[Elecraft] Transmit through AM-Filter

Hello, just for a test: declare the 6kHz filter (if installed) to be a 2.8 kHz filter (FLx BW) and then set FLTX SB to that filter. Enjoy the great TX-sound ! 73 Michael -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Transmit-through-AM-Filter-tp18128573p18128573.html Sent from the

Re: [Elecraft] Is NR effective on ssb?

Hi Oliver, i think there is a big misunderstanding how NR works. NR is not able to conjure a voice out of the dark. If a signal is not readable without NR, you won`t have luck with NR enabled. It only makes it more comfortable to listen to. 73 Michael -- View this message in context:

[Elecraft] K3 AM Power

Hi group, i observed a strange behaviour regading the power-setting in AM mode. When i switch to FM, transmit with 100W, switch to AM and press PTT again the K3 produces 100W dead-key. When i then adjust the power from 100W to 99W and back again to 100W it delivers the expected level of 25W

Re: [Elecraft] Is DVR audio really getting equalized and compressed?

Wow, these are very confusing answers. I have had the same question and talked to Lyle (the DSP Guru). But now to your questions: 1. Does the DVR playback audio really pass through TX EQ and audio compression before being transmitted? YES, IT DOES !!! 2. If so, why does it sound so

Re: [Elecraft] Is DVR audio really getting equalized and compressed?

Hi John, thanks for clarification. But i think he meant the adjustment of levels (KDVR3) for on the air playback. These levels are NOT adjustable, for the monitoring in the headphones or speakers you are right. 73 Michael -- View this message in context:

[Elecraft] K3: is it VFO A or B

[Elecraft] K3: Poor sound on FM

Hello, from my point of view the K3 is one of the best sounding radios on AM and SSB. But i observed a lack of quality on FM-the sound is very thin compared to AM and SSB. It seems that the DSP cuts out the range from 400 to 2700Hz (uuh!). Measured with my analyzer, i can send those graphs to

Hello Lyle, that makes sense. Here in Germany CTCSS is not so important, we use the 1750Hz Tone to key up our repeaters. It would be a nice feature if the user could decide by himself if he want to hear down to 0Hz on FM. Maybe a switch in the menu could solve this. Or adjustable bw like in
