Many of the better "SDR Console" software packages include a configuration option to "swap I/Q above 'N' MHz" ... works for KX3 on 144 MHz and K3 on 50 MHz. 73, ... Joe, W4TV On 2014-11-03 9:41 AM, Matt VK2RQ wrote:
That's interesting, the RX I/Q signal lines appear to be "reversed" when operating the KX3 on 2m. I guess this makes sense, if you consider the 2m module is using the "x4" output of the KX3's local oscillator, so that if you tune to 144MHz for example, the LO would be running at 48MHz, so that in the 2m module the 144Mhz signal would be mixed with a 4x48=192MHz signal. This would place the "USB" image at 192+144=336MHz, which is discarded, and then place the "LSB" image (192-144) at 48MHz, which is then downshifted to 0MHz by the 48MHz LO in the main receiver. Because the LSB image is the one that is used, the frequencies appear "reversed" when you look at then on the I/Q output. By swapping the I & Q signals, you can effectively "reverse" the frequencies a second time, and get a normal display on the waterfall.
