As far as I know, there's no such thing as an Extra class in Canada, I think the highest class there is Advanced. 73, Matt VK2RQ On 06/11/2013, at 8:40 PM, Fred Smith m...@totalhighspeed.com wrote: No more Advanced licenses anymore, you're ready for the extra get the ARRL study

In Canada we have the Basic, Basic with honors, and advanced. The advanced is like the US extra. Original message From: Fred Smith m...@totalhighspeed.com Date: 06/11/2013 07:40 (GMT-05:00) To: 'Tom Blahovici' tom...@videotron.ca,d...@w3fpr.com,elecraft@mailman.qth.net

Just when I thought I had it all together I had this observation: For am, the bandwidth as shown on the k3 or kx3 says 3 with a shift of 1.5. However when you look at the p3 the band is clearly centered on the carrier but the band you see is 6khz wide. Shouldn't the bandwidth be shown as 6khz

Tom, The P3 is showing you the IF bandwidth of the signal before any filtering, but the K3 or KX3 is indicating the audio bandwidth (after filtering and demodulation. With AM, the IF bandwidth is double the AF bandwidth. A bit of study into AM modulation may be helpful. 73, Don W3FPR On

Thanks Don…, I guess the upcoming snowy months up here are a perfect time to study for my advanced license. I’ve got to do something! 73’s On Nov 5, 2013, at 11:05 PM, Don Wilhelm w3...@embarqmail.com wrote: Tom, The P3 is showing you the IF bandwidth of the signal before any filtering,

Hi, I have a question concerning what you see on the P3 when you tune in a USB signal. The green band that represents the bandwidth is not quite at the tuned in frequency (center frequency) but is displaced slight higher in frequency. If you lower the bandwidth say using a 2.1 KHz filter it

The P3 display shows the carrier (dial) frequency as a vertical line and the audio (filter) bandwidth as the boarder bar. In USB/LSB the filter bandwidth is typically something like 200 Hz to 2900 Hz (for a 2.7 KHz width). If you have selected shift/width instead of Lo/Hi, adjusting width will
