Re: [Elecraft] Help with IF Noise, DSP Noise, NR settings

Looking at the MECC map, I’m pretty sure the 500 KV line is +- 500 KV DC so that would by itself make it pretty quiet. Sent from my iPad > On Jun 15, 2019, at 7:34 PM, Fred Jensen wrote: > > I have never found a noise blanker to be of particular value, if any at all, > on general power line

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Port sharing redux

Wes, maybe I read your email wrong, but you implied that setting up the com0com pairs was a PITA. You used the acronym PITA and I assumed you were talking about com0com. That's why I commented that you actually do not need to look at the device manager because it appears that confused you. Like

Re: [Elecraft] K3s Sensitive adjustment for FT8

You need to back down the level out of the computer. Also the PWR level in the software, which is actually audio level , needs to be backed down. This should allow you to run the Line Gain at 25 to 35. Never run any of the controls or levels at maximum or near minimum. Mid range is best

Something new has come up with the K3s/JTDX settings and I can't find where to adjust it to make a change. This is new, it has been fine till a couple days ago & maybe the recent win 10 update nailed me again? Till now, when setting the levels for Tx for FT8, I would adjust the setting on

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Port sharing redux

Wes, I think you are pretty well set on the continued use of LP_Bridge. Keep in mind that Larry hasn't touched / updated LP_Bridge for 3.5 years, plus it's painful to wait for it to start up the virtual eltima IMHO. You just do not get true virtual K3 CAT instances with LP_Bridge that support

Thanks for all the great responses. Seems I was on the right track. Fred's book mentions that some day the ATU TUNE may control the KAT500 and that had me wondering if I had something wrong. Everything trained up nicely and I think I have the per-band op/stdby powers set right. The KAT500 is in

I have the proset-k2 running off the rear panel mic/phone jacks. It sounds fine on mon (too mic shy to test on air) but I'd like to adjust the equalizer settings for Rx and Tx to get a feel for them. For RX, as an example, I press the 1 button and see 0.05 +0. When I try to adjust the VFO to

I’ve not seen confirmation as to whether the K4 uses pre-distortion to improve the TX IMD levels. The inclusion of a sample input socket suggests it does. If so, does a barefoot K4 use pre-distortion and will there be a mod kit for the KPA500 to provide a sample output? 73 Dave -- Sent from my
