[Elecraft] K3 ESSB question - data modes

2013-01-28 Thread Matthew Zilmer
In MARS, we use a mil data mode called M110A which requires 3 KHz of TX and RX audio bandwidth to achieve a low error rate at the higher bitrates (2400 and 4800). I've been trying it using DATA A, but error rates on the RX side (for non-K3 RXs) is still higher than acceptable. I'm assuming

[Elecraft] K3 ESSB transmit now allowed with the FM filter (firmware rev 4.60)

2012-11-17 Thread Wayne Burdick
I've modified the K3 software to allow use of the FM filter for ESSB transmit. (The current beta release, 4.58, already allows AM transmit with the FM filter.) The AM filter (6 kHz BW) is still a much better choice for AM and ESSB receive, because it provides better close-in dynamic range.

Does turning on ESSB have any effect other that allowing wider TX SSB bandwidth? Say I had a setup using the 2.8 filter and another setup using the 6.0 filter transmitting at 3.0, is there any difference other that the .2 greater bandwidth? Does the ESSB feature change the mic circuit or any thing
