[Elecraft] K1: Potential new product?

2008-01-09 Thread Matt Kastigar
Any thought to a 'KDSP1', an add-in DSP noise processor for the K1? I like the small size, four bands, antenna tuner but it needs better noise reduction! Can the KDSP2 be 'adapted' to the K1? Thanks, -Matt W0XEU ___ Elecraft mailing list

To have a DSP Noice Reduction and AF-filter in K1 you might put this Low Power Board inside K1: http://www.sgcworld.com/ADSPProductPage.html Benny oh9nb ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to

I think it would be a hard sell for me. Going from 55ma to 135ma - about 145% increase in current drain on receive. It may be good at home but looks like it would eat batteries for field use. If the DSP can be done at a much lower current it would be an interesting idea. 73 John -- John D Y

This SGC page has links to 3 different reviews about ADSP2 -RadCom 11/03 -QST 01/04 -CQ May/04 I agree that 80mA is much compared to K1`s own 55mA. Elecraft KDSP2 takes 60mA (10mA in standby) and might not go in K1. Maybe an external unit is better. It can be left at home with

I'll take one! Maybe we also need a K1 RTTY module /// Original message: Any thought to a 'KDSP1', an add-in DSP noise processor for the K1? I like the small size, four bands, antenna tuner but it needs better noise reduction! Can the KDSP2 be 'adapted' to the K1? ___

Hi, Besides the "current" issue, has anyone used this device? My limited experience with audio DSP's (GAP's "Hear It" inline module) is that they work reasonably well for moderate to strong signals. But, when you get into the low signal strength area and high noise, the seem to "cut out" p

All: MANY responses - most like the idea, but do not like the additional current draw. For a KX1, the current should be nil (if possible!); for the K1 (and K2 and K3), I (me-own-self) am willing to 'take the hit' of a few more mA. If it is an *option* (like the KDSP2), you can add it - or not

I have a W9GR audio DSP kit that I built years ago. To give you an idea how long ago, it uses a TI TMS320C10 DSP! (The invoice is dated 9/16/92.) Despite that, and despite the fact that it uses only 8-bit digitization, it works amazingly well. I found the LMS noise reduction works great on sign

If a really low power DSP could be made for the K1 and/or KX1 - say, one that consumes 10 to 15 mA from a nominal 6V supply, less from a higher voltage - which features would you be seeking? Selectable bandpass filters? Auonotch? Denoiser? Which would you be wiling to give up? No, there is
