Hello all,
Today I installed the sub-receiver (and second DSP board) and replaced the
faulty power pole connector on the RF board (thank you Dale, for the part).
It's all working great, except: I am not getting confirmation or warning
tones anymore. It doesn't matter if SW Tone is on or off,
Anyone,
In the K3 utility, how do you insert the control character IM using the
computer keyboard when editing a RTTY memory?
I'm trying to cut short the long idle tail so the DX stations don't double
with me when answering my responses. I tried entering IM and cntl-T.
Neither works. Only
Use the vertical line character ie. | on the keyboard at end of the message.
This will be read as IM and stop the diddle.

Yours has been an interesting story and it was educational to watch it

Your green wire mistake was not a mistake at all. Everything in the

single point ground - that includes computers, power supplies, and

After almost 50 years of being a ham, I see that the conventional wisdom
of NOT including general coverage in a receiver has been refuted. It was
thought to be at the expense of performance on the ham bands.
How have modern design techniques overcome this limitation?

Hi Jim,
The K3 comes with very narrow ham-band filters, standard. These
provide the excellent SWL rejection that you're referring to, which is
especially important in a down-conversion superhet design. To obtain
full SWL coverage, the K3 user can install the KBPF3 option, which
adds wider
I had the impression that the rise of the Ham-band-only transceiver in the
1950's and 60's was based on simple economics. It was cheaper to drop
general coverage receive. It was also true that they were typically better
performing than most general coverage receivers, mostly due to improved
input

Just the opposite, I think. Some of the poorest performing -- and least
expensive receivers provided general

You misunderstood Paul. It think we're in full agreement. The top end
receivers (I had an HRO-5) were expensive and mechanically complex to
provide tracking, tunable input filtering.
What you quoted from my post was that I said it was cheaper to skip that
sort of complexity in favor of a
Depends on what you are trying to accomplish. If it is to prove you
can pick up the signal direct through the air then SWL is the name of
the game. (DXing is two way SWL i guess). But if it is truly the

Interesting stuff, but I really don't want to know the specs on my WWII
