I am not sure where it ends up but if you use the web to write you will see
an upload file button and an add link button.

And why not use it.

Hello,

I wrote this message directly from my e-mail software as i do habitually.
As most of the time i use Yahoo groups, i've a link for  files, pictures
uploading.  I know i've some memory problems (66 y/o) but
i never used  n2.nabble.com.
By looking your 2k7 filter plot, i saw that my anomaly (the little peak
at the right part) is also present on your plot.
For me it's no more a local anomaly and the question is partially closed.

73,
Rudolf

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Filter response

2009-01-21 Thread AD6XY

The anomaly is not really an anomaly, it is just the other side of the down
conversion oscillator. For a filter to pass an SSB audio signal the passband
needs to go down to 300Hz or so. For this to happen the attenuation for 0Hz
and image frequencies can't be that far down. That is all it is though it is
probably better with the 8 pole filter. It can also be eliminated by raising
the centre frequency, at the expense of bass response. Unfortunately I don't
think you can do this on transmit, though perhaps you could adjust your
filter offset. That would not work with the USB/LSB inversion below/above
8MHz.

Currently the filter is centred on 1.5kHz by default. The best place for it
but if you narrow it down with DSP it is probably better to raise this to
1.8kHz. I am not sure how the filter shift relates to the DSP filter and the
crystal filter, i.e. which is adjusted, probably both.

However, I find I always need to reduce the filter centre frequency to
maintain intelligibility as I narrow the DSP bandwidth. So to make sense of
a signal within 1.8kHz I need a 1kHz centre frequency. That is not what I
would expect which makes me wonder what the shift control actually does.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Filter response

Mike,

Thank you for the explanation; i understand now that this
false anomaly is present with the 2k7 and 2k8 filters.

May i abuse of your knowledge to explain to me the following
behavior
:
During receive, the 2k7 and 2k8 filter seem to give a ~ 300 Hz at -10dB
frequency; it's ok for my use;
during transmit, the same filters seems to give a ~ 500 Hz at - 10dB
relative to  the 1 kHz attenuation; i've tried to shift the bandpass, but
naturally, the high frequency is shifted too.
As i work essentially with digimodes, i can accommodate with that; but 
what is
the cause of this difference ? (coupling capacitor, etc).
I've tried to play with EQUALIZER, but the ALC bars begin to get
non desired values...

73 QRO fr Rudolf, HB9ARI
