Re: [Elecraft] PX3 with other I/Q Receiver?

Hi Tom, The image nulling procedure is built in the PX3. I did not run it in order not to alter these settings for the KX3 - I merely wanted to indicate that is is possible. I have the necessary signal generator to do so, that wasn't the reason not doing this... 73, Peter On 2015-01-28

I did, it works With a Softrock-RX for 30 metres. The LO is an xtal on 40.5 MHz that produces 10.125 MHz and that shows on the PX3 as 0Hz. The real problem comes with the need to recalibrate te I/Q phase and amplitude in order to have a good image rejection. On -25 kHz I see the DDK9

Hi Yes but can't you calibrate this out using a signal generator and the px3 calibration facility? Of course, it appears that the iq correction operates on only a single frequency and does not do frequency based corrections. I could be wrong about this though. One way to tell is to put a

Hi It would not work properly as is. I think one would need to send information to the px3 via the serial port to establish the centre frequency,  markers, and respond to qsy''s.etc. as well as react to requests coming from the px3. Assuming these are standard api type  commands it could be a

Has anyone used the PX3 Panadapter with a receiver that has I/Q outputs other than the KX3 such as the Softrock or ?? __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm
