Re: [Elecraft] K3: DSP Bandwidth Limit

Jim, It is important to realize that the K3 bandwith is equal to the audio bandwidth. The K3 reports the audio bandwidth. A K3 with a 6 kHz filter is limited to a maximum of 3 kHz audio because an AM signal is double sideband and the IF bandwidth for the AM signal must be twice the audio freq

OK, I think I read something into Joe's post that wasn't really there, that's how I thought it worked and I I think Joe was referring to the DSB BW at the 15 kHz 2nd IF.  Enjoy the GC, we stayed in a cabin maybe 50 meters from the edge ... awesome! 73, Fred ["Skip"] K6DGW Sparks NV DM09dn Wash

Joe, I think the confusion might come in with the typo -> A 5 KHz *audio* bandwidth would be equivalent to a 10 Hz RF (IF) Should be -> A 5 KHz *audio* bandwidth would be equivalent to a 10 KHz RF (IF) 73, Bill WE5P > > On Dec 13, 2019 at 15:31, Joe Subich,

Fred, The audio CODECs in the K3 have a 12 kHz sample rate. This puts the maximum audio bandwidth at 6 kHz. Practical limits of DSP filtering in the context of the K3 implementation limit audio to 4.5 kHz or so. Aliasing around the 12 kHz sample rate of the CODECs required that “brick wall”
