The K3 does not generate AFSK internally. AFSK is only transmitted in response to external audio.
But that is exactly how SDR architecture transmitters do generate FSK. The only difference from what is popularly called AFSK is that the tone starts as digital sine waves.
The ones may be a bit higher pitch than one normally expects from AFSK, but they are still audio tones.
(As the K3 uses an I/Q structure, you could, theoretically, generate the two tones as positive and negative tones at the same frequency, but the problems with handling the DC crossover means that it is unlikely that anyone would do that.)
In case it is not clear, I consider both the K3 and KX3 to be SDR designs. -- David Woolley Owner K2 06123 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
