[Elecraft] KX3 with CW skimmer - ghost image problem

2014-07-28 Thread John Watkins
All, Noticed this when using skimmer and reporting spots to the RBN.  When I have a strong station reported I will also spot a copy of that station weaker and some 16 to 18 khz higher on the band. Is there a solution to eliminate the false weaker image? Thanks, John N0EVH

Chris, My guess is that you are hearing a low level digital noise (rather than birdies) coming from the MCU as it illuminates the LEDs. The fact that they disappear when you turn the LED brightness down leads me to that conclusion. 73, Don W3FPR On 7/28/2014 2:13 PM, Christian Gondard

what you hear is a fast time constant on the auto notch. The faster time constant makes the notch respond faster but it also allows it to attack purer tones in the audio. The effect is more noticeable on strong signals with flat AGC curves where all frequencies in the audio passband are of
