First time I have heard about this. How much frequency shift are we talking

Hmm, have you checked the calibration above S9? If you compress the scale

Hi,
Just for the record, my standard setting is:
DSP t2-5
IF MED3
This is really effective for my power line noise. There are cases where the
noise starts to come back when there are strong (SSB) signals in the
passband but normally it remains blanked even then.

If Elecraft could come up with a replacement for the KPA3 delivering 100-200W
with 40dB IMD performance, I would buy one in an instant. Forget about the
power supply, that's a commodity.

the tuner when needed, the receive signal goes up (mismatch loses receive
signal too).

significantly raised and there is *no* advantage gained. The total dynamic
range will be reduced by at least the increase in the noise floor (that's
assuming that the preamp is completely distortion free).

I completely agree with you. The inline fuses are there for mobile
installations where you have a direct connection to the car battery. On my
ICOM radios I have always shortened the power cable removing the inline fuse
in the process.

Receiver results as expected, great. Disappointed with the transmitter IM,
even at reduced power. My question to Elecraft is: If this had been a
factory assembled unit, would it have passed QC at Elecraft?

expertise develop a small Linux box that would bridge the serial port to
Ethernet and that may be a more sensible way to go. Right now I doubt if
adding an Ethernet port for the K3 should be the priority task giving the
limited engineering resources available.

from fair to poor, so I assume that they use their own boomsets. I wonder
how they are doing, the storms last night seemed to have unsettled them a
bit. I see them on the cluster on 80 and 40 this morning, so I guess they
are OK.

Why not use the A/B button instead of REV when working split? No acrobatics
necessary. Tap it once, tune the other frequency, tap it again and you are
back where you started.

I don't have any trouble holding the REV button on my K3 with my index
finger while turnin
and
you're back. Many split errors right now on 14205 (9x03 - gud sig here in
CNY). I think in most cases this error occurs because you forget to turn the
SPL function on.
