That is not the Sherwood receiver list that everyone covets.

Taking this data the K3 would be about 11th or 12th on the list
with the stock 2.7hz filter.

If the P3 is so great as is, I have an almost new one for sale on QRZ. 
Without the NB for the SVGA board it not anywhere near good as other methods

Re: [Elecraft] P3SVGA

2014-08-15 Thread XE3/K5ENS via Elecraft
My complaint is that I feel deceived about this product(P3SVGA add-on). 
Looking at the description I am lead to believe that the P3SVGA add-on board
will allow me to view what I am seeing on the P3 on a large external screen. 
That is the way I read the ad.  But this is NOT the case.  I feel kinda
cheated on this product.  The ad needs to be changed to reflect this point. 
The P3SVGA display is NOT a copy of the P3 screen.  I know the digital
decoding is added.  By the way has, for me using a K3 for 6 years, never
worked well enough on weak signals to be beneficial. Whatever happens the NB
is something I'd like to see added and I will lobby for it as much as I can. 
Hoping someday to see this added.

73,

Keith

Re: [Elecraft] P3SVGA

Jim,

You are mixing 2 completely different items.  The decoding of the digital
signals I could care less how that works.  I don't use that function.  I am
saying that on the P3 screen with the NB on I can see weaker signals than I
can see on the P3SVGA screen.  The noise blanker does not work on the P3SVGA
board.  I would like to see the NB function with the P3SVGA screen.  I also
stated that to read the ad for the P3 it reads that I should expect to see
the same screen on the P3SVGA as I see on the P3. Only with higher
resolution.  But that's not true.  Since the NB only works on the P3 the
screens are different.

Re: [Elecraft] P3SVGA

2014-08-15 Thread XE3/K5ENS via Elecraft
Jim,

The NB in the P3 is a completely different animal than what is used in the
K3.  It is more of a visual aid and does not need to worry about the audio. 
My understanding of this NB is that if used on the audio all you would hear
is sounds like a typewriter.  The NB in the P3 does an excellent job on the
type of noise it is designed to be applied.  Before you continue I would
suggest you try the NB for the P3.  It is wonderful here at my location. 
All I asked was if there was any news about implementing this NB for the
P3SVGA add-on.  Since I have the P3SVGA board and a nice display I'd like to
see the display without all the extra noise.  I hate how every time someone
makes a comment that they think is negative to Elecraft the person making
the comment is flamed.  Most of the flamers have little idea what's
happening and I wish they'd keep their mouths shut.

Also when thinking about getting a P3 and SVGA card what you see on the P3 is
not what you see on the SVGA monitor if you turn on the NB.  The weak
signals are covered up by the noise on the SVGA screen.
The NB works great but is not carried over to the SVGA screen.

Don maybe should have stated if you have a port selected that is available
then it will not scan.

Re: [Elecraft] Is there a reason the receive is so Skinny

2014-04-27 Thread XE3/K5ENS via Elecraft
Joe,

You shouldn't have any problem agreeing RTTY should not be
used as a digital mode.

Keith, K5ENS



 I would also hope there is a time and place for more courtesy. 

Including maintaining a *clean*, narrow signal that does not use 
half again as much spectrum as a reasonable communications grade 
signal as defined by ITU (and NTIA). 

 97.3(a)(43) Spurious emission. An emission, or frequencies outside 
 the necessary bandwidth of a transmission, the level of which may be 
 reduced without affecting the information being transmitted. 

(SSB) Phone = 2K80J3E = Necessary bandwidth 2.8 KHz. Emissions outside 
2.80 KHz = Spurious emission 

 97.307(a) No amateur station transmission shall occupy more bandwidth 
 than necessary for the information rate and emission type being 
 transmitted, in accordance with good amateur practice. 

 97.307 (c) All spurious emissions from a station transmitter must be 
 reduced to the greatest extent practicable. If any spurious emission, 
 including chassis or power line radiation, causes harmful 
 interference to the reception of another radio station, the licensee 
 of the interfering amateur station is required to take steps to 
 eliminate the interference, in accordance with good engineering 
 practice. 

SSB greater than 2.8 KHz is neither good engineering practice nor 
necessary for the information rate and emission type being transmitted. 

73, 

... Joe, W4TV

Joe,

Because there are other narrower digital modes that can do the same thing.
RTTY uses much bandwidth. Just like you claim ESSB uses to much.

RTTY is an old outdated digital mode and severs only one thing these days.
Contesting.

OTOH.  Last I checked my K3 can be set to transmit ESSB 4.0Khz wide.
But it can't be set to transmit SSB at 2.3khz wide.

Re: [Elecraft] Is there a reason the receive is so Skinny

2014-04-27 Thread XE3/K5ENS via Elecraft

I've been asking for the ability to narrow the transmit bandwidth on the K3
for years.  That would make a better contest radio.
But alas all I hear is it's on the list.

Keith  





A friend of mine has a flex and can vary his transmitter BW 
we ran some tests 
and as I told Dick,, if ur gonna chase DX as you narrow your 
signal to 2 K or so with  the same mike gain etc really gives you punch 
with better average power but no increase in distortion,, well not much 
observing it on the P3 
taking it much less than that does cause distortion bad sounding audio 
but if you know any folk with a flex get them to do the same test 
interesting to observe on the P3 
Dick still likes to use ESSB but not when 75 is very active 

long thread fer sure 

HAR

Joe,

You of all people should know it's not the same as actually narrowing the
IF.
You should try both and compare.

Keith





If you use K9YC's suggested EQ you will be very close to 2.3/2.4 KHz 
audio - particularly if 400 and 3200 are set to -16 dB.  Try it ...

None of this will matter soon as we will have a new mode button.
Digital Voice will be the new SSB.  Then everyone can complain
about all the SSBers taking up 2.8 KHz.

You know how to bait a guy.  But there is more info in the made up QSO than

PSK-31 maybe, where the proponents mistakenly believe that you don't need

the 
built-in tuner and the 8-pole 2.8 KHz filter, running 8.65 W to a wet

gold-plated connectors. Ham Radio Deluxe is used because it is way too 
complicated for the average ham and makes we holier-than-thou operators
feel 
superior. Well OM... was my pleasure to QSO you. I QSL100 percent via
eQSL 
after receipt of $10 US via Paypal. I wish you good health and happiness
in

Re: [Elecraft] P3 beta software with noise blanker

2014-04-25 Thread XE3/K5ENS via Elecraft
I am unable to try this at this time.  Are you saying this only shows up on
the built-in monitor and not on the external SVGA monitor?


Keith




Alan, 

Nice work -- thank you very much for implementing this! Prior to this, 
even though the K3 NB was very effective at eliminating the powerline 
noise, the P3 was pretty much useless since the signals were not visible 
below the noise. No longer the case! 

*Will you also be implementing this on the SVGA side as well? *

Thank you again!
