6 khz cw question
Locked
 
|
I understand how to use the menus. Let me restate.
The problem is....When you do have the 6 khz filter engaged for cw, your DSP filter won't go wider than 2.8 therefore you can't listen to 6 khz bandwidth. What's up with that? It works find in SSB mode but not CW..

Right now, I believe that the firmware does not allow the CW bandwidth
to exceed 2.8 KHz in RX. This may be changed in future firmware upgrades. 73, Ken K3IU n4lq wrote: > I understand how to use the menus.

Oh yes...I want to hear as much bandwidth as possible partly because it's my
temporary cure for no bandscope and partly because I just like a wide open sound when working around the shack. The sound of QRN and all the cw signals is more relaxing than listening anything I know of, shrill pitches included! I see no reason for Elecraft to have deliberately restricted the bandwidth in CW mode only.

Not just cw Steve - ssb rx bandwidth adjustment is currently restricted to 4Khz max. It's likely that these bandwidth restrictions will be opened up in future firmware (really). 73, Barry N1EU |

I find the radio on a pleasure even though I pay no attention. I use the K2
all day long. IF a cw sig pops up on right on freq., e.g., 7.035, then I will work the station (if I can QRS to ~ 15 wpm). 72, Bill K9YEQ K2 #35, K2 # 5279, KX1 #35, Mini Modules, etc. -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of n4lq Sent: Saturday, April 12, 2008 3:51 PM To: [hidden email] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] 6 khz cw question Oh yes...I want to hear as much bandwidth as possible partly because it's my temporary cure for no bandscope and partly because I just like a wide open s..... _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Why do you want a 6kHz bandwidth in CW? Most of us would find listening to CW with a pitch of that pretty well impossible. Or maybe you are using it with your PC soundcard with programs like CW Skimmer? (of which I have strong views which I won't repeat here...). Here I never use a filter any wider than 400Hz on CW, except very occasionally 1kHz in contests so I here people calling off channel. In normal use there really is no need for anything wider. 73 Dave G3YMC |

Dave,
Listening 6 kHz wide is fine if you listen up to 3 kHz UP AND DOWN your frequency. (So you might have a station on zero beat freq, who cares) Being an ex R/O used to listening on 500 kHz, this was normal operation. 73 Arie PA3A ----------------- Why do you want a 6kHz bandwidth in CW?

Why do you want a bandwidth of 2.7khz then? Most of us would also find listening to CW with that pitch impossible or annoying. You're missing the point here. We open up bandwidth so we can hear things. I would hate to tune around the band with a 400Hz filter. The point here is, a 6kHz crystal is install and selectable from the XFL menu so why does it tandem the 2.8kHz DSP? That is simply a bug and hopefully it will be fixed soon.
