K3 BC Reception

[Michael Raskin]

Just curious:  is anyone using the KBPF3 (general coverage receive module) in BOTH main and sub-receivers for diversity reception?

Yes, It works quite well.  I've been using an 80m f/w loop here.

What we really need for SWBC (and ham AM) is the long promised and as  
yet undelivered SAM detector.  Perhaps if enough people ask for it it  
will eventually make it to the lower priority feature list applicable  
to the non-contest user group.  I'm getting a bit concerned that the  
next version of the manual will just delete all references and make it  
go away.  I haven't heard any rumors about it being a part of the  
coming firmware update ... so I guess it is still just in the dregs at  
the bottom of the bucket  :-(

May I add a tiny voice in support of synchronous AM detection, too.  

I prefer to listen to a new BC station while I'm building stuff and SAM would improve the experience.  

Does anyone receive/listen to DRM (digital radio mondiale?

Before we get synchronous AM receive we need the ability to
transmit AM and ESSB using the FM (13 KHz) filter.  That would
avoid the need to tie up two slots with both the FM (13 KHz)
and AM (6 KHz) filters.  I've checked both AM transmit through
the 13 KHz filter (calling in 6 KHz in the filter configuration)
using the SDR-IQ as a spectrum analyzer and receive (with AGC
off) 30 KHz away from a 50 KW (daytime) AM station only two
miles from me and there are no detectable transmit or receive
image issues.

David,

My Perseus SDR has both SAM and DRM capability, but I have not tried ( keep
forgeting) to listen to a station using DRM. Its SAM works well.

If of any use to you, I can try the DRM feature when my Perseus is not tied
up doing something else, and report back later.

73,
Geoff

I don't share your view, but then that's part of the problem -- we  
have 3000+  guys with all different sets of priorities, all trying to  
do what we can to get OUR priorities taken care of ...
