Re: [Elecraft] P3 display versus FlexRadio

Hi Martin, I have a somewhat different solution to your problem, and it consists of multiple parts. First, I set averaging to maximum (I set it years ago, don't ask me numbers). :) Second, I set Scale to 24 dB when I'm not contesting, 32 dB for 100W contests, 42 dB for high power

Re: [Elecraft] P3 display versus FlexRadio

I'm not all that familiar with the Flex stuff but in some SDR software display systems it is possible to adjust the waterfall sensitivity and contrast independent of any spectrum bandscope position adjustment. It is often also possible to have any signal levels indicated by such displays bear

Re: [Elecraft] Remote Tuning for Loop?

Hi Phil, I use a cordless phone, or a cell phone, contact the second phone, and tune my loop from about 100 feet for most noise. Once you get the hang of it, you can hit a 1:1 almost every time... I have a homebrew Alex Loop running now, outside, and doing WSPR. Go to WSPR net, and select

Re: [Elecraft] Remote Tuning for Loop?

Look at the W4OP loop. The W4OP offers manual and remote tuning options. I have the W4OP (with manual and remote tuning units) and the AlexLoop The W4OP is the one that gets used the most, although it’s a bit heavier when packed and can’t really be hand held. Both are nice products. Grant

Re: [Elecraft] P3 display versus FlexRadio

Hi Jim, They may be automatically calculating a long-term-average noise floor, then subtracting it from the waterfall. The P3 could do the same thing. But automatic noise subtraction would have the same disadvantage as slow AGC: a temporary rise in the noise floor would mask weak signals for

[Elecraft] Remote Tuning for Loop?

Looks like my K2 could be orphaned for a while because the Apartment Management's latest Patrol Harridan decided that my 30-foot-long "Emergency Antenna" (end-fed wire) from my porch to the nearest tree had to come down after 4 years - took a lot of looking to see it in the first place. I'm not

[Elecraft] P3 display versus FlexRadio

I saw a demo last night of the FlexRadio bandscope. It showed the noise well above, on the Y-axis, the bottom of the display, but the waterfall didn't show the noise, just the signals on the band. When I set the REL LVL on my P3 so the noise floor is below the noise, the waterfall is blue

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Strange Power Output Problem

I ran into this today too, different frequencies though. I recently installed the KBPF3 module and have it enabled full time. I think what happened is the VFO-A frequency sets the BPF segment to be used and with the wide split, it's not the right one for the VFO-B TX frequency to use. Therefore

Hi Mark! I am transmitting on 10.113, and I do not change this. I am in Split mode, listening for NSS (who is transmitting on 9.448). I am only seeing about 20 watts out, even though the K3 Power setting says 100 watts. If I change my RECEIVE frequency – not my transmit frequency – once I

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Strange Power Output Problem

Hi Ed, You don't have a transmit problem at all. It is not an anomaly. The amateur band starts at 10.100 MHz. You shouldn't be transmitting below that frequency. I'm surprised the K3 allowed you to do that. The K3/K3S gives an out of band error and won't transmit beyond some amount below and

Hello, I noticed this power output anomaly today while trying to work the NSS station. My K3 was in split mode, transmitting on 10.113.5. While I was listening on 9.448 (the NSS transmit frequency), I noticed that even though my K3 power level was set at 100 watts, the K3 was only

Probably a silly question:  Did you turn off the tuner in the amp (bypass it)?  If not, it should be off. Rick nhc On 5/12/2018 10:31 AM, Grant Youngman wrote: Given you already have an SWR of 1.5 or less with the hexnbeam, the MFJ tuner is just adding loss. It could be the KXPA100 doesn’t

Given you already have an SWR of 1.5 or less with the hexnbeam, the MFJ tuner is just adding loss. It could be the KXPA100 doesn’t like the AL-811 input circuits. If the SWR is low (on the KXPA100) with the 811 bypassed, and high when the 811 is in line, then I’d suspect the 811 input. You
