Tom,

There is another thing to consider, and that is whether the operator is using Shift and Width to control the bandwidth or whether he is using HiCut and LoCut. If using Shift and Width, the center frequency would remain the same as the Width is changed.
In HiCut/LoCut the center frequency will change with those settings.
The use of HiCut/LoCut for SSB is easier than trying to use Shift/Width because not too much can be cut from the low end if signal intelligibility is to be maintained, yet the high frequency end can be cut substantially and still maintain intelligibility (even though much of the individual voice characteristics will disappear. There does need to be some content in the 400 to 500 Hz part of the audio spectrum for the voice to be intelligible.

Hi
If this is the case is there any way to determine exactly where or when this 
happens? Does it happen as I described?  Can one use the BW command to  
actually compensate?  Does it occur in USB only?
Thanks for any insight.

Tom,

I don't know the answer, but what I can inject is the fact that the KX3
shifts to Weaver demodulation at some point, it may be at 1.7 kHz.
That would affect the signal peaks without substantially changing the
sound of the signal on the KX3.

Hello,I received reports recently about the signal peaks that are seen in 
software based panadapters appear to shift by approximately 1.25kHz when the 
bandwidth control is changed from 1.8 to 1.7. in USB mode on the K3


At 1.8 the IS command returns 1500 in USB and the BW command returns BW0180
AT 1.7 the IS command returns 1500 in USB and the BW command returns BW0170 
which is normal behavior.


I have investigated this and it indeed happens when the bandwidth is changed 
from 1.8 to 1.7
The sound of the signal nor the tuning of the radio is changed. However, a QSY 
to the original peak will detune the signal.
This has been confirmed in Win4K3Suite, NAP3 and HDSDR.


Can someone check this please on the PX3?
This is on the latest firmware of 2.19


Thanks, Tom va2fsq
