[Elecraft] K3 - 250 Hz and 400 Hz Filter Settings

2010-07-18 Thread Jim Miller KG0KP
I chose the 250 and 500 filters for my narrow ones. I set the 250(370) at 400 and the 500(565) at 600. Works great for me. Just played in the RTTY contest last night and with the bandwidth down to 400 or 350(bringing on the select for the 250) if needed after tuning to the signal (SP) I was

Made me wonder though if one could decode two signals intertwined but individual mark and spaces traces in the clear form each other?. I would think it might be possible. Anybody done this? RTTY tones have sidebands, and since the Tx logic is not usually shaped to move optimally between

RTTY tones have sidebands, and since the Tx logic is not usually shaped to move optimally between the tones, but instead tends to switch abruptly, each tone has sidebands beyond the minimum necessary. I should add that most systems, including the K3, use phase-continuous tone switching to
