[Elecraft] K2 #4764 has beaten them all
In a class for novice licensees I tried to demonstrate, what intermodulation is and what the consequences are. We had two signal generators operating on frequencies that were 5 khz apart and fed those signals to various transceivers of different make. The signal strength was varied between S9 and S9 plus 40 on the S-meter-reading. That was all - not scientifically at all. Then we tuned the subjects in tests up and down and identified the unwanted ghost-signals. The results were between absolutely disappointing with Ghost-signals almost as strong as the injected signals up to acceptable, where ghost-signals still generated S-meter readings. The best rig in that test by far was my K2, which remained almost unaffected even hat the highest selected signal strenght. Reading tests or test figures is nice, but seeing the effects in own experiments is much more convincing. I?m glad we did that. 73 Karsten DK4AS ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.

If any program supported the data stream it would not matter if the source was RTTY, PSK, TTY or CW.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 RS323 and Data Modes {was YAQ - Yet Another (K3) Question}
Given the increasing difficulty of producing a 45 baud 5 bit code, having translation both ways in the K3 would be useful, even with a computer attached. And the K3 has what I expect to be a reasonably capable CW decoder, too. In any case, if the output of the decoder can be sent out the serial port, a larger display would be pretty simple. The capability of sending decoded data out the serial port would be most useful. 73, doug Date: Mon, 18 Jun 2007 17:42:17 +0200 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Greg, I don't think so as there is no way to ... ... soundcard program that will allow you to do this?
