The K3 directly generates FSK tones in a phase-coherent manner at the 15 kHz IF. The output is then up-converted to 8.215 MHz, passes through the crystal roofing filter, then converted to the final RF output frequency. No audio involved. The "sidetone" audio for MON use is separately generated. 73, Lyle KK7P/7 (Tucson AZ) ______________________________________________________________ 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
