Re: [Elecraft] S/N 687 1st PSK31 Contact

The K3 manual suggests putting a resistive divider in the audio output line 
from the computer.  I installed a 10:1  divider using a 1Kohm and a 100 ohm 
resistor and it made it a lot easier to adjust the mic input gain so that I 
got none-to-one bars AGC.

My only complaint with the K3 is that is requires very little audio input to 
get to 50 Watts!  Had the LINE IN setting on 1 and the computers MAIN Volume 
and WAVE OUTPUT way down.  Can this be changed with different firmware?  It 
would be nice to be able to leave the computer's level alone, and be able to 
have more range with the K3's controls...

[Elecraft] S/N 687 1st PSK31 Contact

2008-04-27 Thread John Trager
I had my first PSK31 contact with K3 S/N 687.  Using an output power of 50 
Watts, the IMDs were -29dBc or better, as displayed on the KK7uq IMD Meter.
Why use 5 Watts when you can use 50 Watts?  Too many people have 100 watt rigs 
and use 10 Watts or less, making it difficult for one to copy them...
