This application provides point-and-click / scroll-wheel control of frequency and span. This application was designed for Windows for use with the Elecraft P3 with the SVG add-on and a video capture device like this one.
This script was a co-development with ChatGPT. It can be compiled into an executable by:
pip install pyinstaller
pyinstaller --onefile --windowed K3_P3.py
This will create:
dist/ K3_P3.exe build/ (temporary build files) K3_P3.spec
Your executable will be in the dist folder.
- Select video source, comm port and baudrate that is compatible with your setup and click 'Save'.
- Span selections are 10K, 50K, 100K, and 200K.
- Dropdowns provided to indicate and control Band and Mode.
- MKRA, MKRB select a marker that can be moved by clicking on the spectrum or waterfall.
