Many (many, many) years ago my station consisted of a Heathkit Apache
TX1 transmitter, Mohawk RX-1 receiver, and SB-10 SSB adapter. I figured
that I had to switch or adjust a minimum of ---12--- controls to change
bands. If I needed to change between LSB and USB, add two more for a
total of 14.
I just received K3 number 968 last Friday. I quickly began assembling the
kit and made a dumb mistake. I did not notice all the small LED's on the
front panel. When I tightened down the screws on the front panel I cracked

Since you remarked that when you monitored your transmitted signal it
didn't have "fullness" I thought that you might be sending only an
idle signal, which would be the case if you were trying
Every time I see the term ESSB I see red. I wonder if these folks
have ever read FCC Part 97.307 (a) Emission Standards:
(a) No amateur station transmission shall occupy more bandwidth than
necessary for the information rate and emission type being
transmitted, in accordance with good amateu
A strange subject, but this one has me baffled. I use the K3 with an Icom
AH-4 tuner (tuning manually initiated) on the roof above me and below the
centre of a long doublet. I've used this configuration with several radios
over the last 5 years or so and it's never given me grief.
I was on 30m c
Dave,
There are a number of online resources to help ease
the pain of SMT soldering/desoldering.
If you have access to older QRP magazines, there were
many tips in them. AMQRP.ORG has useful info online.

Any update on when the ESSB function will be turned on in the
firmware? I am using the 2.7 filter with various dynamic microphones
and getting good audio reports, but not as good as I get from my Icom
756 PRO III. Would like to try a little wider bandwidth (about 3.0)
and see if I can match the PRO
Hello Ian!
... Any transmitter with effective compression
will also benefit from a "noise gate" or some other kind of nonlinear
threshold, to reduce the noise background when there's no actual speech.
This would be something like VOX, but with a different configurable
threshold and hold/relea
I would also like to add that when using the LP-PAN with PowerSDR you will have
dedicated band
buttons there as well.

Dave,
Are you in Data-A mode when using audio based PSK31? If so, adjust your
filter FC
to 1.0. The BW can be what you want it to be, I normally start mine off at 1.0
kHz.
If you transmit your signal right at 1.0 kHz on the waterfall in Data-A it
should
be the same as when using PSK-D. PS
Actually a ten minute countdown timer for we rag chewers would be kind
of nice touch and helps to comply with U.S. FCC regulations for ID
every ten minutes. The other option would be to have a built in CW
IDer that ID's every ten minutes.
Just an idle thought for when the Elecraft team has
David and All,
Not necessarily! I think Bill is pretty much on point since that is the
posted spec for the 250 hz filter (not just some random test). I am led to
believe these filters do not vary widely in manufacturing. So it would
appear that a 400 hz/250 hz combinations is not a particul
