Re: [Elecraft] k3s AM receive

After some years of both a 13 and 6 kHz filter in my K3 with sub-RX, I gave up on the 13 kHz as not being particularly useful as I wound up never listening to FM on my K3. On the other hand I frequently4 used the 6 kHz filter on AM in the "Sync" mode, which uses USB and LSB demodulation, but

Hi All, I stumbled my way through the rest of the XV432 transverter alignment and everything appears to be fine. Just trying to do the transverter band setup from page 21 in the KX3 manual. "XVn RF sets the operating frequency". I assume this means the transverter's operating frequency?

Don't forget, when you get the unit with the xfmr removed, to install the Belleville washer correctly as shown in the kit assy manual. That's important to hold the transformer in place. 73, Ron AC7AC -Original Message- From: Elecraft [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf

Ralph, When a KPA500 is shipped for service, they recommend that the transformer be removed. It not only saves on weight, but it eliminates the possibility that the transformer will deform the bottom panel should the parcel experience a sudden stop such as at the end of a sorting chute.

You might be surprised Joe. Demodulating double sideband AM with a 6 kHz I.F. filter is hardly different from demodulating SSB AM with a 2.7 kHz filter. You are only losing 300 Hz of audio bandwidth doing that. I got into the habit of running SSB mode to receive AM, particularly SW AM, because

If you have the latest firmware on the KXPA100 it 5 watts or less out of the KX3 and the KXPA100 is in bypass mode , if you increase the power from the KX3 above 5 watts the amp will then be in line and you will get a steady power light. Bob (G0UOI) On 25 Jun 2016, at 17:05, Richard Thorpe

FWIW, I listen to most SW and any weak AM signals in SSB mode. I have the 6 kHz I.F. filter but only use it on occasionally. IF you pass for now, you can very easily add the 6 kHz filter later. Your best initial investment would likely be the KBPF3A which gives you optimum receiver sensitivity

Besides the parts access issues, another consideration is keeping it buildable. If the K2 were to be updated any further, it might go out of reach as a buildable-by-mortal-hams kit with discrete components. In fact, there are compromises in the rig already to keep it easy to build, I'm thinking
