[Elecraft] K3 QRP CW vs SSB default power levels

2011-08-30 Thread Dennis KB7ST
switch between CW and SSB. There must be a way to do this without a macro or perhaps not? Dennis KB7ST - SN #4335 with 13, 2.8 and 400 8-pole filters and 10 watts. TCXO KBPF3 general coverage option. Plus the wonderful T1 tuner and two BL2 baluns. Back on HF after 25-year absence. -- View

[Elecraft] K3 scan questions -- USB and SWL AM -- unsupported?

2010-10-06 Thread Dennis KB7ST
I'd like to scan SSB segments of a particular ham band with TAP SCAN so that the rcvr stays muted until it hears a signal, particularly when working on shack projects and I'm not to close to the rig. The K3 will stop on an SSB signal but the transmssion isn't intelligible 'cause the freq it

Jeff, I was in the same situation with native RTTY and PSK decoding with the K3. We camp a lot in our small RV trailer and I wanted to master the native capability B4 hooking up a computer. I just couldn't get the hang of tuning PSK and RTTY, but got it down pat now. Most of the ham band RTTY

[Elecraft] K3 RX ANT clarification needed while on XMIT

S/N 4335 (so I'm new) with KVX3 installed. I like to switch between two antennas when checking the HF beacons or even before calling someone to help determine if one antenna better than another. I'm mostly doing this with my end fed antenna into the T1 auto tuner and a 25-foot vertical mast fed

Re: [Elecraft] BL2 choking Impedence measurements?

2010-08-25 Thread Dennis KB7ST
Hello Jim, I have the AIM 4170 antenna analyzer ( w5big.com ). I could sweep the balun in 1:1 and 4:1 mode is you'd like. I'm not sure it will give you the choking impedance but will do some checking with the designer of the AIM. Let me know if that is of interest. You can see what some AIM

Hi Ron, I'm pretty much done with my testing on decoding PSK31. Using the method I tried, now I don't have to use the CW mode to help spot the right frequency to tune to in data mode. I trained my ear to recognize the 1010 Hz spotting tone that Lyle, KK7P, pointed out. And it's been much more

Lyle and Ron, Lyle, thanks on the PITCH freq for PSK mode. That would explain why that macro has the IF shifted to 1100. I've spent last two days using W1AW twice per day data transmissions as a reference and have now developed an approach to more quickly gain success as PSK decodes and reduce
