[Elecraft] K3: Audio Level Ramp-Up in DATA-A

2012-03-03 Thread Edward R. Cole
I'm wondering if there is a way to escape the 4-5 second gradual increase (ramp up) of audio drive when in DATA-A mode on the K3? I run WSJT on DATA-A and every transmit sequence starts at about 50% power out due to the audio drive ramp up. It takes the K3 about 4-5 seconds to reach full

Hi Ed, 1) Make sure you have 4-5 bars on the ALC meter when transmitting your JT65 signal - insufficient audio drive could lead to the DSP compensating by adding gain 2) Run through the TX gain calibration (see K3 Owner's Manual) 73, ~iain / N6ML On Sat, Mar 3, 2012 at 11:14 AM, Edward

Ed, Are you driving the audio to give you 4 bars solid and the 5th blinking on the ALC meter? The behavior you are seeing is normal if you do not have enough audio. The lower 4 bars of the ALC meter do not indicate ALC, they are similar to a VU meter. The 5th bar indicates the onset of ALC.

Last IOTA contest I had connected my Pro Set Plus to the rear panel like I always do. For some reason to volume was much lower than usual. Normally I have the volume knob set al 10 o'clock. Now I had to set it at 1 o'clock to get the same audio level. I could not find out what had happened and
