[Elecraft] KX3: Is this a serious error in KX3 Firmware affecting the IQ output?

2014-09-23 Thread Ron van Doremalen
@All, Noticed this change in offset when using the Win4K3Suit. When FL1 is in used center frequency and waterfall are right on the spot. As soon as FL2 kicks in I notice a ‘roughly’ 1.5Kc shift in the waterfall patern. Using low/high to set the bandwith (don’t even know to get into the other

Hello,I received reports recently about the signal peaks that are seen in software based panadapters appear to shift by approximately 1.25kHz when the bandwidth control is changed from 1.8 to 1.7. in USB mode on the K3 At 1.8 the IS command returns 1500 in USB and the BW command returns BW0180

Tom, I don't know the answer, but what I can inject is the fact that the KX3 shifts to Weaver demodulation at some point, it may be at 1.7 kHz. That would affect the signal peaks without substantially changing the sound of the signal on the KX3. 73, Don W3FPR On 9/22/2014 7:13 PM,

Hi If this is the case is there any way to determine exactly where or when this happens? Does it happen as I described?  Can one use the BW command to  actually compensate?  Does it occur in USB only? Thanks for any insight. 73's Tom On Sep 22, 2014 7:25 PM, Don Wilhelm w3...@embarqmail.com

Tom, Look up Weaver demodulation on the web and you will see that when that demodulation technique is used, there will be content in the low frequency portion of the audio and aalso on the high end, with little signal in the middle of the audio spectrum. It should happen in both LSB and USB,

Tom, There is another thing to consider, and that is whether the operator is using Shift and Width to control the bandwidth or whether he is using HiCut and LoCut. If using Shift and Width, the center frequency would remain the same as the Width is changed. In HiCut/LoCut the center

Hi Don, Thanks for the info. I wish this was documented somewhere or perhaps I missed it.  But it seems that so did all the other software developers making pan adopters for the kx3. Perhaps someone from Elecraft could explain this and at exactly what point it occurs? Thanks again. On Sep
