#Microham microkeyer ii setup with ic 7800 serial
I simply disconnected the serial link from the K3 and connected it to RRig COM1, then connected the RRig COM2 port to the K3 serial port.

I find this works fine.Ģ) I can use my PC Logging Program (along with the SteppIR control, Rotor control, etc.) with the COM1 port configured as you described (the way it came configured from Elecraft). BUT, I can still use the MicroKeyer II for CW, by connecting it in parallel with the RRig CW keying line using a "Y" cable for the 1/8" connector. Anything that uses the audio to and from the K3 will be used by the RRig. I've learned two things since my original post.ġ) I have to make a choice between using the RRig interface or the MicroKeyer II for RTTY, Voice Keying and Digital Modes. I have posted my message because I guess some other may have interest in the matter. I've tried to hook the RRC Controller to the RS232 of the K3, and the MicroKEYER and the P3 to COM1 of RRC setting COM1 to Mode-7, Cat to COM2 (local&remote) at the needed baud rate (38400 baud), but unfortunatelly the data flow is not smooth and continuous and both the MicroKEYER and the P3 has a strange behaviour.Ĭan be safe to parallel ACC, Microphone, KEY and PTTIN lines of RRC box and MicroKeyer ? My question to the forum is: does anyone uses the same setup ? What the best way to connect the RS232 lines of the MicroKEYER and RRC Box to the radio ? I want to use also the Panadapter P3 who has a pass through Rs232 connection. It is very flexible in Phone, CW and RTTY operations, and is also in charge of controlling the PTT of the linear amplifier (Expert 1K-FA) as well as the SteppIR and the antenna switch thanks to the auxiliary CAT output. PC and each radio on the shack (I'm using another MicroKeyer also with my main rig, the IC-7800). I like very much the microKeyer because it is the ideal interface between my My home set up is based upon a MicroHam MicroKeyer MKII that must beĬonnected to the K3, sharing many connectors with the RRC Radio Box. K3/100 to the remote use only as I did with the TS-480, but when I'm at home, I intend to continue to use the K3 as second rig, possibly without disconnecting a single wire! Others antennas switched by the WebSwitch 1216H.īut now comes the difficult task: as you said, I dont want to dedicate the (shared with the K3 thanks to the two switchable inputs), SteppIR 4El and Remote set up based on a dedicated Kenwood TS-480, a SPE 1K-FA Amplifier use USER mode (push and hold PKT button) if you need USB mode for AFSK (WSJT).I'm just coming from the same exciting esperience with my brand new K3/0, set menu 6-1 RTTY polarity to "reversed" on switch serial port function to RS232C (CAT), menu. for RTTY AFSK or any other digital modes use DATA mode and rear panel switch must be in AFSK position for FSK RTTY use radio DATA LSB mode and rear panel switch must be in FSK position. do not use rear PTT (PTT2) in CW/USB/LSB use PKT/DATA mode for AFSK digital modes do not use PTT in CW mode (except for Orion) has not connected ACC jack properly, look at set both front and rear panel PTT (PTT1+2) for digital modes short together HSEND and VSEND (pin 6+3) on ACC2 for proper VHF/UHF PTT keying address must be different to CI-V Address! can be ON if logger is not confused by automated dataĬI-V USB to Remote Transceive address = default remote address of the radio microphone configuration in keyer must be set to EL (MK, MKII) or preamplifier bypassed (MK2R, MK2R+) for stock microphoneįor simultaneous USB and CI-V (REMOTE jack) CAT control keeping both band data for microHAM products, and spectrum screen replication in logger use these settings:ĬI-V Address = default CI-V address of the radio whenever possible, use USB D/LSB D instead USB/LSB for AFSK set CI-V baud rate to some particular baud rate, not Auto
Due to its construction it is possible to plug it in upside-down. make sure DIN13 ACC plug is correctly inserted to the radio. if you have P3, CAT connection flow is microHAM interface - P3 (PC jack) - K3.īaud rate set to 38400 in all Router, P3 and K3 Use E980297 adapter supplied by Elecraft for K3S
use DATA A mode for all audio keying based (AFSK) digital modes if constant level audio output is low, add amplifier between interface and radio. use separate 12V power supply if radio does not provides auxiliary 12V output.ĭo not use same 12V power supply for interface as for transceiver. turn OFF internal CW keyer in the radio Most important transceiver settings and notes related to proper operation with our products.
