Re: [Elecraft] K3 NR

2008-11-20 Thread Grant Youngman
It's remarkable how on any list for any radio, NR is the bugaboo. Everyone expects magic. There ain't no stinkin' magic. To Bill's point, it is far less effective -- to the fact of almost being unnoticable at relatively narrow CW bandwidths. Having used virtually every 3rd party box

Five DB steps that can be on or off with a flicker fall way short for me as well, a convincing analog meter is 50% of the listening experience at this QTH. I'm trying to figure out how to hear an S_Meter, but I suppose we all listen in different ways. I'm really surprised, after

I know I'm preaching to the choir here. But the ease of assembly and setup, and (at least my initial take on) performance is just outstanding. I thought at first that I would have a terrible time with the one-item- at-a-time menu system, or even even a bit of a problem with the size and

[Elecraft] Q re Missing K3 Kit part

2008-11-08 Thread Grant Youngman
I'm missing one lousy part -- a 5/8 nylon standoff that gets mounted on the DSP board (assembly errata E-7, item 3) to provide some spacing from the front panel board. While I wait for Elecraft to see my email on Monday and send the part, anyone know if this is a show stopper, or if I

Thanks. After looking more closely, I realized that the standoff just provides extra stiffening at the connector. I found a hex nylon standoff in my junk box, that works perfectly. It's was threaded 6-32, but it's a snug enough fit without being screwed in place once the DSP board is

I'd much prefer to have this sort of thing external to the rig and just use them to KEY the dedicated input on the rig. Couldn't agree more. I think this stuff is made integral, even if barely usable in any other than a lets see if this really works mode, to get the blood heated up, feed the

RE: [Elecraft] K3: elaborate on the DSP at AF

Bandpass filters, for example, operate at IF and at AF. It would be tedious to list which functions occur at IF and which at AF, and some may change with future firmweare releases. But, it is very important important in at least two areas -- notch (auto and manual) and noise
