Re: [Elecraft] Audio artifacts in DATA A mode with KX3

Nick, Thank you for bringing this up. I never did get a satisfactory explanation, I contacted support too but that didn't get me anywhere either, I don't think they understood my question, which is quite simple really, why can't we get the same bandwidth in Data mode as in SSB mode? I think it

Re: [Elecraft] Audio artifacts in DATA A mode with KX3

Harry, This isn't a switch it on and off again problem I am afraid. It is simply that the KX3 Data Mode is restricted in bandwidth at the low end, unlike the SSB mode on the same radio. Bizarre but true. 73 from David GM4JJJ > On 3 Jan 2017, at 00:00, Harry Yingst via Elecraft > wrote: > >

I stand corrected. At some point early last year, the K3 firmware was updated to use the UPB; and DNB; which will allow changing of the text decode in CW. Prior to that, the UPB; and DNB; commands did nothing when the SWH40; command was issued and therefore made it impossible to set text decod

How does the current drawn by #1 compare to that of #2 on 40 at the same output power, same dummy load, etc? Power should be measured with an external meter. It doesn't have to be very accurate, just repeatable. If the currents are about the same, I'd suspect the SWR bridge in #1. If not, th
