[Elecraft] DVR & monitor function
The DVR works great ... yet I have a question or suggestion... When I run SSB I have the monitor level turned to 0 ( off)... and then I do not hear the memory playback It is very strange knowing you are Xmiting, and not hearing what's going out. Could there be a way to set a monitor level for the playback of the memories??? different than the regular "monitor" level? Am I alone in this "blind xmit" thought? bill ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.

Re: [Elecraft] OT: RF Clipper "works with Elecraft"
ever since I out a G3LLL RF clipper in my first transceiver,,, and saw the difference... I was convinced how effective RF clipping can be. G3LLL was careful to indicate that you should roll off the bottom end... so as to not totally overburden your powersupply with the extended "duty cycle" using such a device on ssb. I have played with and still have Datong, Daiwa, MFJ and TenTec's earlier rf clippers. When set properly you will NOT get complaints of turn off that processor... just compliments. Most recently using a slightly modified TenTec version. With the latest iterations from Lyle on the K3...making it 'crunch' better, I will be soon be looking for new home for the pile. google on "RF processing ssb" something to understand and appreciate on the K3 or other radios. and I HATE bad audio... nasty clipping effects, distracting distortions...etc bill __ 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

Audio is simultaneously available at front and rear headphone jacks, and at the LINE OUT jack. Nothing special need be done. CONFIG:LIN OUT and sets the LINE OUT level (nor 10, for example). You can safely insert headphones into the LINE OUT jack and verify there is audio coming out. It will probably be low in level, but present. To keep distortion to a minimum, use a level of 10 or less when feeding the sound card input. Remember LINE OUT on the K3 is receiver audio from the K3 to the PC and should go to the LINE IN connector on the PC soundcard. LINE IN is transmit audio to the K3 and should come from LINE OUT on the PC. If there is no audio at the K3's LINE OUT connector, even with the level set quite high (50, for example), email k3support.

The 7700 has "dual watch" which is just like the 756PIII, much better than no second receiverbut far far from a full second receiver( it can't split the main & dual watch audio, just vary the audio level between the two) still need the 7800 for 2 receivers. The Pro3 is a great piece of product extremely well executed. The Pro3 scope I prefer to the scope on the 7800.maybe the 7700 is different.

RE: [Elecraft] Mic for K3 & Ducie

Had no audio and it took me a while to figure it all out.. and my k3 ( in my station) feeds THRU THE BACK CONNECTORS..

ProIII's can now be had for as little as $2384.10. I guess we could call it "The K3 Effect"? As always, it's interesting watching the market reactions to new gear. I would think that the reduction of the P3 is rather traditional marketing.
