Re: [Elecraft] distorted FM audio
Hi Chris, not changable, it's by design. :-( The "clipping" sound is due to the NF stage which limits at about 4 kHz. The KX3 is much much better in that respect. 73, Olli - DH8BQA Contest, DX & radio projects: http://www.dh8bqa.de Am 24.08.2014 03:25, schrieb Chris Meagher: I have just started using 2 metres FM on my K3 #685. The receive audio is rough and distorted, it sounds as if its being clipped. The FM Inrad filter is .in slot 1 and FL1 is showing. By comparison, my Yaesu FT3000 and FT817 are qute undistorted on the same signals K3 SSB audio is fine. Can anyone assist as it is not pleasant to listen to.

Re: [Elecraft] distorted FM audio
On your filter setup in the K3 utility, set Freq Offset to zero to start. Set bandwidth to 13, and check "FM Enable". Also make sure that the FM filter really IS in slot 1, and that it is properly seated. 73, and good luck Guy K2AV On Sat, Aug 23, 2014 at 9:25 PM, Chris Meagher wrote: > I have just started using 2 metres FM on my K3 #685. > The receive audio is rough and distorted, it sounds as if its being > clipped. > > The FM Inrad filter is .in slot 1 and FL1 is showing. > > By comparison, my Yaesu FT3000 and FT817 are qute undistorted on the same > signals > K3 SSB audio is fine. > Can anyone assist as it is not pleasant to listen to. > > Chris > VK2ACD > __ > 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 > Message delivered to k2av@gmail.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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
[Elecraft] distorted FM audio
I have just started using 2 metres FM on my K3 #685. The receive audio is rough and distorted, it sounds as if its being clipped. The FM Inrad filter is .in slot 1 and FL1 is showing. By comparison, my Yaesu FT3000 and FT817 are qute undistorted on the same signals K3 SSB audio is fine. Can anyone assist as it is not pleasant to listen to.
