Re: [Elecraft] Firmware final?

FYI - Version 4.51 - The CW Decode/CWT function on my sn# 705 is mostly non-functional no matter what I set the threshold to. I mostly use the CWT for zero beat or to see how far off others are calling (DX) - that still works on the stronger sigs but not on weak ones. -- View this message in

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Center Freq save per band

Alan, Thanks for the reply! The static setting will not do what I was interested in. It sets the display for a fixed span and will not display the sigs beyond that setting, even if you tune outside the span. I set my K3 memories for 7.030, 14.030, 21,030, etc. When I select the band, the K3

[Elecraft] P3 Center Freq save per band

. Switch band to 3965 Khz and back and it will go to 14.35 Mhz - sometimes but not always. Does the P3 remember settings along with K3??

[Elecraft] Tunable carrier (birdie) 20445khz

carriers either side at 12Khz offsets. Tuning around, I found what appears to be the fundamental at 20445.11 kHz. The freq's are with rig on CW normal - the freq's listed change with mode. Turning P3 off makes no difference. I would like to get rid of these or minimize the levels - any ideas? Gill

Re: [Elecraft] Tunable carrier (birdie) 20445khz

Thanks for the suggestions guys - for those of you with P3's - tune to 20445.11 on CW nor mode and take a look with the span on the P3 set at 200khz. A regular picket fence of birdies! (at least on my K3) 73 Gill -- View this message in context:

Bob, Thanks for the confirmation. I have spectrum lab - will take a look after FD. I also think the level drops several db (to the ear) as the filter switches from 150hz to 100hz, most noticable on weaker sigs. 73's Gill You may be on to something. Using the 100 Hz FIR filter and injecting
