Plenty of QRN on the low bands especially in the summer. I meant the local man-made stuff. 73 Bill WA5KPE _ -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/K3-and-PSK31-Data-Mode-and-ESSB-tp2517050p2519180.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _

I am in agreement with all of the above about the narrow filter capabilities of the K3 which I considered a given when I made my original post. I have also considered the panadapter solution but that would complicate matters to a degree. I probably live in a quieter radio environment than many ha

Dave, Thank you very much for the prompt response and testing of this for me. Once generally known, this ability to operate PSK31 in ESSB with click and transmit across a 3.5 kHz waterfall would I think make the K3 even more attractive to data mode operators than it already is. It would probably

I keep getting the 232 error code. I have tried 7100.00 and several frequencies between 7000.00 and 7100.00. I have the frequency counter probe connected to TP1. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks Bill Strong WA5KPE -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/K2-CAL-PLL-Error

Don, Thank you for your response. I read all of your posts. I will do as you say. I can see that a center of 1000 Hz would be what I need for use of the 2.2 KSB2 filter for transmitting. By way of explanation I have been using the waterfall display on DM 780 to set my filters as it seemed to ac

I am trying to align my 250 hz crystal filter with a 200 hz DSP filter in the middle of the passband of my 2500 hz SSB filter for the purpose of transmitting and receiving PSK-31 in the middle of the 2500 hz filter bandpass. I have succeeded in moving the crystal filter by changing the bfo settin

Andy, I want to give you a follow-up. I built the KAT100 in less than three evenings and it is a wonder to me in both its design and operation. I built the BL1 in the 4:1 configuration. I get a 1.1:1 or less match on all bands except 15 Meters which is about 1.5:1. I find that the balun gets hot
