[Elecraft] Another thought for the XG3 Utility

[Dick Dievendorff]

We were showing this on a P3 at the Visalia DX Convention last weekend.

There are two "programmable functions" (sweeps) described on page 10 of the
XG3 Owner's Manual.  The XG3 Utility supports their setup.

You choose the start, end, and step size frequencies with a resolution of 1
Hz, the time interval between steps (1 to 64K msec), and a check box that
indicates whether the sweep should be repeated. 

Once the sweep settings are sent to the XG3, you can disconnect the PC
program and initiate the sweep by HOLDing the band up/down buttons (HOLD is
PF1 and PF2).  Tap any button to stop the sweep. Or you can leave the PC
program connected and click the Sweep 1 or Sweep 2 buttons on the Operate
page of the XG3 Utility.  

See "Edit Sweep Memories" on the Configuration tab of the XG3 Utility. You
can install the XG3 Utility and peruse Help even if your XG3 hasn't yet
arrived.  I have a fair number of screen shot images of the various dialogs
in Help.

There's a link to install the XG3 Utility at the bottom of this web page:

If the XG3 Utility software had the ability to automatically step through a
defined frequency range, K3/P3 owners could view a graphical response curve
of whatever they were evaluating (antenna, filter, etc).
