192kHz. The Delta 44 was once the best card out there, and it's still
decent, but I haven't used one in several years, whereas I have the others

If you are using the MME driver selection or one of the other Windows

I'm sure it was just a slip of

to twice the sound card bandwidth... not twice the sound card sampling rate.
The bandwidth of the card, of course, is roughly half the sampling rate if
it is properly implemented.

Hi Bill. I tried the entire range of the REF level control with no effect.
Raising the brightness on the display just causes the black to turn gray,
plus I want to share the monitor with other things which precludes having a
special setup just for P3.

With the K3 preamp turned on I can see a -135 dB signal, even at 200 kHz
span. (I had to use a 10 dB attenuator to get the signal generator to
go that low.)

PowerSDR/IF has a definite advantage in pixel resolution at wide spans. P3
has an advantage at very narrow spans since PowerSDR uses a fixed sample
rate. If PowerSDR/IF is set for 48kHz sampling rate, the resolution at
narrow spans would be 4x better than at 192kHz, of course.

gher speed interface, like USB. I think I read that the video output jack
is for a VGA monitor. I don't know if that literally means 640x480, or
something higher. Even at that modest resolution, though, it would take more
than twice the processing horsepower of the built-in display.

Thanks for your comments and suggestions but I should not need to change the
com port number. I have been scanning the Internet and finding that there
is no lack of problems
lex owners only migrated to the K3 after seeing that they could
still use PowerSDR, which was their favorite part of the Flex radio. I have
heard this comment more times than I can count.

Since it's
generally smart to run with the preamp off on the lower bands, therefore,
the mod is quite helpful for low band use.

impossible to know if the error is in the same direction. I would think that
you could calculate the direction using the "tuned" L-network values of a

He does have the KAT3, and it was in bypass for the tests.

I also like the idea of an initial offset for use with LP-PAN. When turning
on Split, the panadapter would then clearly show both passbands in a
predictable way. With A=B, one is hiding behind the other. With no preset,
one could be off the screen.

SPICE modeling showed that the higher current was necessary to maintain the
same maximum signal handling, but I don't remember doing IMD before/after

-Bridge will continue to evolve, and there will be a major release to go

I think the days of receivers with xtal filters are numbered. High speed
ADCs capable of 140dB dynamic range without xtal filtering are on the
horizon. A 20-bit ADC with enough processing gain would do it.

LP-Bridge should be just as fast, and supports more functions in PowerSDR
than does HRD, including automatic IF offset tracking of 5-pole filters and
DSP shift. You may have had a config issue, an early version or an LP-Bridge
