I wonder if he is talking about QRN from storms, etc. or manmade QRN? I've heard this before. The K3's AGC pulse rejection feature is intended to improve performance in this area. Has anyone tried to quantify or describe this better? It would need to be done with an a/b comparison. It's not s

Thank you for posting K9OM's comment. FWIW I have a Perseus and two other receivers which both use H-Mode mixers, one of which uses a version of PA3AKE's H-Mode front end. With the Perseus used as a stand alone receiver, I have not experienced this "noise problem" in the presence of mild or qui

Thanks for your explanation, I had missed the point of RLVZ's comment. A related cause and I am speculating here without doing the calculations, when the noise is rough and signals are at or under the noise floor might be the added in-passband low level intermodulation products generated by a n

Would it be possible to add a function to the utility which creates a file which lists all the K3 settings and configurations and control settings when it is invoked? Something that could be cut and pasted into an email or attached? This would be useful for many problem resolve sessions. I'm thi

This is a huge undertaking, and the MCU config variables are a moving target. But it is (low) on my list of possible K3 Utility enhancements. Dick, K6KR Sent from my iPhone On Jul 14, 2010, at 12:41 PM, Guy Olinger K2AV wrote: > Would it be possible to add a function to the utility which crea

Regarding key clicks. I suspect this may vary considerably with the specific circumstances including the likelihood of considerable variations in the individual transmitter rise and fall times and and the roofing filter bandwidths. Last November, I think, I read a suggestion about blanking key
