[Elecraft] K3: power measurement
I am just getting back into enjoying my K3 #328 after a hospital stay, and am confused by one aspect of the output power measurement. I suspect the problem lies with me rather than the radio, but I feel it is worth asking the question. Suppose I set the power output using the PWR control at 30W. When I hold TUNE both the radio and the external power meter indicate an output of near enough 30W. However, if I transmit in PSK or RTTY both the radio and the external power meter indicate around 10W. In particular, I seem to be unable to get more than around 50W output in PSK or RTTY. I am fairly sure that I was able to obtain a full 120W in these modes when I first used the K3. The only change is that I have recently upgraded to the latest versions of the firmware and DSP, without any apparent problems. I would be most grateful for any advice. -- 73 Chris, MØPSK ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.

[Elecraft] that mojo thing
I've been a bit suspicious about that mojo thing, but working Ducie Island first call with K3 #328 to indoor dipoles does make me wonder . 73 Chris, MØPSK ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] K3: IMD of a PSK signal
In principle, is the K3 capable of measuring the IMD of its own transmitted PSK signal? And if so, would a firmware change enable the IMD to be displayed? 73 Chris, MØPSK ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] external soundcards for digimodes
Just to say many thanks for the numerous really helpful replies I received (on- and off-reflector) to my queries about using external soundcards for digimodes. I now know exactly what I need to do before the K3 arrives. 73 Chris, MØPSK (and just a tiny bit jealous of Tom, K3PSK) ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] external soundcards for digimodes
My own interest in the K3 is principally (but not exclusively) the digimodes. For that reason I was interested in the suggestion of Simon, HB9DRV that there might be an operational gain in using a better sound card than that on the PC motherboard. I don't know enough about computing to make judgements, and it would help me (and others in my position) if more knowledgeable and experienced folk on the list could offer advice on the following questions. Q1.Does experience suggest that there can be an observable operational gain in using a sound card different from that built into the PC? Q2.Which published technical specifications of a sound card are relevant to digimode operation? Q3.On the basis of the answer to Q2, how does one judge whether one sound card is better than another for digimode operation? Q4.Do list members have specific recommendations for cost-effective external sound cards? (The sound card suggested by Simon costs around as much in the UK as the 100W upgrade for the basic K3.) 73 Chris, MØPSK ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] PSK31 update
Randy: PSK is my main mode. I've tried several programs over the last four years, including the ones you mention. My choice is Logger32. It offers various flavours of PSK, MFSK and RTTY, one of the best logging programs around, and is free. 73 de Chris, M0PSK ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
