I have set it up in what I believe to be a correct manner, with the radio set to Yaesu, the interface as RS-232 and the baud rate to 9600. If you are using a serial connection, set the Bandmaster for *KENWOOD*. The Elecraft protocol is nearly identical to that of Kenwood. In fact, I often

Just made a quick sweep of my K3S in DATA A mode, no EQ, No SP, and find that it will pass 70 Hz with little to no attenuation. On the high end it will pass 3000 Hz but greatly attenuates 3100 Hz.  This is done with the stock filter of 2.7 kHz. At this point in time, I don't have a suitable

The cutoff would be higher than 2.7kHz. What you add to the high frequency end is subtracted from the low end. The high end is normally about 3kHz which means the low end of the roofing filter is at about 300Hz. Yes, ESSB operation would require the 6kHz roofing filter. 73, Don W3FPR On

The rule for a balanced sound is that the product of the lowest and highest frequency should be between 450,000 and 500,000. So for a 2.7 KHz cutoff that means a low cut of 166 to 185 Hertz, or rounding that could be 200 Hertz. Sent from my iPad > On Dec 25, 2018, at 8:03 AM, Michael Blake

Michael, I think the rolloff is not much (in support of those who want ESSB operation. Much of the rolloff depends on your microphone. Jim Brown K9YC has long advocated reducing the TX EQ below 500 Hz or so in order to increase your effective communications power. An improvement of 3 dB or
