Hi Don, I had read that note but it is in the current Rev D manual dated 9/30/12 which corresponded to SVGA firmware 1.10. There were two firmware revisions (1.14 and 1.16) in 2013 each of which added additional notes on 1920x1080 monitor compatibility. Plus the last thread on 1920x1080 monitors

What is the unmatched SWR? The KAT3 operates at far lower power than the KAT500, and it can safely handle an extremely wide SWR range. We have to be more conservative in what we match at 500 W+ to avoid arcing or component damage. If the KAT500 isn't finding a good match for a low/medium SWR

As your post indicates, the splattering of JT65 signals has most likely nothing to do with your transmitter and setup. It is more likely to be due to the specifics of the JT65 display/decoding algorithm than anything else. I have done spectral estimation for some 30+ years and it reminds me very

If your neighbor tells you it's clean (and s/he knows how to look) then it's likely the other station at fault. Noise blanking, noise reduction, poor RX audio (over)driving are huge issues that can make any reception look bad. Bottom line: don't sweat it if your local stations tell you

FWIW, overload from a strong local signal can cause much weaker signals to behave this way. Once amplifier stages in a receiver are driven into overload, they produce all sorts of mixing products with any signal coming through. The overloading signal may have been far off frequency, even on

This is good to know. I had this same experience on PSK31, and it was trouble at the receiving end because it was happening on other signals as well, while other stations gave me a clean bill of health. I didn't know if it was his soundcard, software, or interface. Dick, n0ce - Original

That clears up something that has bothered me on JT65. Many times someone will complain about someone overdriving, but the signal appeared to be OK to me. It happens frequently. Now I think the complainer is probably receiving the station much more strongly than I am and it is overdriving his

Well nothing would put the issue to bed better than a nice printout of a P3 screen that was sampling the RF signal over a bandwidth of about 6KHz. That's why I would LOVE for Elecraft to continue developing the P3 and expanding its capability. I don't mind the report, and I take it seriously,

Yep, that is 100% correct. If the station that is offended would simply reduce their RF gain control, in most cases they will see the signal clean right up. Then the real issue is that they want to copy a weak signal that is in a chunk of spectrum that is full of strong signals (most likely due

Hi Mike, The SVGA card uses an embedded VGA controller. This means that we're limited to two possible pixel clocks for the 1920x1080 resolution. Some monitors cannot sync to the pixel clocks and this causes the display to show the two black areas you noticed.Try setting manual mode on your

Tom, You can set the jumpers just like for the Elecraft microphones - all straight across. You will also need a bias resistor between pin 6 and pin 1 at the back of the mic jack - 5.6k will do fine. You will also need an adapter to go between the 3.5mm plug on the CM500 to the 8 pin Foster
