Hello again again, On the issue of using the SSB mode for AM reception, having a look at this spectrum snip from LP-PAN:
http://ab2tc.getmyip.com:82/pictures/amreception.jpg Look at that monstrously wide local station at 1490kHz. Using USB mode the distant station at 1500kHz is perfectly copyable, in fact the disco music from 1490 is barely noticeable. No other mode will bring the 1500kHz station through. The K3 has such great suppression of the opposite sideband that there is absolutely no flutter (which is usually a problem with analog radios) when zero beating an AM station. You bet, SSB mode reception of AM stations is a very good option in difficult situations with this radio. ab2tc wrote: > > Do I get a prize for the first 2009 message (according to the time > stamping in the MARC database)? > :-). > ----- AB2TC - Knut -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/RE%3AK3-as-a-SW-receiver-tp2095329p2097833.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
