![]() ![]() You can click on the band/mode option that is appropriate, or you can enter them into the first text box. For Field Day you won’t see options for 12, 17, or 30m for a CW-only contest you would only have one column. In this example we are doing general logging, so all modes and the WARC bands are shown. It is very important that you update your choice every time you change bands or modes on the radios, or else you will have an invalid log. This example is for general logging such as an operating day for Field Day you would only see three boxes since the exchange is simply the call sign, class, and section.Īt the left are four columns to quickly select the band and mode. The number of boxes will vary based on the contest and expected exchange. For CARS events, the software will be set up for you.Īcross the top of the window you see five text input boxes. ![]() There are plenty of resources on the web about setting it up, and we can discuss the powerful extra features later. In this article we’ll look at how to use it for simple logging. With the K3S's meter in ALC mode, transmitting into a dummy load or on a dead band, set the Windows level control for the USB Audio Codec's "speaker" output and/or the K3S's MIC gain control to get 4-5 bars of indication on the ALC meter.N1MM+ is a powerful software logging program that is popular with contesters. In the K3S, with the rig in either AFSK A or DATA A, make sure MAIN:MIC SEL is set to LINE IN, and rotate the MIC gain knob so that the setting is not at zero (somewhere between LINE 5 and LINE 10 is usually good). You must configure the sound card settings in fldigi to use the rig's USB Audio Codec for both receive and transmit (capture and playback). You want to do that without extra audio cables, so your only choice for a sound card is the USB audio codec inside the rig. Fldigi needs a sound card to do its thing, and the audio to and from the rig needs to get into that sound card. In the N1MM+ Configurer, using the Set button for the COM port you are using for rig control, check the check box that says PTT via Radio Command Digital Mode. The simpler of the two is by radio command. Since you said you don't want to use VOX (the simplest choice), you have two other choices using the USB cable. You will also want to set the Mode Control in the N1MM+ Configurer to select the correct modes - Mode sent to radio for RTTY will be AFSK (this will put the K3S into AFSK A when the program is in RTTY mode), and for PSK will be PSK (this will put the K3S into DATA A when the program is in PSK mode). Check that N1MM+ can read the frequency from the rig as you rotate the knob on the radio, and that you can change bands on the radio from N1MM+. That is the port number you need to configure for rig control in N1MM+. If there is more than one port listed there, you can tell which one is the correct one by unplugging the cable for half a minute or so and plugging it back in while watching Device Manager to see which port number disappears and reappears as you do this. Plugging the cable into the rig and powering up the rig should cause Windows to install a driver for the K3S's USB to serial adapter if it hasn't already done so, and the COM port number assigned to the port by Windows will show up in the Windows Device Manager under Ports (COM & LPT). If you don't already have this working, then to do it using the USB cable the K3S's CONFIG:RS232 needs to be set to USB. ![]() ![]() Instead of looking for a cookbook recipe, try working through what functions are needed and how to implement them. ![]()
