Re: [Elecraft] IF out of 2nd Receiver in K3?

I am using Rocky with my KX3 I/Q output and it works VERY well. I should also point out that the latest version 3.32 will decode CW and PSK31 signals !!! I had to use a laptop with a stereo input USB sound card ($15 from Amazon) and it gives me 96Khz of bandwidth. The reason for the laptop

Guys, Before trashing this, one actually needs to use it as I have for years. I've used it with the ROCKY (free) panadapter program and SKIMMER ($75) cw decode program. You do need an SDR and available sound card to use them. ROCKY is a bare bones spectrum display. It can be sized and

There is no official Elecraft modification to access the sub-receiver IF output, but they do have some information on the web site about others have done it: http://www.elecraft.com/K3/K3FAQ.htm#sub%20rx%20if Alan N1AL On 01/28/2015 10:39 AM, Doug Ellmore wrote: Is there a way to get the

As best I remember, though, the P3 talks only to the main receiver ... right? I believe that anyone wanting to display the sub-receiver would have to use a different panadapter scheme if they want handshaking capability such as frequency information, point/click QSY, etc. The N2QT

Right, the P3 would work only in tracking mode (no fixed-tune mode) and the sub receiver frequency and receiver bandwidth would not display on the P3. Also, click-to-QSY would not work and the reference level would not be correct. But you can still change the span, offset the center

Hi That assumes one is using a p3. A software panadapter would work fine except that there would no way to get the if shift from the sub since that command doesn't exist.  It could still be done but it would be a bit of a hack. Tom va2fsq.com On Jan 28, 2015 8:20 PM, Alan n...@sonic.net wrote:

Harry, While its a nice idea there are a couple of commands missing in the api to allow this to be done properly. If all you are interested is seeing the spectrum and doing qsys it probably is possible. But to do the job semi-correctly you would need some customized code to do so. Tom

Thank you I already have the Clifton labs Buffer amp and a softrock lite that I was got a while ago. It would be interesting if a Second P3 could be hooked up,I suspect it would have to be coded for the P3 to know what VFO  it is looking at. I'll have to look into if someone already has written

Doug, Its not difficult if you do not mind soldering a disc ceramic cap to the subreceiver board and running some RG-174. I outlined how I did that on my webpage: http://www.kl7uw.com/LINRAD.htm Scroll down the page until you come to the heading: Connecting K3 Sub-Receiver IF to LP-Pan:

Is there a way to get the IF out of the optional 2nd receiver of a K3? In addition to looking at two different bands in HF, I am thinking it would be great to be able to look at both 6m and 2m for field day with one K3. Doug NA1DX na...@arrl.net www.ellmore.net/na1dx
