Re: [Elecraft] P3: Can the Panadapter be used with a Ten Tec Orion 1?

Lu, if you have access to an SDR receiver that can record it's output on a PC, it might be easier that using a noise source. When comparing several microphones and headsets on my K3, I used a Perseus SDR to play back the results for A/B/C/D comparison in order to pick the best equaliser/mic

Pardon me, but I have read a lot of the traffic on this topic, and some very good ideas have been considered. Recorded audio into the mic jack or a sound source as in a 'pink' noise, or ''white' noise allows the radio to be adjusted. I have a K3, so I can use it with the P3 to analyze the

Hi Don: Thanks for the response. Maybe Im not clear regarding what Im trying to do. I have a dozen TenTec Orion 1's at a multi multi operation I play at. Im tasked with standardizing the audio parameters for this operation in regards to compression and frequency response before CQ WW SSB.

If you protect the P3 input with some back to back diodes, put a piece of wire on the IF input, dial up the P3 IF to the the freq you wish to listen to, and the P3 will show you the received signal. I think the caveat is to protect the input to the P3 or you will burn it up.. Merv K9FD/KH6

Hi Lu, Why not just tune the K3 to the RF output frequency of the Orion? The K3's IF output signal is picked off before the crystal filters, so the P3 shows the actual unfiltered signal received at the K3 antenna connector. Alan N1AL On Mon, 2011-10-24 at 16:39 -0400, Lu Romero wrote: Hi

Hi all: I realize that the P3 can be set to function with various transceivers, but can it be used with an Orion 1 (the original model, not the current model)? Im not really interested in using the Panadapter for monitoring On Air received signals (although that might be nice if it worked well

Lu, I don't like to discourage list members away from Elecraft products, but I do not know if the P3 will do the task you are asking about - it depends on what other equipment you have to use along with the P3. Yes, the P3 can do the job IF you have the other equipment to run it for your
