[Elecraft] k3 meter display

2009-11-23 Thread shwhafen
Hi!. Just downloaded 0363. All seemed fine but now my meter display on cw wants to show only cmp[compression] & alc, instead of swr & power. I tried downloading again, but got the same result...The rig certainly seems to work fine. I just had Qso with CX2DDP [cw] in Uruguay with my puny screw

In the nov. 14, 2008 enchancements and Application notes applicable to this new kit, it states That " The headphone output of the K3, which uses a separate amplifier, already has a very low distortion output and is not impacted by these changes,"...Does this mean both the front panel and rear h

Re: [Elecraft] LP Pan versus P3 Panadapters

2010-09-14 Thread shwhafen
Hi Larry & all; I have not used Lp Pan so I cannot really make a comparison, but I have found that if the P3 ref level is set really low just at the noise level and if the span is set to narrow amounts that indeed very low level sigs can be seen. For example I hve been "seeing" the 20 meter b

[Elecraft] tx audio

2010-12-02 Thread shwhafen
Sri, I accidently sent the last unfinished letter. I presume the third -order intermodulation {IMD} should suggest the answer. Here i see that the Ft5000 is "better" than the K3, but only when the FT5000 is using class A modulation. One should expect lower IMD running Class A , right? Th
