Re: [Elecraft] K3s AFSK frequencies

If you are using AFSK, it's best to stick with the standard 2125 frequency, so the second harmonic is outside the 2.7 Khz audio passband. With FSK, you can go lower. My ears like the sound of 915 Hz. -Original Message- From: Mike Dodd Sent: Tuesday, April 12, 2016 8:03 PM To:

Rose Kopp makes an excellent storage and travel bag for the KX3 in a couple of different versions. Link is on the Elecraft website. I have one made to hold the KX3, PX3, and KXPA100. I don't have the amp, so I use that compartment for my A123 battery, charger, a small power supply, and misc

Re: [Elecraft] K3s AFSK frequencies

Current thinking is to use a fairly wide filter for RTTY. The software filters that are applied in the sound card are much narrower, about 50 Hz wide. Lately I've been using the 2.7 KHz roofing filter, with DSP bandwidth set to about 600 Hz. Dave Hachadorian, K6LL Yuma, AZ

[Elecraft] K3s AFSK frequencies

Hello to the group. I just put my new K3s/100 into service, and have a question about the Mark frequency to use with AFSK. Before the K3s, I used a SignaLink with my KX3 and MMTTY. With that setup, I set MMTTY to use 915 Hz for the Mark frequency, and everything worked fine. Fiddling with the

Hi Don, I was actually thinking just that - just use my soldering iron and finish the job I originally started on it lol! I'm lucky that it's one of the relays in the lowpass filter and not the 40 meter filter, so there are no components around it of any real note yet That may be exactly what

I’ll second all of that. In the middle stages of the K1 build last week C22, the smallest capacitor in the inventory, escaped from the parts bin - presumably to avoid being soldered - disappearing into a carpet the nap of which is several multiples of the cap’s full girth. (Your D36 may have

Ah yes, thanks for that reminder. If it comes to that, is there a good way to smush a latching relay body without dangerously ripping the pins out of the board? I worry that crushing it with say a pair of pliers could stress the through-holes in the board. Or is it just not that strong? Thanks,
