[Elecraft] K3 CWT Function with firmware MCU 4.60 / DSP 2.80
Has anyone experienced any issues with not decoding a good cw signal via the CWT function on firmware version 4.60/2.80? I've been running the older 4.48 which is the best firmware I've seen for the CWT function to work properly. I did note that the 4.60 firmware had some fixes in it for the CWT function, yet I'm not having any luck making it work right. I've tried all the recommend settings as well. When I revert back to 4.48, all is good. Also, my KX3 is spot on with the CW decoding. I thought possibly my AGC menu's might need adjusted but looks like this new release has it's own independent AGC algorithms. Suggestions?

CWT is not working as well in 4.61 either. It doesn't hit zero beat within 4 Hz. It used to be spot on. This observation was made and posted here when 4.61 came out. 73 de Brian/K3KO On 1/16/2013 18:36, Chad Wasinger wrote: Has anyone experienced any issues with not decoding a good cw signal via the CWT function on firmware version 4.60/2.80?

4Hz. For one who offsets with XIT 50-60Hz in a simplex pileup to avoid the zero beat mush this tiny error is of no consequence. Oops, have I just given away another pileup busting secret? I'll keep to myself whether it is a high or low offset. Regards, Mike VP8NO On 16/01/2013 15:52, Brian Alsop wrote: CWT is not working as well in 4.61 either. It doesn't hit zero beat within 4 Hz.

It has never been consistently any better than 5 Hz (the target for this feature) in any version. Accuracy varies with band noise, filter bandwidth, QSB, etc. If you were getting spot on in a previous release, it must be all in the wrist :) 73, Wayne N6KR On Jan 16, 2013, at 10:52 AM, Brian Alsop wrote: CWT is not working as well in 4.61 either.

I have had very good success decoding CW by adjusting the RF Gain. I think it is actually better with the latest firmware than in the past. - Brian, op K1NW -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-CWT-Function-with-firmware-MCU-4-60-DSP-2-80-tp7568769p7568790.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ 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
