K3 ESSB/SSB firmware corrected; Beta revision now 2.32

wayne burdick

Well, this is why we do beta test....

Revision 2.32, now on our web site, corrects a major problem we
introduced in rev 2.31 and somehow didn't catch during our own testing.
ESSB should once again be functional, and LSB/USB balance in both
normal SSB and ESSB should be improved.

Also note that we're planning to further improve the ESSB passband in
future revisions. At present when you select 4.0 kHz, for example, you
might get a -3 dB cutoff of around 3700 Hz. While this is much wider
than normal SSB, we think we can extend it.

I still see a large difference in LSB vs. USB when ESSB is ON. Which
sideband is strongest varies by band. LSB is about 50% weaker than USB on 40
meters. Turning ESSB OFF cures the problem but my audio reports are far
better with it ON.
Is there anything I can do on this end or should I wait for firmware
changes. I just want to know if this is normal.

Wide CW RX issue in 2.32 firmware

Leigh L. Klotz Jr WA5ZNU
Administrator
In reply to this post by wayne burdick
With 2.32, CW mode doesn't seem to have the correct bandwidth above
1KHz, which is my 2nd-widest filter.
LSB mode provides good bandwidth at 2.8Khz, but in CW mode, it doesn't
offer that same result at 2.8Khz.
I thought perhaps the issue was the center frequency of 600Hz vs 1.5Khz,
and perhaps it is, but when I shift the CW center frequency, I don't get
any more bandwidth.  Furthermore, the audio sounds markedly different
when I veer off of 600Hz center by even 50Hz, as if it's selecting a
different  xtal filter or something.

If this isn't "as designed" and you can't reproduce this please let me
know and I'll provide .wav file recordings for you to examine on a
spectrum scope.

73 es TNX,
Leigh/WA5ZNU K3#51 recent ECOs for HAGC and CW waveshape
