[Elecraft] Is it possible?? Use SP3 spkr for main RX + internal spkr for sub RX??

[andrew vavra]

Does anyone know if the K3S internal speaker can be assigned Sub receiver for 
dual receive while the Main receiver is piped to an external speaker like the 
SP3?
I currently have a pair of non-Elecraft external speakers plugged into the rear 
speaker jack and the rig set for speakers = 2.
I love the look of the SP3, but find the price tag to purchase two of them a 
bit too high for my limited budget.

All:




Back when the K3S first came out I did the math on the cost of upgrading a K3 
Classic to add the K3IO, the new tuner, two KSyn3A's and all of the other 
upgrades versus purchasng a new K3S, and came to the conclusion that I could 
sell my old K3 Classic on eHam or eBay or privately (~4000 S/N range) and move 
up to a brand new K3S for just a few hundred dollars additional.

By doing this I was able to reset the clock and start all over again with a 
brand new rig with all the upgrades and a full year's warranty to boot.  You 
can save even more by moving your sub RX from the old rig to the new rig -- the 
Sub RX is one item which did not change.
Put your old price list and the new price list side by side and you will see 
that most items have not increased all that substantially compared t the 
benefits you receive when upgrading.

Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft Sat, 19 Dec 2015 13:00:04 -0800
Also note that the KIO3B has all of the original KIO3 analog and digital 
functionality and HW. Adding the usb sound and USB data hw to that did not 
increase the end price by over $200.Lastly at ham radio market volumes, which 
are much lower than most consumer 
products, the cost to develop and support any design is folded in the price we 
must charge over time. We can't survive any other way.

[Elecraft] K3 Filters and dual bandpass tuning

[andrew vavra]

Question for the experienced K3 owners...

I'm planning a purchase in the very near future and want a clarification on the 
roofing filters and use of passband tuning with the K3.

I think I understand from reading the forum that the K3 automatically selects 
the filter to match the width of the passband.  In other words if I narrow the 
passband using the dual PBT to 500 Hz, the K3 will select the 500 Hz roofing 
filter.

Am I interpreting this correctly?

If this is true, what if I only have 1 roofing filter in the rig... say the 2.7 
kHz?  Can the passband be narrowed even further using PBT like I can do with my 
756 Pro?

Thanks in advance.

Andy, KD3RF
