Re: [Elecraft] Update to KSYN3A FAQ (some measured dynamic range numbers)

That's a far ways from -89 dB that you quote. The ARRL review in the April 2008 issue of the K3/10 showed reciprocal mixing as -95 dBc at 2 kHz spacing. The ARRL review in the Jan 2009 issue of the K3/100 showed reciprocal mixing as -86 dBc at 2 kHz spacing. This is the same lab. Dunno

[Elecraft] Update on a Question About the P3 SVGA and Mac Computers

A week or two ago I posted this question: Would it be possible to have the P3's SVGA output displayed on the screen of a MacAir computer, and have a logging program resident on the same computer, and be able to toggle between the two with a simple computer keyboard stroke? Neat trick for

Re: [Elecraft] Update on a Question About the P3 SVGA and Mac Computers

I don't know what a MacAir is, I've pretty much managed to avoid the iWorld. I can tell you about the Raspberry Pi [and others] however. Raspberry Pi [and Beagle Bone, and several others] are tiny little processor boards with weird names that run some flavor of LINUX, and thus will run

Re: [Elecraft] Update on a Question About the P3 SVGA and Mac Computers

The Mac Air is a laptop. properly known as a MacBook Air. It's the 'netbook' variant of the laptops. As Far as I know, there is no way to use the internal display of a MacBook to display anything other than the OS or an application. That applies to anything with a display in it that Apple makes.

Re: [Elecraft] Update on a Question About the P3 SVGA and Mac Computers

Although Raspberry Pi is indeed a Linux system, the cpu is not Intel so any of the software that is available for Linux must be built from sources on the Raspberry Pi system (unless it is provided by rPI's distro). Not every ham radio operator is equipped to build large complicated

Re: [Elecraft] Update on a Question About the P3 SVGA and Mac Computers

sigh This is not a difficult problem to solve. First off, the MacBook Air is _not_ a netbook. Netbooks are defined by their low-power processors (typically Intel Atoms). The MacBook Air has a full multi-core Intel I5 processor, which means it can do real work. The best way to approach this is

Re: [Elecraft] Update, re K3 loss of RX sensitivity

Hi Jim, I have a K3 that developed a similar problem: My K3 was build by Elecraft in 2011 with the only extras added by myself later being the KXV3A transverter interface, some CW filter and the KDVR3 voice recorder. I have been using it perhaps once or twice each month only as IF unit for a 2 m

Re: [Elecraft] Update Status

Bob, You will not have to relearn the menu even with complete firmware upgrades. Things do not change THAT much. Sometimes a new function is added, but you don't have to use it unless it interests you. Added functions rarely change the operation unless you encounter that new function in
