Re: [Elecraft] Using USB mode for PSK31 rather than DATA A

If you used the equalizer you will also need to flatten the response as well. I have not used it in SSB mode. I prefer using narrower filter. 73, Bill K9YEQ K2 #35; KX1 #35; K3 #1744; mini mods -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.q

Dave, Great idea with the screen shots. I have had the same success with the Signal removal tool. I have had only one that left a slight artifact on 26.267 mHz that really isn't an issue for my operation as it doesn't interfere with my mode of operation and the width is only 50 Hz once I got fi

Re: [Elecraft] K3 - Amp disable on TUNE request

This is exactly what I do and started doing after bringing this up in a thread over a month ago. I use the tune button and not the ATU tune and have the tuning power set at 3 w. This is sufficient to low power tune the remote tuner while using the outboard tuner. If I wasn't clear I apologize. Us

Re: [Elecraft] K3 - Amp disable on TUNE request

Would not using the menu to set tune power do this? That is what I use. I set mine for 3 watts and tune the tuner. This is a level I can adjust depending on my station needs. 3 watts gives me enough to drive my QRO 600 W amp to tune the remote tuner. 73, Bill K9YEQ -Original Message-

[Elecraft] K3 Coarse VFO tuning of offset for SSB vs CW

I have been using my coarse knob on SSB to make simple fast rate tuning of SSB signals. It is just super! On CW, however the rate doesn't automatically change that I am aware of or have I missed somewhere. Because I jump between the two I am wondering if I missed a per mode change rate? I increas

Could the state of the Menu's be left at last position when turning the rig on and off? Right now it appears they revert back to the beginning. I would like to resume where I left off when I turn the rig on. 73, Bill K9YEQ ___ Elecraft mailing list

I thought as HAMs we would know how to operate a rig within specs and not rely on manufacturing. I have been an amateur for 49 years and I learned early on that is was my responsibility to know how to operate and control my own signals regardless of rigs. That is why we learn theory. We have a m

Doug, Thank you. Please email me as I put in the ones that are too weak. The idea of the different colors is a nice touch, though, and while mine are dim, I can tell fairly well instantly if the remote tuner has finished its job. 73, Bill K9YEQ K2 #35; KX1 #35; K3 #1744; mini mods -Orig
