Elecraft K3 Presets/Settings for JT65B / EME

Edward R Cole
I checked with WSJT9/JT-65B running the spectraJT waterfall:
I have no Rx EQ set up.

TX EQ for SSB is -16, -16, -9, 0, 0,+3,+6,+6
With USB I have display 500-Hz to 2800-Hz
With DATA I have display for 900-Hz to 3400-Hz

with no TX EQ:
USB  displays 250-2800 Hz
DATA displays 250-3400 Hz

 From this it appears TX EQ affects the audio passband in DATA., as
well as, SSB.

Cutting off the low freq below 900-Hz is a disadvantage for JT-65.

No, from that it appears that you have DATA configured for AFSK A and
not DATA A.  AFSK A shifts the passband to center on the MARK/SPACE
tones as defined by the MARK frequency - i.e., FC = (MARK+SPACE)/2

At 900-3400 Hz your FC is close to 2210 Hz which is FC for MARK=2125.

Re: Elecraft K3 Presets/Settings for JT65B / EME

Edward R Cole
OK, thanks.  I had not altered DATA-MD since the radio arrived from
Elecraft. I guess that was set-up default for AFSK A.

I also note that I found the WIDTH control was narrowed to 45bps in
LSB, so I opened it up as high as 4-KHz.  There is still roll off
below 200-Hz.  That is fine for me as I find some harmonics of 60-Hz
below this so its good to reject the bottom 200-Hz.  My FT-847
exhibits the same LF roll-off when connected thru my HB soundcard
I/F, yet strong eme signals can still be seen below that.

With FL1 selected (13-KHz) and WIDTH adjusted to 4-KHz, and DATA MD
showing DATA-A USB, I get 200-3550 Hz display in spectraJT waterfall
(JT-65B).  If I switch to FL2 (2.8-KHz rooofing filter) it narrows
down to 250-2800 Hz.

But the fun is that the K3 does not remember my settings as soon as I
select another frequency from memory (it puts DATA-A back into 45Bps
AFSK A LSB).

So now I will have to figure out how to get the K3 to remember my
settings, or forget using the K3 Freq Memory Editor for programming
the K3 memories.  I do not see anywhere in the Memory Editor for
setting up DATA MD.  I went thru my digital channels and DATA-A is
randomly either DATA-A USB or DATA-A AFSK LSB.

73, Ed

Ed, what is your firmware version?  One of the reasons for DATA A was
to remove SSB features that were inappropriate for data modes.

Re: Elecraft K3 Presets/Settings for JT65B / EME

Edward R Cole
I believe I am running 4.33 (what shows in CONFIG).

What we want for WSJT modes is full bw, totally flat freq.
response.  If I could get 13-KHz it would be great for JT-65 but it
appears the K3 DSP limits audio out to about 4-KHz except in AM or FM
modes (which are useless for soundcard programs).
---------------------
BTW no one has answered my question how to set DATA-A modes when
using the K3 Memory Editor.  I seem to get random settings when I
chose DATA-A with the Editor.  I want it to default to DATA-A USB for
use of most soundcard sw.

I can manually change this with DATA MD key but the change is not
saved and it reverts to whatever Memory Editor chose if I change
frequency by selecting memory channels.

Re: Elecraft K3 Presets/Settings for JT65B / EME

Richard Ferch
In reply to this post by Edward R Cole
Ed,

If I remember correctly, when a DATA mode frequency memory is stored in
the K3 the data sub-mode is remembered as part of the information stored
at the time the memory is created. For example, if your K3 data sub-mode
happened to be AFSK-A at the time the memory was stored, I believe the
sub-mode will be restored to AFSK-A every time you recall that memory. If
this is correct, the way to get it to remember the DATA-A sub-mode would
be to delete your existing DATA mode memories and re-create them from
scratch with the radio in DATA-A sub-mode.

As I understand it, the K3's audio output is cut off at 4.2 kHz in all
modes, including AM and FM, regardless of which IF filter is selected.
Assuming no EQ is applied (EQ is disabled in DATA modes), the output audio
response will be nominally flat between approx. 200 Hz and 4.2 kHz,
subject to IF filtering and the SHIFT and WIDTH DSP control settings. If
your widest IF filter is 2.8 kHz, then your maximum nominally flat audio
bw in SSB-based modes (including DATA-A as well as USB) will be 2.8 kHz,
although you can use the SHIFT control to shift the audio passband within
the overall 0.2 - 4.2 kHz audio window. Note also that even if you have a
wider IF filter that is enabled in DATA modes, the wider bandwidth it
provides will only apply during receive - your transmit bandwidth will
still be limited by the 2.7 or 2.8 kHz transmit IF filter.

