my k1 is arriving fully built next week.
(thank colin m0ccgh for building it) i have a query though about it the keyed test modes mentioned on peg 55 of their handbook it says that you can practice sending recording messages OR JUST SENDING CODE WITH THE KEYER ( my caps) i would like to use it to listen to my code as i learn can i use my k1 for that? colin seems to think that i can't could some experts help me please? this would prove very useful to me... |
To use "test mode" for practicing CW sending on the K1:
Select the OUT menu entry and hold EDIT to display the power output level. Next, hold DISPLAY. The power output parameter will change to P = 0 , indicating that the transmitter is disabled. To restore the original power level setting, hold DISPLAY again. --Andrew, NV1B On Thu, Oct 18, 2012 at 5:08 AM, greg fripp <[hidden email]> wrote: > my k1 is arriving fully built next week. > ... > i would like to use it to listen to my code as i learn > can i use my k1 for that? > ______________________________________________________________ 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 |

Greg,
You can use most any transceiver that generates sidetone for that purpose. Turn the power down and attach a dummy load. With the K1, set the menu OUT parameter to as low a setting as possible. I would attach a dummy load in any event, even if the indicated power output is zero. 73, Don W3FPR On 10/18/2012 5:08 AM, greg fripp wrote: > my k1 is arriving fully built next week. > (thank colin m0ccgh for building it) > i have a query though about it > the keyed test modes mentioned on peg 55 of their handbook > it says that you can practice sending recording messages > OR JUST SENDING CODE WITH THE KEYER ( my caps) > i would like to use it to listen to my code as i learn > can i use my k1 for that? > colin seems to think that i can't > could some experts help me please? > this would prove very useful to me... > > > > -- > View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/keyer-test-mode-tp7564267.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 |

You can save messages and the listen to them repeatedly. You can set power out to zero and send messages by key and listen while sending. Note sure I understand the question. (Not an expert).
