What frequency? What spacing between the peaks? On VHF this effect can often be seen due to aircraft scatter, ie doppler shifted returns as well as the direct one. So lots of possible explanations. Graham On 19:59, Gerard Elijzen wrote: I was in contact with a CW station recently and his

I suspect this is/was a MCW generated signal with a bit too much drive applied. Thus over drive of any audio stage such as may occur when feeding the computer output or sound card output to the microphone input. In this configuration it is very easy to overdrive the first stage, which

A distinct possibility. For those that have a P3/PX3/SDR Panadapter and can hear WWV on several of its frequencies, compare the spectra of the 2.5 and 20 MHz transmissions with those of the 5, 10, and 15 MHz ones. The 2.5 and 20 MHz transmitters are low level modulated followed by linear

Gerald, If you only saw it on one CW signal, I would suggest there is something wrong with his transmission. 73, Don W3FPR On 8/5/2015 11:41 PM, Gerard Elijzen wrote: I was in contact with a CW station recently and his signal had 3 peaks on my PX3. Can anyone explain. The other station

I've heard some South American stations using modulated CW (tone modulated USB).This invariably produces sidebands. If other signals don't show it, then it is possible you caught one of those guys. 73 de Brian/K3KO On 8/6/2015 11:47 AM, Myron Cherry wrote: My P3 does that when the NB

Probably sidebands from stray modulation. Distance from carrier to one is the freq of the modulating signal. I've very occasionally heard what sounds like intentional MCW, you have to widen your filters to hear it but you can see it on a P(X)3. Fred K6DGW Sparks NV Gerard Elijzen
