Re: [Elecraft] No transmit on 12m in split??

Getting VFO B to the same mode as VFO A is easy enough if you are in the habit of first tapping A>B, tap it twice. First tap transfers the frequency, the 2nd tap transfers the mode, filters, etc. 73, Don W3FPR On 12/17/2015 7:00 AM, Gary Smith wrote: G'mornin' With my K3, if I earlier had

I thought of doing something with Python and SDR I/Q processing but never got around to doing anything. But, I decided it would be far easier to use Mathematica (for what I want do to) rather than Python even though I would probably have to cobble together an interface to pull out the I/Q data

If you have a K3 with a broken KIO3 or KIO3A, why did you refuse my offer to send you a KIO3A last week? It is used but operationally fine. This addresses your stated problem and you still have the option to replace it with a "new" assembly when the KIO3B is available. Ed W0YK

Re: [Elecraft] K3S 15KHz output?

Bob, The K3 and K3S have an internal 15-kHz (nominal) 2nd IF that goes to the DSP. But this is not a quadrature signal like in the KX3, and it also follows the crystal filter, so it is very narrow band. 73, Wayne N6KR On Dec 17, 2015, at 12:57 PM, Bob Novas wrote: >

Re: [Elecraft] K3S 15KHz output?

Bob, No 15 kHz output, but better for SDR experimenting, use the IF output at 8.215 MHz. That gives you a output that is prior to any IF filters in the K3S. If you want baseband I/Q outputs, you can connect a softrock receiver or LPpan2 to that IF output. 73, Don W3FPR On 12/17/2015 3:57
