Re: [Elecraft] K3 PSK31 with Digipan

It finally dawned on me that the 6kHz filter could be put to work for soundcard modes in both transmit and receive by enabling ESSB and using USB or LSB instead of DATA A. Indeed, it works just fine with BW set to 4kHz and shift adjusted to put center at 1800 or so. With DM 780 set to max width (3.

Bob, Receive should work, but transmit will not - I believe it is restricted in the firmware. 73, Don W3FPR Bob Cunnings wrote: Yes, many of us know all this, but it's still nice, under benign conditions, to operate using a wider waterfall for both transmit and receive. I often operated PSK

Users of narrow-band digital modes such as PSK31 need to remember the difference between transmit and receive in the way we perceive dynamic range. On transmit, a 10 dB difference is a factor of 10 in power. If your power meter only goes up to 5W when you were expecting 50W, you will likely percei

Steve, I would think that most users are aware that they are transmitting through the 2.7 kHz (or 2.8) filter - after all, they set it up that way in the menu (and if they did not, they would get a TX FL error message). So I should think that they would not expect to transmit an audio tone out

I have not noticed this with my K3, using both a cheap SoundBlaster audio card and an expensive E-MU card. My first suspicion would be something impeding the audio getting to the transmitter - K3 equalization, sound card equalization. Are you using the line in audio source? Check settings for

Just getting my new K3 working on PSK31 and noticed that it seems to be important to limit the range of the transmit frequency. Using Digipan and K3 Data A mode, if I select a transmit frequency on the waterfall that is too high or low, I will get very low (or zero) power output. It seems like one
