Scott, The KX2/3 does not convert directly to audio. It converts the RF to "baseband" which is a zero frequency IF (in the KX3). The KX2 has the "8kHz shift" built in at all times, so the IF is 8kHz rather than baseband. The KX3 can shift to the 8kHz IF if there is breakthrough of AM

Re: [Elecraft] KX2/3 DSP AM Demodulation

Scott, The KX2/3 is not a direct conversion receiver/transmitter. Instead, it has a quadrature mixer which converts the incoming RF into baseband (or 8kHz IF) I/Q streams which is then sent to analog to digital converter. The output of the A to D converter is a 'bunch of bits', which can be

[Elecraft] KX2 and N1MM

I decided to purchase a small laptop to use on vacation with my KX2 for both logging and rig control. I like N1MM and discovered this morning that the KX-2 is not in the selections of Elecraft products within n1mm why is this? I can use just about any program for logging, but what program out

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 ATU wattage

No, it sets the transmitter to 3 W for tuning. After ATU TUNE, it goes back to the power you have set. wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On Jul 9, 2017, at 10:49 PM, PETER NORRIS wrote: > > > Sorry if this is a dumb question,

[Elecraft] KX2 ATU wattage

Sorry if this is a dumb question, when I hit the ATU button it shows 3 watts while it is tuning. Does this mean my antenna is sucking up 3 of my 10 watts due to it being a multi band effort? Thanks, Peter, VA7PMN Sent from my iPad

Re: [Elecraft] KX2/KX3 menu pauses when passing ATU.DATA with KXPA100 attached

But the menu item label itself goes to N/A, which is not alphabetical and doesn’t tell you *what* is not available, which is inconsistent with other functions that are at times not applicable. It’s really the latency when scrolling past that is the issue, as I scroll quickly to search and

Re: [Elecraft] KX2/KX3 menu pauses when passing ATU.DATA with KXPA100 attached

Erik, I cannot confirm or deny, but the 2 sets of ATU.DATA should be "N/A" or "--" when the KXPA100 is enabled. Think about it a bit - the 2 data sets only pertain to the internal ATU in the KX2/KX3. When the KXPA100 is enabled, that internal tuner is bypassed because any ATU must be on

I'm unable to get the KX2 to work with N1MM+ on my old Windows 7 netbook. It works fine with the Windows 7 desktop, and the KX2 utility works with the netbook. With N1MM+ and the netbook, there's no frequency readout, no response to CW macros, apparently no communication at all. The N1MM+

According to the Elecraft Programmer's Reference , "The KX3 and KX2 accept all K3 commands, though some have no functional effect on the KX3/KX2 (*)". So, in OmniRig, select radio type Elecraft K3, and everything supported by OmniRig

[Elecraft] Elecraft KX2 Spinner Knob

You may want to look into this more. Shaft design may not be able to support such a knob cause of what bearings type it is. May cause damage that you may not want on your KX2. Jim K9TF __ Elecraft mailing list Home:

Has anybody had any experience with coming up with an omnirig ini file for the KX2 ? Failing that, any pointers to how to come up with a new file ? I've read the Afreet readme files, but am still no wiser as to how to go about this. Thanks !! John N6RCD
