Re: [Elecraft] Switching from SSB to CW on K3s

Don, The K3/K3S will automatically handle the offset if you configure it to do so. From the K3 Owner's Manual, page 29: SSB/CW VFO Offset The K3 can automatically offset the VFO frequency when you switch from SSB to CW mode, so other stations will hear the correct CW pitch. See CONFIG:CW

Re: [Elecraft] Switching from SSB to CW on K3s

There are two parts to this: the correct sideband, and the correct frequency. On the K3/K3S, CW is on lower sideband, and CW-REV is on upper sideband. On bands where you use LSB for SSB, switching to CW will still be on the correct sideband, but on bands where you use USB for SSB, you will

Re: [Elecraft] Switching from SSB to CW on K3s

Bob, Assuming you have the CW signal (in SSB mode) tuned to your sidetone pitch --- You will have to re-tune by the amount of your sidetone pitch when switching to CW. The K3 (and all other Elecraft transceivers) insert a VFO offset between SSB and CW equal to the sidetone pitch set into

Re: [Elecraft] Switching from SSB to CW on K3s

Your SSB bandwidth (passband) is prob 2.7 kHz and your CW passband might be 400. You not only have to consider the side and but your side tone offset and bandwidth. There is a setting in the CONFIG menu to make this work however. Sent from my iPhone ...nr4c. bill > On Mar 14, 2016, at 8:28

[Elecraft] Switching from SSB to CW on K3s

When I'm in SSB mode and I tune down to the CW frequencies, I can easily tune in a CW signal. Then, I switch to CW mode, and the CW signal is gone because I'm on the wrong sideband. Even if I'm on the right sideband, the CW signal disappears. Shouldn't I be able to switch from SSB to CW and not

[Elecraft] KX3 CW Muting on Strong Signal

During the Wisconsin QSO Party this weekend I experienced on a few occasions were a strong signal was near zero beat (maybe +/-50Hz or better), but all I could hear was "thumping" of the signal.  So these people were calling me, but I could not hear the 600Hz sidetone.  In order for me to hear

Re: [Elecraft] 10 MHz external reference - GPSDO

The XY RTTY tuning ovals are based on the mark and space signals which are 170 Hz apart. I can easily tune RTTY signals with the 10 Hz tuning step in the K3, so 10 Hz stability on both the transmitter and the receiver should be good enough for reliable operation. With the low stability TCXO

Hi Ed, Minor note on our TCXO part numbers: The tighter temp stability TCXO (0.5 ppm typical) is actually Elecraft part number "TCXO3-1". This is the p/n that shows on the K3S order page and in the K3S kit manual as an upgrade. The standard TCXO (5 ppm) supplied with the K3S and K3 has the

Re: [Elecraft] 10 MHz external reference - GPSDO

Something I have wondered since running MMTTY and looking at the XY scope is, why do I see the XY ovals shifting clockwise as the station is transmitting. I find decoding is best when the ovals are as close to straight vertical & horizontal. If I let them rotate, I lose the cypher so I have to
