Hello Lyle,
 
I really like your last sentence.  I can still hear somewhere around 12Khz or 
higher.  This hearing ability is good for Hifi audio but bad for listening to 
radio.  My ears are very sensitive to DSP artifacts.  This is the reason why I 
found the DSP board upgrade for earlier version K3 was necessary.

TNX & 73,


Johnny VR2XMC

主題︰ Re: [Elecraft] KX3 12kHz audio spike


This is most likely power supply ripple from the variable loading of the DSP, 
which occurs at a 12 kHz rate.

You may be able to reduce it by setting MENU:RX ISO to ON.  This increases 
average current in part by preventing the DSP from "sleeping" between tasks, 
thus smoothing out some of the power supply load.

It is always best to use headphones or external speakers that have limited 
response above 5 kHz with the KX3.  The radio will not pass audio information 
above this frequency, so the only thing wide response headphones or speakers 
will provide is additional noise.  This is particularly true if your ears 
haven't "aged" to provide some low-pass function for you :-)

73,

Lyle KK7P
