Re: [Elecraft] p3 Tap to QSY in Data A mode

Hi Alan Not in PSK D mode as we were running PSK65 so in AFSK A mode So if it has an offset programmed in for PSK D mode then maybe AFSK A mode has been an oversight Anyone at Elecraft care to comment, I think AFSK A mode needs an offset of 1500hz in the P3 so you click and tune to the centre

Hi Jim, AFSK A mode on the K3 assumes you are running FSK. The VFO frequency is the frequency of the mark tone, which is 170 Hz / 2 = 85 Hz from the center of the filter passband. Alan N1AL On Tue, 2011-02-08 at 19:23 +, Jim Balls wrote: Hi Alan Not in PSK D mode as we were running

Jim, I don't have a P3, so cannot comment directly on that aspect, but there seems to be some confusion between DATA A and AFSK A in your latest e-mail, which may obscure your message. The mode normally used for PSK and other sound card digital modes is DATA A. DATA A is an upper sideband

Why not use your mouse and select signals in the PSK software? You can select any of several signals this way that will be in your passband and it will be right on the signal. You should not be QSYing your radio to tune to different signals in the way you describe. This is just the wrong way to

Bob et al, This is not the way I operate in contests, I use the K3's excellent filters! Scenario:- If 1 very strong station is close to 3 weak stations you will not copy the weak stations due to the strong station shutting the ALC down, so narrow the filters right up and hey, there are the

Jim, I thought I saw a post in answer to your comment about QSY in data mode, but perhaps it was an answer in another thread. The poster said he noticed that when he tapped the knob on the P3 he was rotating it very slightly. After seeing this he said he set one of the function buttons to TAP

Hi Jim, I'm not seeing the problem. With the K3 set up for PSK D data mode and normalized bandwidth and offset, if I click-to-QSY on a carrier with the P3, the carrier ends up right in the center of the K3 passband. Could you tell me exactly how you have the K3 and P3 set up? What versions of
