I am in agreement with all of the above about the narrow filter capabilities of the K3 which I considered a given when I made my original post. I have also considered the panadapter solution but that would complicate matters to a degree. I probably live in a quieter radio environment than many ha

Dave, Thank you very much for the prompt response and testing of this for me. Once generally known, this ability to operate PSK31 in ESSB with click and transmit across a 3.5 kHz waterfall would I think make the K3 even more attractive to data mode operators than it already is. It would probably

Bill, testing on PSK31 TX, using USB and ESSB set to 4 KHz, centre freq at 1500 Hz (normal K3 DSP setting)... I can obtain full power from 300 Hz to 3500 Hz on the waterfall, the power drops off abruptly above 3500 Hz. By moving the centre frequency to 2000 Hz I can transmit up to 3700 Hz. On Data

I've just checked my K3 and DM780, I have the 6 KHz "AM" filter. The bandwidth appears to go to 4 KHz on the ESSB menu setting, but in fact the waterfall in DM780 only shows audio out to 3.5 KHz bandwidth on receive. I can move the centre frequency of the DSP filter to 2 KHz (normally it is 1.5 KHz

I presently operate my K2/100 in PSK31 data mode with a 2.8 kHz wide waterfall on the DM780 Superbrowser. I can click and transmit from about 600 Hz to about 1600 Hz on the Superbrowser waterfall without too much attenuation of the transmitted signal. I made this determination using a field strengt
