[Elecraft] K3: Windows 7 and USB/serial redux

2011-02-04 Thread John K3TN
I built a new Windows 7 64 bit Pro PC, got all my ham software up and running and for a brief period of time life was good. A bad RAM module brought that to a crashing (literally) end. Trying to recover from that I've been having a series of problems that keep pointing to what looks like the well

John (and everyone else) please **STOP** with the un-installing and re-installing. That ended as a solution to problems long before Windows 98 came out. Re-installing is generally a colossal waste of time and rarely solves anything. What to do instead? Look in control panel and see what

Win 7 may find the drivers on it's own. I'd try that first. Elecraft changed the KUSB they sell from a Prolific to a FTDI chipset circa July 2010. Both drivers are on the site, so if you download them, it's important to know which cable you have.

APF was discussed extensively in August 2009 (check the archives) including a simulation of the exact FT-1000D APF analog circuit which I found and sent to Al W6LX. Here's Al's simulation which was the model for the K3's DSP implementation of APF:

Slightly off the subject (Blue Tooth), but I wear Phonak Savia OTE hearing aids and they have a high-fidelity program selection. This is for flat freq. response up to 22-KHz for music and television listening. I definitely can tell the improvement even with 30dB hearing degradation and loss

Unfortunately, one can't bump up audio output in FSK-D. I use a modem which only can use 2 KHz tones. The drop in perceived audio level is quite high there for me. Even if low tones were used, there would still be a significant loss. What say Elecraft? Why not let us bump up one segment?
