You need to visit the N1MM reflector. Is there a command to set Mic gain to zero? You probably have a corrupt file. Mike W0MU On 3/20/2015 8:11 PM, Ross Primrose wrote: N1MM or N1MM+? I'm not seeing that with my K3 with N1MM+. 73, Ross N4RP On 3/20/2015 8:58 PM, Jerry wrote: Evening all,

[Elecraft] K3 Autonotch distortion?

2015-03-20 Thread David McClain
Hi, The AutoNotch on the K3 is too effective! It’s learning rate is too rapid, and that causes it to lock on and off of rapidly varying voice peaks during SSB phone reception. The effect sounds much like someone overdriving their mic input at the transmitter. Last night I was listening in head

Jerry, Does the K3 respond normally when operated from the buttons and knobs? If so, the problem lies with the software that you are using - in this case, N1MM - unless there is a bug in the K3 command structure, and AFAIK there have been no recent changes. 73, Don W3FPR On 3/20/2015 9:00 PM

I believe it is constrained to the normal SSB bandwidth of around 3 KHz or less, unless using ESSB mode. However, I'm certainly not the expert here. For US hams, 47CFR97.307 begins: "(a) No amateur station transmission shall occupy more bandwidth than necessary for the information rate and e

This actually should work. The #INHIBIT signal will disable transmission rather quickly, at least as fast as the key line. The catch is that most tuners don’t detect high SWR and output their tune signal all that fast. In fact most use a relay, adding 7-10 mSec of time to the overall time. You wi

That is the right cable. You can use it between the K3 and KPA, the KPA and KAT or the KAT and K3. Remember, the correct cable configuration for using all three together is the AUX cable from the K3 to the KAT500, then another from the KAT500 to the KPA500. Enjoy your K-Line! - Jack Brindle, W6FB
