[Elecraft] KXV3B preamp or preamps? K3BPF mods questions.

2015-05-31 Thread Klaus Dittrich
Does the KXV3B include a second preamplifier for the subreceiver or just one preamp for the main receiver? Is the antenna routing the same as before? If existent, can one use the preamplifier for the subreceiver together with the aux input of the subreceiver? Is the antenna routing the same a

One of the costs of a highly integrated system like the K3-P3-KPA500-KAT500 is the mess of cabling used to pass information among the components. It all seems so — how should I put this — so 20th century. My desktop computer system with its wireless mouse and wireless keyboard and wireless rem

The only thing connected was the bird load and the DC power. I think the problem is in the A to D or D to A chip or are they integrated in the DSP chip? I assume that there's a mic amp in front of the A to D. It could cause noise problems. - Jack WA9FVP Sent from my TRS-80 :-) -- View th

Perhaps you could use a sequencer such as the DX Engineering TVS-1 to give you more delay time. I recently bought one to sequence my DXE NCC-1, a receive antenna preamp, my K3 and my KPA500. While I haven't yet figured out how to set the correct delay times for everything it appears to be a w

One thing that hasn't been mentioned so far is that the WinKeyer has a separate PTT out that has a programmable delay before initiating the CW. This will allow the needed delay without affect the sent CW in any way. Use one here, works well. Used the scope to measure the actual settling time

I believe from previous mail, it’s actually a small UPPERCASE S - so I’d say an upper case one, unless you can do small caps. you might try a smaller point size if you can. Nice to a post from you Rose, I do hope your feeling better. 73 de David, M0XDF (K3 #174, P3 #108) -- Whales have calves
