Re: [Elecraft] KX3's binaural pitch-mapping feature
Roger, The AFX mode button on the K3/K3S turns the previously-selected 'AFX Mode' On and Off. You select the desired mode via the "MENU > AFX MD" option; NOTE: it's the 'MENU' and not 'CONFIG' option. You should see choices of: delay 1 through delay 5, and bin. These are described in the manual, but the delay modes provide a "pseudo stereo" acoustic image with the 'image width' proportional to the delay #. I think the 'bin' option reverses the phase on one channel with respect to the other, which changes the 'mono' image to a more 'out of head' image. To experiment in real-time, engage your AFX button, and then evoke the 'MENU > AFX MD' option and try the various settings as you listen to the band. It's probably obvious, but the best way to hear and make use of this functionality is by wearing headphones or to a lesser degree by sitting in the 'sweet spot' between your external Left and Right speakers. Have fun! 73, Dale - WA8SRA On Tue, Oct 22, 2019 at 4:10 PM Roger D Johnson wrote: > I've tried several times to get this to work on my K3 without result.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3's binaural pitch-mapping feature
I've tried several times to get this to work on my K3 without result. My K3 has no AFX Mode selection. 73, Roger On 10/21/2019 8:05 PM, Wayne Burdick wrote: The KX3, like the K3/K3S and KX2, has full stereo audio.

To turn on pitch mapping, set MENU:AFX MD to PITCH. 73, Wayne N6KR __ 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 n...@roadrunner.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
