in the opposite way--that is, lowering the threshold raised the signal level. Or maybe my memory is faulty. thanks, Gary W7TEA Lyle Johnson wrote: DSP firmware 1.87 corrects two AGC problems occasionally resulting in complaints of unexpectedly loud signals in an operator's headphones

Re: [Elecraft] K3 - DSP IF Width Increment

On CW, I find the 50hz increments to work well for varying the bandwidth but prefer a smaller (I am used to 10hz) increment for Shift. Tweaking the shift or PBT function often enhances readability for me, even with the narrow filters the K3 provides. 73, Gary W7TEA I agree that the 50Hz

MacLoggerDX 73, Gary W7TEA Please help me with an upcoming article on the K3 in NCJ. I want to mention some of the third party products that offer explicit support for the K3. I know about HRD, WinTest, N1MM, Top Ten decoder and DXD cables, microHAM Router software and cables and Elecraft

Re: [Elecraft] K3 BFO Pitch Increment Request

I would also hope the PBT could be adjustable in 10 hz increments while in CW mode. Gary W7TEA Norm Duxbury wrote: Currently the BFO pitch is adjustable in 50 Hz increments. Could this please be changed to a minimum of every 10 Hz? I think most cw ops will agree that 10 Hz

Joel and Jim--thank you! I'll use the internal K3 keyer and connect it to my Centaur that way. 73, Gary W7TEA -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/-K3--Using-a-K3-with-a-TT-amplifier---tp17684472p17696754.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com

[Elecraft] [K3] Using a K3 with a TT amplifier??

Has anyone connected their K3 to a TT amp for QSK operation without using an external keyer? If so, how? Received my Madelyn-gram today! Hope my K3 arrives early next week! 73, Gary W7TEA -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/-K3--Using-a-K3-with-a-TT-amplifier

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Band changing...Devils Advocate...

memories each able to save both VFO's and split operation. They take two button pushes to either choose or save a frequency and to transfer it from memory to VFO. Seems pretty intuitive to me and very easy to use. Gary W7TEA -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/K3-Band-changing

Re: [Elecraft] Contemplating new power supply

I've used the same Astron RS-35A for at least 20 years with several different rigs and without a bit of trouble. Gary W7TEA I'm wondering what you guys think is about the best power supply for the money for my K3/100. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Contemplating
