[Elecraft] external sound card for KX3

2013-06-26 Thread glen worstell
I use the E-MU 0204/USB, and it seems to work fine. The sample rate should be set to 96000; that gives a panadapter width of about 95 KHz. Because the KX3 I/Q output is lowpass filtered to about 45 KHz it is not possible to get a greater bandwidth than about 90 KHz. I use quisk on linux (linux

[Elecraft] NaP3, quisk for KX3

2013-05-15 Thread glen worstell
A while ago I asked about panadapter software for the KX3, and if anyone knew of a fix for the center frequency bug in NaP3. The author thinks the bug is in the KX3 firmware, but I don't think so. Someone recommend quisk (for linux), and after several hours and a nice email from the author I g

[Elecraft] KX3 tune ptt inhibit

2013-04-05 Thread glen worstell
I am using my KX3 with an external amplifier. The ACC2 output of the KX3 keys the amplifier PTT when I push the mike PTT, as it should. I'd like to inhibit the KX3 ACC2 PTT output when I put the KX3 in tune mode (ie, I want the amplifier to stay off while tuning), but can't figure out how to