73,
Rich VE3KI

Re: Elecraft K3 Presets/Settings for JT65B / EME

Guy, K2AV
In reply to this post by Edward R Cole
I don't understand why you want 13 kHz for JT65.

The system requirements from their webpage are

System Requirements
• SSB transceiver and antenna for one or more VHF/UHF bands
• Computer running the Microsoft Windows, Linux, or FreeBSD operating
system
• 800 MHz or faster CPU and 128 MB of available RAM
• Monitor with at least 800 x 600 resolution (more is better)
• Sound card supported by your operating system
• Computer-to-radio interface using a serial port to key your PTT line.  Linux
and FreeBSD versions can also use a parallel port.
• Audio connections between transceiver and sound card
• A means for synchronizing your computer clock to UT

None of this even remotely indicates 13 kHz needed for operation. The
signal seems to be only 400-500 Hz wide.   So if anything it indicates
that the data A mode on a K3 should be ideal. Using a 6 kHz filter for
SSB would give you 4.5 kHz bandwidth on a K3, or eight to ten signals.
 What gives?

4.39 is the current production.  Some number of changes since 4.33

Stations looking for JT-65 QSOs tune to a central calling frequency, which
is on a menu in the program's main panel. Then they transmit somewhere
within a window centered on that calling frequency. The width of that window
is displayed on the JT-65 screen; it's only 2 khz wide, and in my experience
just about all the signals appear within +/- 500 khz of the center. The
standard 2.7 filter is plenty.

Re: Elecraft K3 Presets/Settings for JT65B / EME

Edward R Cole
In reply to this post by Edward R Cole
Rich,

Thanks for the explanation for setting DATA-A.  I will try that.  It
is strange that some frequencies have AFSK-A while others have USB
under DATA-A?  But I will not waste effort trying to understand how
that happened.  I want the wide-band submode for every instance of
DATA-A.  So I will take my saved editor file and delete all the
DATA-A Channels and write that to the K3, then ensure that DATA MD is
properly set, fill the memories back in that I want DATA-A.  That is
about 15 channels.

Regarding the limit of audio bandwidth...sigh!  I ordered two 13-KHz
filters for both receivers in anticipation that it would pass the
full bw in SSB if the filter was programmed for that.  I did not
anticipate that it would be limited in audio stages.  I did not need
to receive FM in both receivers so that was wasted expense since bw
can be opened to 4.2 KHz with the 2.8 KHz filter.

Of course, I have added two LP-Pan to the K3 main and sub receivers
that passes full bw of the first IF before the roofing filters, so I
can accomplish what I want to do which is to run MAP-65 at 96-KHz
bw.  Running MAP-65 from the K3 audio using a soundcard would only
allow 4-KHz to be sampled and not really worth doing.  Of course
JT-65, WSPR, and other programs in the WSJT suite can be run on
ordinary audio thru a soundcard.

It looks like running any external sw with the K3 will require adding
a SDR to the 1st IF (LP-Pan, SDR-IQ, soft-rock, etc.).  The P3 is
expected to permit exporting I-Q data at some future time so those
acquiring the P3 will eventually be able to run external sw, as
well.  One of the most powerful programs for working weak-signals is
Linrad, but it requires I-Q input.

Ed,

If I remember correctly, when a DATA mode frequency memory is stored in
the K3 the data sub-mode is remembered as part of the information stored
at the time the memory is created. For example, if your K3 data sub-mode
happened to be AFSK-A at the time the memory was stored, I believe the
sub-mode will be restored to AFSK-A every time you recall that memory. If
this is correct, the way to get it to remember the DATA-A sub-mode would
be to delete your existing DATA mode memories and re-create them from
scratch with the radio in DATA-A sub-mode.

As I understand it, the K3's audio output is cut off at 4.2 kHz in all
modes, including AM and FM, regardless of which IF filter is selected.
Assuming no EQ is applied (EQ is disabled in DATA modes), the output audio
response will be nominally flat between approx. 200 Hz and 4.2 kHz,
subject to IF filtering and the SHIFT and WIDTH DSP control settings. If
your widest IF filter is 2.8 kHz, then your maximum nominally flat audio
bw in SSB-based modes (including DATA-A as well as USB) will be 2.8 kHz,
although you can use the SHIFT control to shift the audio passband within
the overall 0.2 - 4.2 kHz audio window. Note also that even if you have a
wider IF filter that is enabled in DATA modes, the wider bandwidth it
provides will only apply during receive - your transmit bandwidth will
still be limited by the 2.7 or 2.8 kHz transmit IF filter.

73,
Rich VE3KI

Is this true? That would be splendid. I'm using LP-Pan, but I have a P3 that
I might resuscitate if it exported I-Q.
