Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Transmit EQ Settings

[Edward R Cole]

Jim,

In the 1960's I had an EV664 which I used on 2m AM 150w plate 
modulation.  Made very nice AM with my Johnson 6N2.  Mic sat in 
storage shed too long and suffered moisture corrosion.


I even applied to work for EV after college.  Ended up LA working for 
Hughes Aircraft, instead.

BTW -- Bob Heil did NOT invent that concept. Shure was doing it in the
earliest days of SSB (the '50s), and the D104 is a pretty old mic too.
And the other great US mic company in those days was Electro-Voice,
which was led by Al Kahn, K4FW, who later started Ten Tec when his
partner, Lou Burroughs, wanted to sell the company and retire. Al was a
CW man -- I don't know if they ever did any ham mics. :)  But they OWNED
the market for broadcast mics, and to some extent still do -- their RE20
is THE prestigious talk show and DJ mic, and their 635 and DO54 were
wildly popular for reporters in the field.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 FC issue with filters

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

I think I have solved this.  I sent all the firmware to the radio again 
and the radio is behaving like my other K3.

This rig was just at Elecraft for updates.  I have looked for settings 
for this but have not found one.


Am I missing something here?  Is this maybe a firmware glitch?

That is NOT a good idea, because speech does not have equal components 
over the transmitted bandwidth.



There's little point in having anything below 300 Hz unless
you wish to be mistaken for Barry White.


Right.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 output power falls

Hi Dave,

Check CONFIG:KPA3.  It should be PA nor.

Maximum power output on my K3 dropped to 12 watts, for no discernible reason.   
Any handy hints about what might cause this?  I haven't yet taken it apart to 
check voltages, etc.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Transmit EQ Settings

[Paul Van Dyke]

Since I am in the field I can't check, but at some past point, I put a file
in the folder with suggested EQ settings they've been used by many
including WG0AT and found them very useful.

I have both N1MM old and new versions installed and running on my computer,
so I was curious after reading what you said. Can you explain further?

Good intelligibility seems to coincide with having roughly equal power
per unit bandwidth. So look at the waterfall on a convenient WebSDR and
see where the peaks and troughs in your signal are, then tweak
accordingly. There's little point in having anything below 300 Hz unless
you wish to be mistaken for Barry White.
