Re: [Elecraft] P3 SVGA Self changing tracking mode

Hi Rick, This is a known issue and on the P3/SVGA bug list. Basically what is happening is that the SVGA does not follow the center frequency adjustment correctly. Most folks just use fixed tune mode instead of tracking mode with a movable center frequency. Kind regards, Paul -- View

Hello all, I'm seeing an issue on the SVGA side of the P3. In order to utilize the screen space more effectively I often use the CENTER control to shift my TX frequency to the left side up the display (when the DX is listening up) to show those calling on the right side of the display. [The

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Amplitude vs. K3S S-Meter

Perfectly normal. The K3(s) S-meter measures the total envelope power in whatever BW you have set. The P3 is a Fourier Transform with a multitude of "bins" across the horizontal axis, and what you see is the power in each of those bins. They sum to the same power as the K3 shows, but the P3

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Amplitude vs. K3S S-Meter

On SSB, the K3 S-meter measures the level of everything within the 2.7 kHz bandwidth. But on the P3, each display point only shows the power within a small fraction of 2.7 kHz. For a continuous CW signal, the K3 and the P3 should match. But for a signal that is spread out in frequency the K3

[Elecraft] P3 Amplitude vs. K3S S-Meter

Noticeable difference between the K3S S-Meter level and the displayed S-level on the P3. An S-9 signal on the K3S is seen as much less, maybe an S-3 on the P3. So its not REF LVL, not SPAN. What? David A., KC0XT, LA David Ahrendts davidahren...@me.com

Thanks, Paul. I just loaded the new beta to my P3 (no SVGA) and it all seems to be working well with K3 s/n 4668 with latest firmware. I don't have any way to check the new transmit monitor trigger level because the K3 is my sole HF rig. 73, Steve W4FMD On 8/19/2015 6:35 PM, Paul Saffren w

I accidentally put in the wrong file name in the BETA firmware download/install instructions. The file name you should download is: P3-0154_SVGA-0125.ZIP (it's the only file in the beta ftp directory) -Paul Paul Saffren - N6HZ Project Manager Elecraft Inc. www.elecraft.com

This release adds features and fixes some bugs with the P3TXMON accessory board.We're trying to get this firmware into general release as soon as possible so even if you don't have the P3TXMON, you can still help us by loading this new firmware in your P3/SVGA. Please email me directly (pau

Sorry for the somewhat off-topic post but this is the first time I have heard the Eico 720 mentioned in decades. I happen to have one if anyone is interested in buying it. Ted, W2ZK On 8/12/2015 11:06 PM, Wes (N7WS) wrote: Not if you're looking at an Eico 720. It will be difficult to identify

Not if you're looking at an Eico 720. It will be difficult to identify keying sidebands amongst the drift and chirp. On 8/12/2015 3:49 PM, Jim Brown wrote: On Wed,8/12/2015 3:39 PM, Merv Schweigert wrote: I think hes referring to improving the Eico 720 keying shape. Sorry, I missed that. :)

Re: [Elecraft] P3 TX Mon Usefulness?

Jim and all, I agree, the *best* way to look at keying is in the frequency domain, but for those who do not have that capability, the time domain keying waveshape can be beneficial. The P3 TX MON option does not show the frequency domain, but it can display the rise time and fall time of the
