Re: [Elecraft] KX3 RF out voltage measurements...

It is best to use CW or Tune or even AM to check power output. If you don't speak into the mic in SSB mode, the output should be zero, as the carrier is suppressed and with no audio, there is no side band. 73 Bill AE6JV On 6/7/16 at 9:49 PM, kg6...@sbcglobal.net (David Davis) wrote: I

[Elecraft] KX3 RF out voltage measurements...

I might have an RF out issue with my KX3 but I am not sure how to test it. I have an Elecraft DL1 and a DMM that I figure I can use to check the RF voltages and verify the power out. However, I am not sure of the exact process on how to do this. If I am keying the mic on SSB do I need to speak

Re: [Elecraft] Difference in DSP in K2 and K3S

Paul, Comparing the technical side of the K2 DSP NR with the K3 NR is like comparing apples and oranges. The KDSP2 is DSP added at audio, while the K3 NR is done at the 15kHz IF. The K3 offers many more settings that are available with the K2 DSP, so I encourage you to experiment some more.

Re: [Elecraft] Question re TXMON

The waveform display in the P3 TX monitor auto-ranges to keep the modulation peaks within the display limits. However, if the forward power gets high enough to over-range the ADC, then the waveform will be clipped. With the 200W HF sensor, I believe the clipping level is about 240-250 watts,

I have been using a K3S in a 2m SSB VHF contest this evening and find that the DSP NR is a bit a disappointment compared with my usual K2 rig. My QTH has a fair degree on man-made noise so on the K2, I normally run with the NR at level 4 (factory settings - I haven’t adjusted them). However,

Re: [Elecraft] Question re TXMON

There is no reason to disconnect the P3 from the sensor. The sensor can't damage the P3. I suppose there might be a danger of damaging the sensor if you are running high power into a very high SWR, but if it is in a range that the K3 ATU can tune, I can't imagine there would be a problem.
