog and programmed one of the function keys to activate the K3's REC button. This is the same thing you would do if running the messages from the K3 front panel. It's not the ESC key I am accustomed to but it does the trick for a SSB contest. 73, Pat K0PC |

Pat, you referred to using WriteLog to control the KDVR3. I was not aware
that capability was incorporated yet in WriteLog. Can you please provide details on how this is done? My present version of WriteLog is 10.86C. 73, Fred, AE6IC ______________________________________________________________ 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 |

The problem with using the REC button is that you may accidentally hit
that key when playback is not in progress, and get yourself all "out of sync". You should be able to to program one of the F-keys with something like: {CATA1ASC RX;}{CATA2ASC RX;} and that should stop DVR playback. 73, ~iain / N6ML On Tue, Nov 8, 2011 at 11:52 AM, Julius Fazekas n2wn <[hidden email]> wrote: > Hi Pat, > > Wound up using the same trick...

Fred,
I'm not sure when this feature was added but you can send commands to the radio with the message function keys. Open the CW/RTTY/SSB Memory Setup window and select the Help button. The radio commands are sent when you use %GAxx in the message. The xx refers to a command number you define in writelog.ini. An example will show what I'm doing. I have a CQ message stored in M1 on the K3 and want to send it using F1. My F1 message in WriteLog is %GA11. Now I need to define command #11 in writelog.ini. I added a line to the [Elecraft_K3_commands] section that says: Macro_11=SWT21; You need to start at command number 11 or higher because 0 through 10 are reserved. The SWT21; comes directly from the K3 Programmer's Reference. I have defined five macros in writelog.ini so far, one for each of the M1-M4 buttons and one for the REC button to use as a way to kill a message being sent. So my file looks like this: [Elecraft_K3_commands] Macro_11=SWT21; Macro_12=SWT31; Macro_13=SWT35; Macro_14=SWT39; Macro_19=SWT37; The message for F9 is %GA19 and I reassign the ESC key to send Message 9 to make it work like CW. As others have said the ESC key is a bit of a kludge and could cause problems if it is hit when a message is not playing. But the worst case is you would have to hit it again to reset before hitting another message key. I'm still trying to find a way to used both memory banks but so far no go. 73, Pat K0PC |

Thanks Ian, I hadn't spotted the RX; command but it is exactly what I needed. I have changed my ESC key macro from SWT37; to RX;.
I am also trying to use both memory banks with a command like SWH37;SWT21;SWH37; i.e. REC(hold) => M1 => REC(hold) My hope was to switch to bank 2 send the message and switch back to bank 1. The second REC cancels the recording immediately and the DVR is left in bank 2. Any ideas on how to do this? Thanks & 73, Pat KØPC |

Wow, Pat. Thanks for the great info on triggering the KDVR3 from WriteLog.
I've used WriteLog since 2003 FD so it's hard to switch to a new logger. Now I don't have to. 73, Fred, AE6IC ______________________________________________________________ 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 |
