Re: [Elecraft] K3s IF bandwidth?

Jim, The IF takeoff point in the K3 is right after the 8.215mHz mixer, so at that point, it has a very wide bandwidth. The K3 filtering is after that IF takeoff point, so any filtering in the K3 will not affect that bandwidth. I don't know how much wider than 200kHz the IF takeoff might be. 2

HiIf you connect an sdrplay to the if output you can see over  2mhz bandwidth.  73 Tom  Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone. Original message From: Don Wilhelm Date: 2017-12-25 12:31 PM (GMT-05:00) To: Jim Miller , Elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3s IF

Hi all and Merry Christmas, Well, the ham band specific HF filters are probably significantly narrower than 2MHz, tailored to the actual width of the band in question. I don't know if there is a way to tell the K3(S) to use a general coverage filter, if installed, even if inside a ham band. That w

I could be wrong, but I thought they were low pass filters, not band pass.  I think each filter even covers more than one band if they are within an octave or something like that. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong. Dave   AB7E On 12/25/2017 11:10 AM, ab2tc wrote: Hi all and Merry Ch

Hi again, Heavens no, they are definitely bandpass filters, tailored to each ham band. I think I have seen a plot of their responses somewhere, but can't remember where. Each filter covers 2 bands with a relay to choose which one of the two. AB2TC - Knut David Gilbert wrote > I could be wrong,

Yes, they are bandpass filters, to reject the image 16 MHz from the desired frequency, among other things.  There are, of course, also low pass filters, to reduce transmitted harmonics. 73, Scott K9MA On 12/25/2017 16:27, ab2tc wrote: Hi again, Heavens no, they are definitely bandpass filter

It's as wide as the bandwidth of the BPF ahead of the 1st mixer.  There are several BPF's for the various bands and their BW no doubt varies, but is likely much larger than 200 KHz. 73, Fred ["Skip"] K6DGW Sparks NV DM09dn Washoe County On 12/25/2017 9:17 AM, Jim Miller wrote: The P3 display
