If your TX signal fits into the requisite bandwidth, this complaint
doesn't matter because you are not creating off-freq energy. If
another station's RX equipment can't cope with that it is not the
problem of the transmitter or its operator. Let the guy with the

The PC- or MAC-K3/P3 interconnect uses RS232, daisy-chained through

Because of the buffering done on the input side, most Enet - Serial
adapters have worse basic transfer rates than USB adapters have.
Datagrams may have only 10-12 characters in the payload
Most networking involves some degree of character-level latency. In
general, data are arranged in packets (or frames), each of which
contains some number of characters or bytes, as payload.
If data to/from is buffered, it takes time to accumulate enough data
(or to pass enough time) to make it

Julian, I just joined up with MARS - our Military Auxiliary Radio

Bill,
I have a very similar filter set (to Brett's as shown below),
including the 250 Hz 8-pole.
I find the 1 KHz is best for casual CW and digital modes, and the 250
Hz filter is best for eliminating strong adjacent signals and in CW
pileups. Would have to say that I'm on the 1 KHz filter
How about glitchy then

I've done lots and lots of C for the 18F PIC series. The MPLAB IDE
that PIC sells works well with the ICD3 programmer / debugger.
I think the K3 MCU firmware is in C and probably some ASM, but not
sure on the DSP.

You might want to try the Creative EMU-0202 or that series. Very fine
audio, and it sits on the USB bus. No slots required, but it would
take up some desk and/or cubic space around the shack.
I use the -0202 for all sorts of digi modes (WSPR, JT65, PSK, and
other xSK modes) and it's very clean.
The K3 electronics seems to be assembled with a clean SMT process,
which means that only solder paste is used to hold the components on
the board during reflow. The boards are designed for rework.
You should not experience the same problem with K3 PCBA's. I've done
most of the approved rework
That was a mistake. You still have to order the KXV3A and install it,
or pay for it to be factory installed.
My comment should have read that the KXV3A is what will be available
from some point in time forward, for new K3's. I don't believe that
they're still shipping KXV3's now, but there may
Using a VGA cable probably won't bring all of the signals out to the
end of the pigtail since the VGA standard doesn't use off of them.
There are commerical cables using the DB-15 high density connector
that bring out all pins, or you can build your own.
It's more fun to build your own. Digikey

Hi Bill,
One reason for the 1.8 kHz roofing filter is the male voice. If you
set Fc to around 1 kHz and reduce the BW to 1.8 kHz, you get just
enough voice components in speech to leave it intelligible, but will
also eliminate almost every trace of signals to the sides. This is
excellent for

Power supply checks out normal as do the leads. The circuit breaker is in line
and does not drop out.
Try WinRAR.
