Hi,
Who is familiary with PSK D (Elecraft K3) mode?
DX4WIN generates audio stream (PSK31 from soundcart only).
How get the PSK D data stream?
Thanks for idea.

The main approach for solving the multipath problem would be a long symbol
duration and some interleaving for error correction. The symbols should be
longer than a typical delay between two paths.
Since the phase measurements on a typical hf channel cannot be very sensitive
because of noise,
Hey Don,
That was the solution. I'm still trying to get through the K3 manual
and never saw that setting. I set the tune level to 4 watts, exited
the menu and with the K3 set to first 50w, I hit the K3 tune button
and the power dropped to 4w and the LDG 600 Pro II tuned just fine!!
Tnx,

QRP works! Bottom line is that if you want a lot of DX contacts, you
need at least a dipole. With a K2 built in '99, a dipole and a
tribander (bad qrp word) K2YG has worked 261 countries at 5 watts on
rtty and 108 with 1 watt. Many of these are on 40, 17 and 12 meters
with only the dipole,

Having a good receiver with a good antenna is key, a good antenna will go
places but you have to hear them first. This is where Elecraft gear shines -

The center of the passband to the nominal pitch value only occurs at

In my MarkV Field, I can switch the (2.4k?) SSB filter into the path while

Think about it this way -- take a filter width of 1500 Hz and a sidetone
pitch of 600 Hz.
If you center the passband at 600 Hz, the upper passband limit will be
at 1350 Hz, but the lower edge will be 150 Hz into the opposite sideband

Let's suppose we have the different IF's. One analog, the 8Mhz stuff,

I am not a DSP expert. But I would expect that the DSP filter would
filter out whatever bandwidth I would want it

One of the neat aspects of the hobby we share is the space it affords everyone
to do whatever it is that interests them. QRP is no exception. For me,

I agree with Martin, the SSB module added to the existing KX1. The KX1 being a
builders kit radio now, the space inside may be at a premium, so the SSB module
could be a pre made one as surface mount components, so it could fit inside,
without making a new case etc?
Is this feasible?

Well, as much as some would like Elecraft to make a KX2 it looks
like it's not going to happen. Wayne has said as much.
Even if as many as 100 people wanted such a rig, it's likely that it
would not be fiscally feasible for Elecraft to market one.
But, if some adventurous person

The most feasible way would be a retrofit surface mount prebuilt SSB module and
its interface requirements for the existing KX1.
People still build the radio but simply add the SSB module IF they want it.
