Re: [Elecraft] K2 K3 RIT/XIT VFO adjust during transmit?

Pository, You can change VFO freq / RIT offset / XIT offset. You can not enable/disable RIT/XIT during transmission, so you need to engage them before ptt/key down. 73' Paul PD0PSB Evidently you can change the RIT/XIT during transmit, but without the display according to AB7E. I haven't had

[Elecraft] [K3] K3 RF speech processor aliasing ?

is. Listening to the aliasing products samplerate seems pretty low. Also wonder what this does to the TX audio spectrum, though I assume the aliasing products do not exceed the TX passband in final transmitted signal. 73' Paul PD0PSB -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/K3-RF-speech

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] K3 RF speech processor aliasing ?

Correction on the above (should dust off the old books some day...) I wonder if there is any 1/2 nyquist filtering (should be 1/2 Fs filtering) in the RF processor algorithm, and what the actual sampling rate (should be samplingfrequency) of the RF processed TX signal is. 73' Paul PD0PSB

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] K3 RF speech processor aliasing ?

clean. Also checked some analog counterparts of RF processing, which do not have this mirroring effect. I understand you have to find the best compromise between processing bandwidth and latency in K3 as a whole, but maybe the RF processor is a small bit too economic? 73' Paul PD0PSB I ran

Re: [Elecraft] K3 VFO Tuning Rates (alternative: via FREQ ENT)

in K3 to do course steps with with RIT encoder and fine with VFO is really nice! Use that all the time. It would be nice though to have the option to revert to full .000kHz somehow. 73' Paul PD0PSB That would also drive me wild, but then I would not have to use it unless I selected

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Memory

that isn't asked :-) 73' Paul PD0PSB Is their any likelihood that all favourite frequencies will be accessible by, for example, rotating B vfo and sequencing thru them as stored memory channels. If this is available already I must have missed it. After the last question I asked on the reflector

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] RIT encoder has become flaky

Just curious Bill: Do you also use RIT as coarse tuning ? May be a cause for faster wear-out of the encoder... 73' Paul PD0PSB As an example -- while slowly turning the RIT knob, the frequency display will go through: The erroneous readouts are starred. This is repeatable, though
