In SSB modes, the K3 performs clipping at the 15 kHz IF, then bandpass filters the result. It is further filtered by the 8.215 MHz IF quartz filter. Thus, the SSB speech processor used in the K3 is IF envelope clipping. It is preceded by a 8-band equalizer, so the radio can be adjusted for from natural sounding, though "punchy" to just plain awful if you wish it to be :-) 73, Lyle KK7P ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
