[Elecraft] TX audio passband and ESSB

2008-01-30 Thread Jay Schwisow
I saw a note from Lyle that indicated that the TX audio passband was 250hz to 3150hz. Would this be any different with the 6khz roofing filter( ESSB enabled) or is it a firmware issue at this time? Jay - KT5E ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to:

Jim, I run alot of CW contests and with constant CQing/exchanges you could fry an egg on the heatsink. The existing cooling cannot keep up with the heat generated. It looks a bit Frankenstein but I mounted (with double back tape) a 12 volt 2.5 muffin fan on top of the heat sink. It runs

Keith, Right now at sunspot minimum I would say 20or 17meters. 40m at night but operating split. 80m and 160m follow if antennas allow. Once the solar flux climbs up around 90 you will see some nice propagation on 15 meters. Have a look at the SSB dx contests. October is one of the
