Vic, Thanks. There is no "tone" that I would associate with what I am hearing. It is more a burst of noise, but transient in nature. Jim W6AIM . -Original Message- From: Elecraft [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Vic Rosenthal 4X6GP/K2VCO Sent: Sunday, October

Re: [Elecraft] KX3: Weird behavior with WSPR

Ken, I am not going to guess at exactly where your problem may be - other than to say it is somewhere in the audio being fed to your KX3. You may be getting power out, but if you do not drive the audio to the 4 bars solid with the 5th bar flickering, your power output will not be steady.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3: Weird behavior with WSPR

Thanks Guys! That did it! WSJT-X has a transmit level control and WSPR doesn't. Turn out the output level coming from WSPR is much higher than from WSJT-X. I had to reduce the Mic Level down to 1 to get it to work. It's bedtime now. Tomorrow, I'll reduce the level in Playback Devices so

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Popping noise in headphones??

The selection of IIR versus FIR filtering for the narrowest bandwidths (50 Hz and 100 Hz) may also have some effect on this. In general, the K3 and K3S switch to a different filtering algorithm for these two bandwidths. The loading of coefficients and filter settling time -- and to some

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Popping noise in headphones??

I don't use any RXEQ and my pitch is usually between 400 and 450 Hz. Yes, 100->150 is "worse", although not particularly objectionable; a curiosity actually. But there are other pops too, 750->800 is about the same and there is also a dependence upon the shift. On 10/18/2015 11:16 AM, Joe

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Config: Sub-Receiver Signal Path without BNC Antenna

Hi Byron, If you have the BNC connector then it seems logical that you choose BNC when setting up the KRX3. From there the solution is quite simple. Just be sure when activating the Sub RX that the word MAIN comes up in the lower display. This tells you that the Sub RX is using the same antenna

Took a closer listen for this. I need to set the audio level above 12 o'clock to hear the pop at narrow bandwidths. But I never operate with the audio control that high. So, it has not been an issue for me. Typically I have the RF Gain about 3:30 and the AF Gain at about 9:30. 73, N2TK, Tony
