[Elecraft] K3 command syntax?

[Wayne Burdick]

Rich,

Some commands can take longer to execute that others. RX, for example, kicks off a process that may not be done by the time the first SWH13 is handled. You could probably substitute a small string of semicolons instead, with each one introducing a millisecond or two of delay.

So:

     ... RX;;;;;;;;;SWH13;

One way to provide a longer delay is to use an IF (info) command. This causes the radio to emit about 40 bytes of frequency info, etc., which takes 50-100 ms. If you have a computer attached, make sure that the applications running don't mind getting an unsolicited IF response string.

In this case you'd have:

     ... RX;FA;SWH13;

73,
