[Elecraft] PX3 6M opposite sideband suppression

2016-09-01 Thread Timothy K Cook
I just went through the opposite sideband suppression routine using the signal generated by the PX3. It worked just as described for 160-10 meters but I could not get any significant reduction or hardly any movement at all on the opposite sideband. I verified that I was looking at the

This is a capability that's not currently available. There are a few of us out here who would also like to see it happen, but given that the K-Pod communicates directly with the radio CPU it might take a good bit of software to make the radio talk back to the P3. I'm personally more hopeful

Currently when I'm operating my KX3 portable, I have the advantages of operating from a house. I use mains power and a splitter to power both the KX3 and the PX3. It's kind of ironic that I operate pure solar at home and mains power on the road. I do find the idea of slipping a battery into

[Elecraft] KX2 AM RX Comparisons

Hi- I eagerly updated my KX2 firmware to ver 2.68 and had some fun test driving the AM RX on some of the SWBC bands. Out of curiosity, I wondered how it stacked up against my Kenwood TX590S and my EAC R-390A RX. I was impressed with how well it sounded once I beefed up the audio with some cheap

Well, any 12V battery will power a KX3 [or KX1, KX2, K2, K3, K1, FT-817, etc]. Assuming a totally flat discharge curve, you can calculate for how long based on the TX and RX drains and the duty cycle. The TalentCell appear to be Li-ion and they have a fairly flat discharge curve until nearly
