[Elecraft] K3 and Heath SB-610

2013-01-17 Thread Jan Ditzian
I have a K3-100 with KIO3 and KXV3, an Ameritron AL-82 amplifier, and a 
Heath SB-610 RF display scope.  The SB-610 is currently able to monitor 
the K3 and AL-82 outputs during transmit, displaying either the 
sinusoidal output or an RF Trap.


Has anyone used the K3 as an input to the SB-610 on receive?  I am 
interested in: (1) what the necessary IF setup is for the SB-610 (I may 
have the components for the alternatives); (2) whether the KXV3 rear 
panel IF output can be used; (3) what the display shows on receive given 
the way you have set things up (frequency range).


Thank you,

Jan, KX2A

The SB-610 is not a spectrum scope like the SB-620 so you can't get a 
panadapter display.  I don't know what IF frequency your unit is set up 
for but you'd probably have to change the tuned circuit to the 8215 kHz 
(sorry kc :=) IF of the K3.  You likely also will need a preamp since 
I believe the SB-610 was designed to connect to the last IF amplifier of 
a receiver, not the first IF as in the K3.
