The firmware currently being tested does FM (w/CTCSS encode, repeater splits, etc.) and has wider AM receive bandwidth. It has better low frequency SSB response, better ALC, and a number of other enhancements. AM-Sync is further down the list, but it *is* on the list. 73, Lyle KK7P _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

I just hope that "bug fixes" come above everything else on the
list. 73 Stewart G3RXQ On Fri, 18 Apr 2008 09:21:47 -0700, Lyle Johnson wrote: >> This hobby is not only for CW and SSB ops.

I hope bug fixes are prioritized appropriately on the list and many lower priority bug fixes not addressed until options like the KRX3 are released. 73, Ed - W0YK _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

I tried something last night that may be of interest to some CW ops.
Although most of us are always in search of ways to narrow CW bandwidth, there are times when listening to CW is made more enjoyable when the receiver is allowed to open up a bit, especially with AFX activated. In order to engage in wideband CW reception with the wider crystal and DSP filters, press SPLIT, then A=>B. Set VFO A for either LSB or USB. Then, set VFO B to CW. Next, press and hold the SUB button to link VFO A with VFO B. The CW offset can be made to match the sidetone frequency by setting VFO A and B to slightly different frequencies (difference being the side-tone frequency). I stored my settings into memory so I don't have to go through all the gyrations next time. With this approach, the rig is transmitting CW on VFO B, but listening in either LSB or USB on VFO A. It's important to set the Rx frequency on VFO A up by the offset amount (e.g., 600 Hz) for CW LSB receive, and down by the offset amount for CW USB receive. My tests show that QSK performance remains super-fast and is not affected with this procedure.

I'm still waiting for my K3, but...
I guess from the fact that you went through these gyrations means that one can't simply set the roofing filtering selection on "auto" and dial in a DSP width of 2700 Hz., e.g., or whatever with a K3 and have the 2700 Hz. SSB filter as the roofing filter; like I can with my Orion? What am I missing? 73 - John, W4AU At 04:56 PM 4/20/2008, you wrote: >I tried something last night that may be of interest to some CW ops. >Although most of us are always in search of ways to narrow CW bandwidth, >there are times when listening to CW is made more enjoyable when the >receiver is allowed to open up a bit, especially with AFX activated. > >In order to engage in wideband CW reception with the wider crystal and DSP >filters, press SPLIT, then A=>B.

Yes, you can - just as you do with your Orion. Sometimes I open it up
to 1500 Hz or so in CW mode when I'm tuning around the band.

John,
I have only the stock 2.7k filter in my K3, and in either CW or SSB mode, I can dial a bandwidth in excess of 2.8 kHz. It should work the same way even if the narrow filters are installed - the filter selected automatically follows the DSP bandwidth. 73, Don W3FPR John Unger wrote: > I'm still waiting for my K3, but... > > I guess from the fact that you went through these gyrations means that > one can't simply set the roofing filtering selection on "auto" and > dial in a DSP width of 2700 Hz., e.g., or whatever with a K3 and have > the 2700 Hz.
