Hi guys, for the same reason I think that rolling off at least the first TXEQ band could be a good idea also for AFSK communication, but the TXEQ is flat in data mode, and not modifiable. Could this be an useful addition to a new firmware release? Ciao 73 Fabio IZ4AFW - NZ1W - HI9/IZ4AFW

It would be even easier if one could use a 10MHz IF for LF. For this the K3 and KX3 (when the code is written) xverter settings could be set to XVRF=0MHz XVIF=10MHz. This way the accurate 10MHz reference, already applied to the reference input to the K3 could be used as the local oscillator in the

There is another caveat to keep in mind when using the K3 in transverter mode. Sensitivity will be subject to the ham band BPFs, so a preamp may be needed if the IF freq. falls well outside the BPF passband unless a general coverage module (KBPF3) is installed. The KBPF3 works fine if the

Stan, I am willing to wager that you have set your sidetone pitch to 700 Hz. That is the KX3 Local Oscillator. If you are operating the KX3 near other receivers, turn the RX ISO menu item on to substantially reduce this leak-through signal. That is common with all direct to baseband

Stan, Just set MENU: RX ISO to ON. This turns on the isolation amp, which should knock down VFO leakage out of the mixer by 70-90 dB. We don't turn the isolation amp on by default because it adds about 15 mA to receive current drain. (This same stage is also used for the 10- and 30-dB
