Yes, the P3 markers are good for measuring the frequency difference between two
signals.
If as well that difference (delta) could be shown textually on the P3 it would
be even better.
Can't be that difficult to do. How about it Elecraft ?

Hi,
Can those that are not able to attend and get to the Elecraft booth get
some information from those lucky enough to be in attendance?
A narrative from those there could be of interest to those of us at
home. Anything new? Are they displaying and taking KAT500 orders?
My K3, # 758 just arrived in Michigan from Aptos with the new 2nd receiver,DVR,
250HZ CW filters, upgraded DSP board and a P3 kit also. Now just have to wait
for the UPS truck to come up the driveway. Today will be a fun time at my
house...can’t wait to get the station put back together
I am reposting this question, as I received no responses the first time:
I generally only use the ANF when it is needed. I do not run it all the
time. The reason I do not run the ANF all the time is a slight
degradation of the quality of the SSB received audio when it is engaged.
Although it does
Bill,
Please enlighten me - I have searched through the K3 manual, and do not
find anything labeled ANF
If you would please give whatever you are trying to run the same label
used in the K3 manual perhaps we can provide some answer.

That would be the button labeled as NTCH. It is described on page 25 of
the owner's manual as Auto Notch.

*Don,
your not alone but I guessed it was Auto-Notch Filter..:-)
Bill is correct though, there is distortion when I have AGC=12 and SLP=2
but if I go to AGC=8 it appears to be almost gone.
Not sure why this is?

The Auto Notch of the K3 is outside the AGC loop and therefor will notch the

Hi Bill,
There is a known P3/SVGA slowdown around 150 KHz span width. You mention
that you are using 1.16 firmware in the P3, what is the firmware version of
the SVGA? (there are two separate pieces of firmware needed). You may
need to upgrade your P3 utility to the latest revision
There currently is an issue where the display update gets sluggish when
the span is set near 150 kHz. Could that be it?

Based on that I called and there are still people at Aptos and I was able to

I was able to do my K3 (which has just about everything in it) by simply
removing the back bottom cover, the rear fan plate and the ATU. I left
everything else installed. Since mine also has a K144XV, I simply let fan
plate carefully dangle while I pulled the old components out and
