cw to psk
Locked
 
|
Hello all,
Just want to thank all that responded to my cry for help.I was trying to get the cw to psk to work with my key. Well after many hours trying to get it to work,with no luck. I finally sent an e-mail to K3support. Gary responded very fast.(like always). We checked out everything and I still didn't think I was putting out a psk signal. Finally Gray relayed to problem to Wayne, who suggested that I do a factory reboot. First I backed up my memories and setting with the "Utility". Can't say enough for that great piece of software. Then did the reboot. Tried cw to psk with the key again. Still sounded the same. So got an e-mail from Wayne and he suggested that I call him to see if we could work it out.Making the call and talking to him, he keyed his rig in the cw to psk mode and I listened on the phone.Whaaaa! The same sound I was getting out of my rig.HANG MY HEAD IN EMBARASSMENT!! There was nothing wrong with the rig or setup. I was just used to hearing the tones from the soundcard setup. Boy talk about a senior moment...... The best thing I did that saved me lots of work was backing up my rigs settings on the "utility program" Just did a restore and the rig was back to where it was before the hard boot. I have worked several stations using the cw-psk with the key and really think its neat. Just thought that I would pass this info on to all. And really like to thank "Gary and Wayne for the great support. Don't think you can get any better support than "ELECRAFT" Many thanks Don...w2xb |

I haven't tried the data modes; I am mainly a CW guy.
But what I would like to be able to do is this: when I'm on CW and a RTTY station fires up on top of me, I'd like to just hit a switch and send a preprogrammed RTTY QRL message to the RTTY op. Is this possible? If there was a dedicated one-button function for this in the firmware, I think it would be great. 73, Drew AF2Z On Tue, 06 Jan 2009 19:59:31 -0800 (PST), Don...w2xb wrote: > >Hello all, >Just want to thank all that responded to my cry for help.I was trying to get >the cw to psk to work with my key.

3 buttons...
mode to Data Mx where you have the message saved mode back to CW This assumes you already have data mode set for FSK-D. If you have your K3 Utility program up and running you can probably program a macro to do it all in with one click. ------------------------- 73, Greg - AB7R Whidbey Island WA NA-065 On Wed Jan 7 6:45 , drewko sent: >I haven't tried the data modes; I am mainly a CW guy. > >But what I would like to be able to do is this: when I'm on CW and a >RTTY station fires up on top of me, I'd like to just hit a switch and >send a preprogrammed RTTY QRL message to the RTTY op.

Ok, thanks Greg. That seems to work well enough. I don't think I need
the macro now. 73, Drew AF2Z On Wed, 07 Jan 2009 10:13:20 -0500, Greg - AB7R wrote: >3 buttons... > >mode to Data > >Mx where you have the message saved > >mode back to CW > > > >This assumes you already have data mode set for FSK-D. > > > >If you have your K3 Utility program up and running you can probably program a macro > >to do it all in with one click. > > > > > >------------------------- > >73, > >Greg - AB7R > >Whidbey Island WA > >NA-065 > > _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
