[Elecraft] RX Mush, why the fuss?

I tend to use the CWT display a lot, and then the S-meter doesn't show 20 dB over S9. Actively using RF gain, ATT, PRE, as one should, makes the S-meter even less interesting. Eyes tend to spend a lot of time on the P3 display when available. Spectrum peaks don't show how close we are to the

Re: [Elecraft] RX Mush, why the fuss?

One problem here is that a lot of the discussion has been in analog terms. We have to remember that in the K3, the digital AGC controlled by the AGC parms is just that, a digital algorithm. What it does has nothing to do with diodes. It can do anything weird and completely non analog resembling,

HiThat works but you first have to reset it so you know where you are starting from.The issue with many ups and downs, is that some of them get ignoredyou need delays. This may not be an issue in the k3s and kx3 but is with the k3. A delay in the app would be great.73 Tom  Sent from my

Re: [Elecraft] RX Mush, why the fuss?

Oh no! I fear this is going to get bogged down in definitions. From Wikipedia: "Limiting can refer to non-linear clipping, in which a signal is passed through normally but 'sheared off' when it would normally exceed a certain threshold. It can also refer to a type of variable-gain audio level

[Elecraft] re Elecraft KX3 and the CW160

A friend sent me the post about this and so I thought I would join the group and post my experience. I have had a KX3 for two or three years. I replaced one of the high end rigs with it and am very pleased with the results. I have a full quarter wave elevated ground plane antenna for 160.

You could use the RX EQ menu and then do switch taps up and down to set the RE. Doable but ugly. 73, Fred KE7X For all KE7X Elecraft books, see www.ke7x.com From: Elecraft on behalf of tomb18 Sent:

Re: [Elecraft] list submission, using ham radio deluxe and logic with k3 and a laptop with only com3

Hi Tony, first off I can help you with LP-Bridge sending data to your ACOM 2000a. In LP-Bridge, the read only outputs are hard coded to the kenwood protocol at 4800 baud. So you can use LP-Bridge to get your ACOM 2000a to track your K3 if you set the ACOM 2000A to Kenwood on the radio interface.

Re: [Elecraft] RX Mush, why the fuss?

The AGC will not cause "hard limiting" - in other words, it should maintain linearity. Even though the strongest signal in the passband will control how much AGC is applied, weaker signals in the passband should sound proportionally weaker. Now that you mention hard limiting, there is a

[Elecraft] P3 menu to set ref level?

Is there any thought to having a menu option to set the reference level? For example, there is one to set the Span, which I have used to assign three of the menu buttons to give me a span of 20, 50 and 200 kHz. Seems a similar menu item could allow for a quick selection of reference levels for

Re: [Elecraft] TE and RE macro ?

Hi, Sorry, but to my knowledge is *still* no RE macro. I and several others have pleaded in the past for one, to no avail. Maybe your request will tip the scales and raise the issue higher on the TODO list Some PC programs manage to change the RX equalizer anyway. They probably do it with

Group I am currently using the TE macro for transmit EQ setting from ragchew to DXing ... I was wondering if there is the same for the RX EQ also say "RE" ??? I use the TE macro on the kpod and it works great , but would like to change the RX EQ maybe even at the same time ? Jay KB8O

Re: [Elecraft] RX Mush, why the fuss?

Hi, Where in Smith's article does it say that AGC with the slope set for 15 acts as a hard limiter? There is a huge difference between AGC action (which is simply a reduction in gain with linearity retained) and hard limiting. I have read the article and agree that his measurements are very

Re: [Elecraft] list submission, using ham radio deluxe and logic with k3 and a laptop with only com3

I have been using LP-Bridge since its inception without major issues. I had tried Win4K3Suite one day. I did not spend much time with it, but two things didn't seem right. Maybe I just didn't know what I was doing though. It seemed each time I started the program I lost the equalizer settings and

Ron and all: You can use your tower as one leg of a folded monopole. Run a wire vertical up one side of your tower separate say 6-12 inches from the wire shorted over to the tower top. Tower stays grounded and your wire it fed at the bottom near ground but insulated. Coax shield is tied

Re: [Elecraft] 80 Meter Verticals

I did that on my 630m inverted-L. Obviously 43-feet vertical is very short on 495-KHz (less than 10% of a quarter wave), so the antenna is heavily base loaded by a coil plus the 122-foot top section adds a little capacity. I ran three wires in parallel spaced a foot apart in the vertical

Re: [Elecraft] RX Mush, why the fuss?

It isn't so much that 'the strongest signal in the passband determines the gain of the receiver', it's that once that strong signal sends the receiver into AGC, additional signals in the passband do not increase the audio output power when the Slope is set at or near its extreme. This is a form
