Just as a FYI, from Joe Large (JT65-HF author), concerning JT65-HF, which is probably the predominant version used on the K3 and KX3....
"If AFC is turned on you can probably suffer as much as 50 to 100 Hz (or more) drift in a frame. Just a guess from experience. There's not need for very high frequency stability though. Certainly anything less than 20 hz should be no issue. 73 - Joe - W6CQZ " So JT65 is a lot more tolerant than WSPR and on 20 meters at least the reported 14 HZ drift is "no issue" according to the author himself. PS, Tony, I've sent you via private mail the results of some tests I just ran with my KX3. 73, Bob, WB4SON On Mon, Jul 16, 2012 at 9:29 PM, Tony Estep <[email protected]> wrote: > On Mon, Jul 16, 2012 at 8:17 PM, Lance Collister, W7GJ <[email protected]> wrote: > > > ...makes me wonder about the frequency stability on 6m with full throttle > > out on JT65A... > > ============ > Lance, based on my experiments with JT65HF, you will not get good results > until the proposed firmware mod that allows you to tweak the temperature > compensation.
