Re: [Elecraft] Setting the DSP filters for SSB

You should be using hi/lo cut. You can leave lo pretty much alone at 200 or 0.20. Adjust hi cut to your preference or qrm. If you have narrow filters, they will engage at the set points. Sometimes it's best to use ATT before rf gain. On low bands with static crashes its sometimes helpfull

I had something similar a month ago. When I would touch a switch or front mic plug, the receive would come back. I'm not sure it would completely disappear but definitely attenuated. Turned out to be a PL-259 that was snug but apparently not tight enough. 73 Mike R Check out the QRZ app

Re: [Elecraft] K3 in WPX SSB with 2.7 roofer

Just a thought, On SSB, you guys should try using LO HI cut instead of shift and width. You won't look back and it will probally sound better. You can probably leave lo cut pretty much alone and vary hi cut. Roofing filters will come in automatically. Try it. 73 Mike R RIP- Mr 500.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 DSP BYPASS

I don't think it's possible. Some dsp functions are not available with AGC off. Sometimes it's quieter with AGC off and reduced rf gain but not always. After 3 years, the best way to reduce hiss for me is to reduce hi cut (on ssb) sometimes to 2.4,sometimes 2.1. I would think in a contest you

Re: [Elecraft] A confession

The major thing he alluded to, I agree with. Elecraft needs more stable firmware and displays. I may be wrong but it seems there are too many instances of hiccups, bumps or whatever. I have a friend looking to buy and did not recommend the k3 without those disclaimers. 73 Mike R RIP- Mr

Ken, Yes,I have a Elecraft radio thank you very much. I misspoke about the display but I have had some issues, not as many as some. I have received help as well. I'm sure there is a tendency to confuse beta with non beta. That's pretty hard to do unless you keep a list. I like the radio,

Looks like this was because volume turned up too high. I have tended at times to run RF GAIN backed off quite a bit thus requiring a hefty amount of volume of about 2 o'clock. I would then adjust RF Gain to the level of volume I wanted. It looks like some stations were strong enough to

[Elecraft] [K3] RX Audio/AGC

I have a ongoing nuisance. On USB it seems high voices will pop/crack just like if AGC was off and hitting the AF limiter. Reducing RF Gain clears it up. Turning agc threshold down has no effect. Is there a agc setting that might correct this? I haven't tried slope which is 15 (max). I

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] RX Audio/AGC

Let me add, I don't mind reducing rf gain more one on one BUT its aggravating after a while in a group to turn it up and down for one or two guys with high pitch voices. Seems AGC should do that? Once again, it's like the high pitch voice is activating th AF limiter or a similar sound. AGC

I've got a gap made by bmi. When I first put it in I thought it was some advantage but rarely think so anymore. I can switch it in and out. When I want NR I run the k3 dsp pretty hard on ssb at 7 or 8-2 or 3. This reduces volume drastically so I have phones on the external speaker side but

Re: [Elecraft] K3- audio balance and hiss

Since it was suggested that this hiss is band noise, I tried it with no coax connected to the K3. Same result. This may indeed have something to do with a flat response as suggested. I've often wondered if other manufacturers roll this high end off. I think it's somewhere around 3500hz. At

Re: [Elecraft] K3 RX AUDIO

I think the audio voice quality has been remedied long ago. What lingers is the high end hiss that I and a few others hear. Apparently this only bothers a minority. On my 5047 it occurs with hi cut of about 2500 and gets worse to 3000. If you run bandwidth 2.1 or below you will never hear it.
