When I worked in a Motorola shop (half-a-lifetime ago)we used to shoot for a CTCSS deviation of between 450 and 600Hz... and Josh is right on with his comment regarding a target voice deviation of 5.5KHz. I also agree that the squelch needs some work... As the operator at the far end during my on air testing commented... "You'll need a lot more audio if you expect to work anyone in a mobile who may be riding with the windows open!" I am certain that these problems will be addressed in a subsequent firmware update... and hope it will be soon. I've tried some of the other enhancements... I love the ability to send CW while in SSB mode with an offset that will allow a station zero beat (on ssb) to hear the CW. Thanks guys, for adding this feature... and for all the tremendous work on firmware to enhance and improve the K3 experience. 73, Joe - W1AIU _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
