[Elecraft] K3: Question about data modes...

2014-07-16 Thread David Cole
Hi all, What EXACTLY is the difference between AFSK A, and DATA A. Here is why I ask: In AFSK A Mode: While using MixW, and looking at the MixW screen, and in USB on the K3, as I tune using the knob, the MixW screen shows the signal stuck to a frequency on the top calibration marks on MixW.

In simple terms: AFSK A is LSB, AFSK TX filter (MENU: AFSK TX) is available and controlled by PITCH (Mark), audio input uses data selection. TX and RX EQ are disabled. Receive dual tone (dual peak) filter is available. Frequency (VFO) display reflects *MARK* DATA A is USB, AFSK TX filter is

David, AFSK A is optimized for use with RTTY. It defaults to LSB and the frequency displayed is the frequency of the Mark tone. The latter feature does not make too much sense to me when using a waterfall display, but it makes a lot of sense when using narrow filters and tuning to a RTTY

Joe, Is there something else that might explain the actions of the signal in the waterfall of MixW? I have tried DATA A in REV sideband, (I thought that would fix the issue), and the signal does not stay pinned to the same frequency under the MixW calibration marks... As I tune up, MixW moves

Hi Joe, I was thinking that as well, but MixW is using USB. As a test I reversed the sideband by pressing the mode until I saw REV pop up. I would have expected that to correct the issue if the software were on the wrong sideband, but it just makes it fail the opposite direction... My belief

It's been quite a few years since I used MixW, but here goes: 1. Last time I tried it, MixW did not understand the K3's digital sub-modes. Basically it acted as if they were all the same (either FSK D or AFSK A), i.e. on LSB. Even when I put the rig in DATA A, MixW still acted as though the
