Brian, I use NaP3 with my KX3. It is set up to fully function with the KX3, ala the FlexRado series. I can either control my KX3 with NaP3 or just reflect what I'm doing with the radio, and the monitor than functions like a panadapter. As far as I can see, NaP3 is the only software package that

Another way of looking at it is this: Just because a signal gets inside of your roofing filter doesn't mean squat. If the mixers can handle the signal's level, and the HI LO cut controls can slice off the signal, you won't even know it's there. You simply don't care! The only time this could be

The limit occurs several places ... adjust the "HI" setting and one will find 4.20 is the maximum available. There is also an analog lowpass filter in the audio (headphone and speaker) between the DAC and the headphone/speaker amplifiers. I'm sure this limitation derives from the roughly 10 KHz

You can do it cheaper by building a simple transistor circuit that allows you computer to key the radio via the computer's RS232 serial port. Not quite as good as a Winkeyer, but gets you on air very quickly so you can have a play. 73, Matt VK2ACL On 26/09/2012, at 10:24 PM, Myron Schaffer w

Ed, I would think you are hearing the results of a narrow passband rather than DSP audio distortion. I say that because in all cases with the K3, it is the DSP that determines the filter width rather than the roofing filter. What I am saying is that even if you put in a 1.8k filter, SSB at a 1
