Re: [Elecraft] Setting shift for different filters?

Don, thanks; my ears are worse than normal, not better, so not a problem, just ab observation. And I finally got it worked out how to use the Norm settings, so all is well now. It seems I am still learning my way around my K3, and will be for some time; it keeps amazing me at how versatile an

Dave, A 50 Hz difference will not make a significant difference in the received audio unless you have greater than average ears. You can "preserve the setting using the Norm I and Norm2 settings, but for the most part, I just use the Lo-Cut and Hi-Cut knobs to dial in what is best for the curre

David, OK, I have perhaps ignored the subtle points - in some cases, you will have 50 Hz rounding and in other cases, you will have 100 Hz rounding - that makes little difference. 50 Hz to a SSB low frequency response does not make much difference. n 2/29/2012 9:16 PM, David F. Reed wrote: >

hold SHIFT knob til you see <- NORM -> if you turn the WIDTH knob to an odd number 2.5 2.7 2.9 3.1 etc tap SHIFT or WIDTH knob so the LOW and HI leds comes on if you turn the SHIFT or WIDTH knob you will see LO .05 .15 .25 etc now again hold SHIFT knob til you see <- NORM -> this time turn knob

Don, thanks for the reply. 1. when I try using the Lo-Cut, it seems to be confined to 100 Hz increments, so, 150, 250, 350, but no 200, 300, or 100 available; is there a way to set that differently? 2. I can accomplish the same thing either way if I understand what is going on, but

Dave, Yes, the default is 1500 Hz. with a 2.8 kHz filter, that puts the low end at 200 Hz and the high end at 2900 Hz. AND that is why you should be using the Hi-Cut, Lo-Cut on SSB instead of Shift and Width. For good intelligibility, you need to have some content in the 300 Hz range, so set

2012-02-29 Thread David F. Reed
I note that as expected, the center frequency of the bandpass of any given filter on SSB seems to be 1.5 KHz, whether its the 6 KHz filter, the 2.7 KHz filter or the 2.1 KHz filter. This seems to work out to be passing from 150 Hz to 2.85 KHz, right? So the 2.1 KHz filter (without using the shif
