Re: [Elecraft] Topband RF feedback problem

Yes, Stewart asks a good question. As I reported previously, I had to install an ICE 196 RF Limiter in the Beverage feedline to prevent my Acom from generating ArcFault errors on 160M. 73, Barry N1EU Stewart G3RXQ wrote: Are you using a separate RX antenna ? There is a recognised issue

RE: [Elecraft] K3 Mic Connector

If you built the kit, you might not have mounted the front panel properly and fully seated the mic connector. Go to http://www.zerobeat.net/mediawiki/index.php/K3_Kit_Building and read the tips under Front Panel and DSP. Check what is described about seating the mic connector. 73, Barry N1EU

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Equalization Memories - Missing?

I've had the same thought. I assume that eventually we'll have some software support with a nice GUI to set/save EQ settings on a PC. But perhaps recruiting M1-M4 buttons to somehow save/restore 4 RX EQ and 4 TX EQ settings would be really nice. 73, Barry N1EU WB6MND wrote: I'm a new K3

This is perhaps a long shot, but anybody out there want to trade their narrow 1.8Khz K3 filter for a 2.8Khz filter? Please reply off list. 73, Barry N1EU ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post

Re: [Elecraft] K3 SSB - Is the 5 pole filter good enough

. Not very good at all... I wonder if others have plotted their 5 pole filters. I have plotted my 2.7Khz filter in both USB/LSB and am not seeing the slope that you're seeing. I'm able to adjust the center freq so that USB/LSB sound virtually identical. 73, Barry N1EU -- View this message

[Elecraft] K3 Noise Reduction Recording

David, I suggest you make a recording with a signal present and not just background noise. I suspect the noise reduction algorithm might be adaptive and require the presence of signal in order to optimize its action. 73, Barry N1EU So I have made a recording on the noise and it is available
