As you can see, connecting directly to the native COM port, all is working well. Using higher baud rates I have experienced many problems (like the one you describe). Ice_video_20200511-095325.zip (Size: 2,36 MB / Downloads: 2)Īccording to my own experience with VSPE (I use VSPE 64) I always created the splitter with 9600 bauds. Having direct access to COM4, SWL works properly.

What especial doing OmniRig in order to install it as other or additional crutch?īTW, just now I have shutted down VSPE and have switched SWL to my native COM4 instead of virtual VSPE's COM10. All of them work properly, even all four the same time. The only I need VSPE to share COM-port to Logger32 and N1MM Logger, sometimes very rare RMS Express and MixW. This will improve the CAT control and you will also have 3 more "slots" to share the virtual COm-port in other programs.As I guess, VSPE already allows to share COM-port in a few applications without additional crutches like OmniRig. For the VSPE side OmniRig counts as a single program and you "feed" 3 (in case you use Swisslog, JTDX and MixW at once). I suggest you to simplify and use OmniRig in all programs supporting it like Swisslog, JTDX, MixW. Take a look to short screen capture video in ZIP-archive, please. 1 is 100ms, 5 500ms and so on.I've tried to do it. Raise the value of the Control trasnceiver option "Time between two TX QRG queries in 1/10 seconds)" to a higher value.

I'm also using VSPE 64 bits for sharing COM ports. (09-05-2020, 10:33 PM)EA3GCV Wrote: You should not have any problems. The KYW command allows concatenating as many messages as you like seamlessly, so that is not a radio side limitation.Thank you very much for fast reply, dear Jordi.

the Elecraft KY command can only handle a 26 character message.

Sparing you the exquisite details of everything I tried, here is what the problems are that must be overcome: I then spent most of a perfectly lovely Saturday indoors in front of computer screen, and in the end got it to work… pretty much. Some of the web results I found seemed to indicate that despite N1MM documentation to the contrary, limited support of CAT based CW was possible with the KX3 (thanks K4MTX). I played with this using the KX3 ACC2 input configured for PTT, but could not get it to go.

HOW TO CONNECT N1MM LOGGER TO ELECRAFT KX3 SERIAL

I did have a hardware interface that I had built a while back, that used USB to serial port conversion to toggle the DTR line for keying my Yaesu FT-897. I don’t have a third-party interface handy.

the N1MM documentation specifically states that CW operation via CAT commands is not supported – they suggest the use of third-party hardware interfaces for CWĭang.

Computer driven CW from the Elecraft Utility program is accomplished through the CAT commands KY and KYW, which instruct the radio to send the accompanying ASCII text as Morse code.

the KX3 does not support the DTR/RTS signals needed for hardware CW keying on the ACC1 serial port used for CAT operations.

But wouldn’t it be nice to have all those N1MM macro buttons working?Ĭhecking the N1MM documentation, and then some general web searching revealed the following pieces of information: With a few mouse clicks, I had my KX3 connected in SO1V (single operator one VFO) mode, reporting band and frequency changes to the N1MM window. Knowing that this functionality works, I carefully reviewed the N1MM documentation for interface instructions. I have used these tools for updating the rig, but not for actual operation, although the utility program provides CW and digital mode capability. From there it was a slippery slope indeed…Įlecraft provides a USB cable for CAT operation and firmware updates for the KX3, along with a very nice utility program. Reviewing all the capabilities that could be mine if I interfaced my rig ( Elecraft KX3) was sorely tempting, and I began to play with hooking the rig up to the computer.

My original intent was to use it for logging only, performing all other functions manually. However for this event I downloaded it, installed it, and got it up and running with a minimum of fuss. N1MM is a very capable program, but one that I have not used in the past. Among other things, it notes that the very popular logging program, N1MM logger, has been updated to include a contest template for the SEQP. The folks running the experiment/event, HamSci, have a very nice resource page for the SEQP. I made plans to take the day off (Monday August 21) and operate from the alt-QTH in New York’s Southern Tier. So I was really excited to learn about the Solar Eclipse QSO Party, a neat way to participate in some crowd-sourced science from our location in the Northeast, where we will only see a partial eclipse. We did not include plans to travel to view the total eclipse taking place this August, it just didn’t work out with other family obligations scheduled for late this summer.
