[Elecraft] PX3 and KX3 tuning noise

2015-06-16 Thread GDR
While tuning the KX3 I've noticed the noise floor jump up on the PX3. Seems to do it on all bands. Is this normal? Anyone have any idea about when fixed mode tuning will be issued in non beta form? __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http:

The RX noise floor in the K3 is not likely changing in this case. If you are using signal averaging on the PX3, the average resets each time you change frequency. As a result the noise floor will be non-averaged during continuous tuning and appear higher. Once you stop it will average over the n

Right. If you are in fixed-tune mode the averaging does not reset except when the VFO runs off the edge of the screen. In tracking mode the averaging resets every time the VFO moves more than about one pixel on the display. Alan N1AL On 06/16/2015 12:07 PM, Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft w
