Dear Folks:
I have a newly built K2 (#6922). It works great, but now (after setting

receiver.
On CW, I hear a carrier from the other station (i

I thought about this a fair bit. Changed USB hubs here a few weeks

And after you've waited all that time, just as you hear the guy start
to come back to somebody -- is it you?? -- just then, a domestic

Is there any chance the KX3's 2 meter option could cover receive-only up to

OK let's say your requirement is for a low noise, high efficiency converter

Well, he said that the data recorder was designed for and currently uses
three AA alkaline batteries. Those things have far from a flat
discharge voltage curve so I assumed that the data recorder had some
sort of internal regulation.
I also assumed he would have to add another battery anyway

Maybe the best answer to this problem is for the first step after

the filters align left to right.

Why not just use a 6 volt motorcycle battery (two or three in parallel
if necessary) with a series diode? The total weight isn't going to be
any different no matter what you do ... one battery for everything or
separate batteries for receiver and data logging. AH capacity is AH

The original question was about PSK D but the answers didn't address
that question.
Assuming that Bud was really wanting to use PSK D with text decode on

In that case XIT does offer a method by which to go split.

Hi John,
What about using a 7805 regulator to drop the 12V to 5V?
I'm sure that you could do the job with one of those and maybe a coupla

Heatsinking, if any would need to be minimal for the regulator.
And no noise issues, if the bypassing is done right.

*Bill,
By all means educate me please.
Why would split be used on a narrow bandwidth signal such as PSK31?
Would you not be just consuming twice the amount of bandwidth as needed?
I have casually operated PSK31 and I have not seen the band so crowded that
operating split would be needed.
Curio
The only way to split on PSK-31 is to use XIT. Just go up the necessary amount
and transmit.
Works fine.
