Not sure what you mean by feeling. As the filter BW is narrowed, I
usually shift the Fc down as well. This gives more balance to the
heard spectrum, which is a change of course. When the roofing filter

Yes, this is a known problem. For example, the driver starts

Hi to all...

If you have the P3's AVERAGE enabled, it can lower the peak shown on
the P3. If at the same time, you have CONFIG:SMTR PK turned ON, there
will probably be a significant difference between the two indicated
levels. The K3's S-Meter will hang on the peaks for a short time,
maybe long enough for

Ethernet cable is gonna look oogly - but it's cheap. The twisted
pairs should provide a little shielding. The jacket will not be very
smooth unless it's made from some material like TPE (rubberized
thermoplastic). These are usually called Plenum Cables because of the
rated temperature range.
Only FM mode can be disabled entirely. See p29 of the Owner's Manual,

Good point, but it could be someone's NTSC box that has an HD
converter in front of it. Still - hearing an even harmonic seems odd.
Or another piece of shack equipment that uses a color burst xtal.

Suggestion: Get a shielded USB cable and/or use them throughout the

those suggestions first.

The K3 connector is an SMA. Almost all of the Trimble units came with
a splitter, because E911 required two 10 MHz references to function.
Unless you need two sources yourself, I'd go direct from the Tbolt to
the K3 without the splitter, but it really doesn't matter. You'll
have plenty of 10 MHz
Set it under TX full power load at the K3 APP terminals, measured

I use 14.2 at full load. RX voltage is then 14.5V. This provides

This might isolate the mic itself or the mic input circuit as the

Nearly all consumer electronics is produced using metric hardware,

odd drive types (Torx, one-way, etc.), the sizes roughly approximate
the American standards in terms of TPI, torque settings, etc.
Thanks Paul. Good summary and reference info.
The K3EXREF certainly works as advertised. I've already used two
