Hi Folks,
I'm currently selling an off-shore rig with the hopes of acquiring a second K3
for SO2R, primarily for RTTY contesting. I believe I've seen somewhere in the
not to distant past that is was said the K3 receive front end can withstand 1-2
watts without damage. I've spent the last hour reviewing the email archive and
can find no reference to that. Can anyone confirm or deny my remembrance?
(Or, is it all just wishful thinking?) Is there anyone on the reflector that
is operating a K3 SO2R station without the thousand or so dollars of band pass
filters needed to protect the radio's front end?
Second part of the question is.....if possible to not damage the front end,
what is the possibility of desensing or causing blocking or noise that would
interfere with reception on one receiver when transmitting on the other radio.
I'm sure that is highly dependent on band(s) and separation of frequencies
within the band. I'll fully aware of the K3's ability to completely block
signals a few kilohertz away but when RTTY contesting I do seem to notice there
may be some desensing or AGC action from these signals even though they are not
heard or processed by MMTTY.
Comments very much appreciated.
