[Elecraft] KX3 filters oscillating issue
I have a fully loaded KX3 with the roofing filter. With the AF set to 12, the RF set to 0 and the monitor level at 19, when I start closing the filter (APF OFF) it begins to oscillate at bandwidth 1.8k until it gets down to .05k and stops. This happens on every band. With (APF ON) the oscillation begins at 1.8k but changes timbre as the filter is closed to .05k but never stops. This has been happening since I got the transceiver back from service a few months ago. Is this a setting of some kind that got reset during service? Is there something I need to change? Thanks for your input. 73!

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 - Filters? Am I missing something or??
Don, You hit the nail on the head! BINGO! I don't believe I touched the roofing filter menu, I had no reason to in that I didn't install it. However, it was already selected in the menu and set to "normal". Either way, I turned it off and it brought back the DSP filter. Thanks for the explanation on the display. I didn't realize it was the exact same display. Now mine only shows Fil1 and I can scroll way down in bandwidth just like I expected to.

Steve, The display used for the KX3 is the same as that used for the K3 - and the K3 has up to 5 roofing filters while the KX3 has only 3, but since yours does not have the roofing filter option, you have only one filter available and that is FL1. The DSP sets the actual filter width and center frequency, and is quite good even without the additional assist from the roofing filters. I am just curious how you are able to select FL2 or FL3 without the KXFL3 installed. Have you checked the menu for RX XFIL and be certain it is set to Not Inst if you do not have the KXFL3 installed. 73, Don W3FPR On 7/12/2012 8:14 PM, Steve KC8QVO wrote: > I plugged an antenna in to my KX3 this evening for the first time - dead.

[Elecraft] KX3 - Filters? Am I missing something or??
I plugged an antenna in to my KX3 this evening for the first time - dead. I got to playing around with it and cranked the filter wide open and the receiver came back to life. Every time I crank the knob past Fil1 to Fil2 I loose the receiver. I flipped through the manual and didn't see much pertaining to this. I am thinking that the roofing filters are just that - roofing filters. I do not have them installed. Shouldn't the receiver allow DSP filtering down to 50Hz? I see there are spaces for Fil4 and Fil5 on the display, but mine don't light up past Fil3 even if I go down to 50Hz.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Filters
There's one roofing filter option module, the KXFL3. It includes bandwidths of 500 and 1500 Hz for CW and DATA modes, and 3000 Hz for SSB mode. 73, Wayne N6KR On Oct 14, 2011, at 8:50 PM, W7JJL wrote: > How many roofing filters can you put into the KX3? > > Thanks > > John > W7JJL __ 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
[Elecraft] KX3 Filters
How many roofing filters can you put into the KX3?
