I agree with those that would like to see TX monitoring and how about
wider range it'd be handy for quick looks at say 10m for activity to see 400 or 500 KHZ. I do some SSTV and enjoy it I think there are more of us than you think and not just the fools on 14.230 sending soft porn. however if I want to play SSTV I am running MMSSTV anyway that has good templates sending and lots of function, ability to store images etc. I am not sure just to add the ability to monitor incoming pictures would be a good use of resources. unless you are planning to implement something with MMSSTV's level of capability. adding more comprehensive RTTY/psk function or perhaps JT65/9 or even a simple logger so I don't need to drag the the PC when outside the shack would be nice. just pie in the sky thing there. -- David Moes VE3DVY ______________________________________________________________ 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] |

I agree with you David, I think there are a lot of other things that
would be much more useful to a much larger audience than receive-only SSTV. I'm still working at what the "ideal" span on my P3 would be, in the NAQP SSB yesterday, I had it at 100 KHz and it seemed pretty good. For CW, I have been running at 50 KHz because the signals are so much closer together ... I'll give CW a try at 100 KHz and see how that works. My K3 is S/N 642, and I'm still playing around with how to use it and what to set things at. Yet another new dimension to ham radio. 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 2014 Cal QSO Party 4-5 Oct 2014 - www.cqp.org On 8/17/2014 3:37 PM, david Moes wrote: > I agree with those that would like to see TX monitoring and how about > wider range it'd be handy for quick looks at say 10m for activity to > see 400 or 500 KHZ. > > I do some SSTV and enjoy it I think there are more of us than you > think and not just the fools on 14.230 sending soft porn. however if > I want to play SSTV I am running MMSSTV anyway that has good templates > sending and lots of function, ability to store images etc. I am not > sure just to add the ability to monitor incoming pictures would be a > good use of resources. unless you are planning to implement something > with MMSSTV's level of capability. adding more comprehensive > RTTY/psk function or perhaps JT65/9 or even a simple logger so I don't > need to drag the the PC when outside the shack would be nice. just > pie in the sky thing there. > ______________________________________________________________ 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] |

We just added per-band SPAN settings to the PX3 (and will later add it to the P3). We're also adding a menu setting to quantize the SPAN selections to 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 kHz. This behavior would be user-selectable; the default would be continuously variable, as it is at present.
For a lot of P3/PX3 users, the combination of these two changes will result in less manipulation of the SPAN control, and will save some Fn switches for other uses.

Would it make more sense for it to be per-mode rather than per-band? For example, I can imagine on CW you might want to zoom in more than on SSB. Maybe some P3 owners can comment?

We're considering per-mode as well, but at the moment we're experimenting with per-band. Input welcome.

I'd prefer it per mode. My presets are:
10 kHz - CW 20 kHz - CW/data 50 kHz - Phone 100 kHz - Phone I usually operate CW. Switching to phone means I have to mash (that's what we do to buttons in the South ;) ) a button to get a good span.

In addition to the below stuff, I'd like to be able to set an automatic reference level. Seems like I am always changing it to keep the waterfall display looking right.

I tend to run 20 kHz on phone and 7 to 10 kHz on CW as I'm mostly interested in the signal I'm receiving and the adjaceant signals. I typically do not change the spans when I change bands, only when changing modes. 73, Nate, N0NB -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.

I would agree with that... but first, there is another point that needs
to be rationalized in the K3 (and, I presume, the KX3 also). DATA is not a single mode - it is only a "folder name" for a collection of different data sub-modes. Many of those sub-modes require quite different settings for the transceiver bandwidth and center frequency; and that is equally true about the optimum bandwidths for a visual display. At present the K3 has... let's call it an "oversight"... in the way that it memorizes data sub-modes. It correctly memorizes the last-used data sub-mode on each band, but not the bandwidth setting appropriate to that sub-mode. Instead, the bandwidth settings for *all* data sub-modes on *all* bands are overwritten by the settings for whichever sub-mode was most recently used on *any* band. This is often quite inappropriate, and inconvenient for anyone whose interests cover a range of data sub-modes. That problem needs to be fixed in the K3/KX3 firmware before moving on to upgrade to automate the display settings of the P3 and the PX3. 73 from Ian GM3SEK >-----Original Message----- >From: Elecraft [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Joe >Subich, W4TV >Sent: 18 August 2014 13:17 >To: Wayne Burdick >Cc: [hidden email] >Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Slow-scan TV (SSTV) display on the P3 and PX3? > > >On 2014-08-18 1:10 AM, Wayne Burdick wrote: > > We're considering per-mode as well, > >I agree that per mode is more valuable than per band.

I think it would be helpful to center the span on the A-cursor when changing spans. Often when going from 50 KHz to 10 KHz (e.g. take a closer look at a pileup) the cursor winds up on the far right side of the screen. My $0.02.
