Re: [Elecraft] P3 question

To expand just a bit, when commanding a QSY from the N1MM+ entry window, the P3 seems to put that frequency in the center of the screen in fixed-tune mode placing the edges +/- 10 KHz from it. If I QSY to 14050or 14070, which are the center of a 20 KHz boundary, the right and left edges of the

Re: [Elecraft] P3 question

Thanks Alan. I just verified that this happens only when I QSY by typing a frequency into the N1MM+ entry window. Problem resolved. 73, Fred ("Skip") K6DGW Sparks NV USA Washoe County DM09dn On 5/27/2017 8:41 PM, Alan wrote: If N1MM changes the K3 VFO frequency, even temporarily, it could

Re: [Elecraft] P3 question

If N1MM changes the K3 VFO frequency, even temporarily, it could cause the P3 to reset its center frequency. To prevent that, you can set the P3's FixMode to "Static". Alan N1AL On 05/27/2017 04:01 PM, Fred Jensen wrote: I normally run a 20 KHz span, fixed-tune [I'm pretty much CW only] on

[Elecraft] P3 question

I normally run a 20 KHz span, fixed-tune [I'm pretty much CW only] on all bands. When operating manually, I almost never have to reset the centering to put the edges on 20 KHz boundaries. Playing around in WPXwith N1MM+, when I shut down and then turn the rig back on, it comes up on sort of

[Elecraft] P3 with other Radios

I have a P3 for both my K3S and another for a FT5000. With the 5000 you only get tracking mode and of course no integration of the point and shoot featureshowever it is the most straightforward and best panadapter solution i have tried or seen for the 5000. Particularly as I am mac based

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Will it work on other Radios

It works in tracking mode, but not fixed-tune mode. It also does not show the receiver VFO frequency or the IF bandwidth. But you can change the span, reference level and scale, use the markers, turn on averaging, set function keys, etc. As long as the radio has a wide-band IF output in the

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Will it work on other Radios

This is true, if the IF is in range. But there are some features that require communication between the radio and the P3. I think it may only work in tracking mode (not fixed mode). In any event, I would check this out in detail before buying one with the intention of using it with a radio

[Elecraft] P3 external touch screen

Hi With Field Day around the corner, I am planning to bring a larger LCD monitor than I use on my P3 SVGA when in my shack to enhance the visual experience of our guests. I have noticed that since last Field Day, the prices of touch screen monitors have fallen precipitously Our current

Re: [Elecraft] P3 VGA Question

Hi Doug, The P3/SVGA board does its own 2048 point FFT on IQ data that is passed down from the P3 front panel. The sampling rate is the same for either the P3's LCD display or the SVGA. There's also a bunch of black magic to take care of things like fixed tune and receive path gain

[Elecraft] P3 VGA Question

I know the resolution is better on a VGA monitor than on the original P3 display. I also know that the VGA monitor has more pixels in the horizontal dimension than the P3. However it is obvious to me that the digital processing for the VGA provides much better resolution than the P3. My
