Rudi, Did you look at the chart of error codes in the back of the manual and tried the correction steps given for that error? That is the first step. For ERR DSE, the correction is to reload the DSP firmware. If you tried that and obtained the same error, download a new copy of the

I have a similar equipment setup in my shack. It has been my experience that I put power onto the KAT500 first, before starting the K3. I do not start the KPA500 amplifier until the K3 indicates that it is ready to proceed - this takes only a few seconds. I have not experienced any problems

Good Morning All, I can't explain the problem, and maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree. However, in recent years it has become pretty obvious to me that microprocessors are pretty finicky! All the devices we use these days that have microprocessors seem to periodically get hung up due to

Barry: I don't have the EMU0202, so I can't say about the 8kHz shift. I do not need to add the 8kHz shift on any of my SDR operations, however. Regarding the sample rate versus bandwidth, when using 48ks/s, you are actually getting TWO samples at that rate, one of I and one of Q. They each

Hi Don, I figured out my problem. First I re-did my measurements as you suggested. I checked them against the 2005 Manual and they are within limits. I noticed that when ever I removed my dummyload from the SO-239 connector the static would go intermittent and finally it was very low. I checked

Terry, Whether you use an EMU0202 or any of the other choice for a sound card, the issue gets down to where the 0 is. If you don't use the 8 KHz offset, the center of your sample and the point where you are tuned become the same. By using the offset you move the two apart by telling the
