The ability to listen to two different frequencies... We need a definition of dual watch. As instituted in most 'I' brand radios, it is useless, IMHO, because it it not possible to tell which signal is on which frequency. Some 'E' brand and 'Y' brand radios allow one to hear a different

2012-06-06 Thread Bill McDowell
All the chatter about the Dual Watch feature of the KX3 begs the question: Is it possible to be implemented on a single receiver K3? Have the same 15khz limitation and maybe a menu option using the REV button to implement. This feature, if feasible, would be high on my wish list! More job

Looking at the K3 block diagram in the introduction of Fred Cady's K3 Guide, the key difference in architecture here appears to be that the K3 is a dual conversion, whereas the KX3 is direct conversion. However, if you put a wide-band roofing filter (eg. KFL3B-FM 13kHz) between the first and
