P3 feature request: I'd like to be able to connect both a mouse and keyboard and use the mouse for click to tune operation, drag and zoom, drag and unzoom.etc.. I'm currently using $50 setup that requires a computer. If the P3 had mouse features I'd strongly consider and probably buy it instead

Re: [Elecraft] NB Question.....It says off but there is a difference..............

2015-11-11 Thread Guy Olinger K2AV
The DSP and IF noise blanking are distinct and operate in series when both are on. IF NB shuts off the IF for a very short time when spike is detected. The timing and width of that depends on the IF setting. The DSP NB does various things in the number soup after the analog to digital converter.

In N1MM+, use the macro {CAT1ASC KY text;} to send "text". Spaces and ; are significant - see the N1MM+ on-line documentation and the K3/KX3 Programmer's Manual. You can insert N1MM substitution macros like #, * and ! as long as the total length of the text to be sent stays below 24 characters

Jim, There is always the 2.7 (or 2.8) kHz roofing filter in-line even if you have no other roofing filters. If your situation is such that you do not encounter strong stations within that 2.7 kHz bandpass, you can do just fine with only that filter, the DSP is quite capable of isolating a sing
