[Elecraft] KX3 CW keying problem

2020-09-09 Thread Petr Hlozek
Hi, I've been using KX3 for some time now and still have some problems with CW keying. I'm using squeeze keying Curtis A. In the KX3 menu, there is selected A squeeze mode but during the QSO, it seems that the B is still enabled. The internal keyer very often adds dash, sometimes dot. It's

[Elecraft] [K3S] Audio from computer speakers with RSP1A connected to P3 IF Out

2020-09-09 Thread Jim N7US
I recently bought a SDRplay RSP1A SDR and have it connected to the IF Out on my P3, and I'm using it with Win4K3Suite for a spectrum display. When the radio is tuned to a quiet frequency on CW, I hear weak CW through my computer speakers, but it stops if I unplug the RSP1A from the P3's IF Out

Hi Wilson, The response of the DSP IF filters combines (cascades) with the roofing filters; when both are the same bandwidth, their skirts fall off much more sharply (the rolloff is equal to the sum of the two filters). When one is much broader than the other, we get only the skirts of the

You understand it well. The plug in filters work before the AtoD converter and protect it from desense due to strong nearby signals. Desense occurs when the ALC reduces receive sensitivity because of this strong signal. This level of suppression can be useful with other hams operating

Would someone please explain the relationship between our plug in filters (K3) and the variable filter response provided by our width control. As I understand the situation, the plug in filters we buy are roofing filters, used to prevent intermod from strong signals outside the pass band. Is

An access point will do the job, it can be set up as a simple bridge between WiFi and wired ethernet, and you can place it as far away from your transmitting equipment in the shack as possible and run a cable to a wired switch that provides access for your cabled equipment. It's very worthwhile

There sure is. I just happened to use one yesterday while testing out a Raspberry Pi4. Mine is made by IOGEAR, model GWU627. I’ve had it for a few years, so there might be a newer model out there. Didn’t cost a lot, either - Amazon is your friend. Connects to your wireless network and has a

I've tried that (with 10 dB sticks on my wifi cameras) and it didn't really help.  That router already had high gain antennas (not the mesh style, they're apparently only available with internal antennas, sadly). To 'translate' from a wired only device into wifi, an extender (with it's own

I'd always say use wired ethernet (with shielded cable) in or near the shack, a WiFi router or access point there is fine for things like your phone and tablets, but for radios, logging/controlling PC's etc. it's way too unreliable when you start operating. It's so annoying when your WiFi router

Hi Rick: And... perhaps another answer for Wi-Fi "extension" is to use a better antenna.  Some routers permit you to add an outboard antenna, which could be a gain antenna, so you would then have a better connection for your LAN.  Or, you might situate the routers so they have a better path.

Just be careful with mesh networks. Some of them, apocryphally, don't play nice with modern hotspots. I do not know of my own experience because I don't have a mesh network but I've seen forums with messages to that effect. So if you're running your OpenSpot3 (to name the first

Just be judicious in the use of wifi extenders, they are half duplex and since they share the same channel of wifi, cause conflicts, which drags down the entire network. Some can be configured to hear on one band and transmit on another, which helps, a little. My answer was to replace the
