K3 - IF out - again

hf4me
Subject: [Elecraft] K3 - IF out


Next stupid question,

What is the output level of the IF out on the transverter KXV3 option?
Do I have to turn on something to get it to activate?

I am trying to connect a K3 Softrock V6.2 to use as a panadapter and cannot
see any output on my scope (techtronics 475) from the IF output connector on
the K3.

Thanks es 73, de Jim KG0KP

The level is very low, you are unlikely to see it on a scope, it can be
seen on a spectrum analyser.

I've provided a lengthy study of the K3's IF output port at

Thanks Dave, Jack and Jerry,

I've got some reading to do.  I am not getting any signal out of the chip
that clocks in the IF signal and drives the signal to the sound card.

Jerry Flanders
If you have another receiver handy that can tune 8.2 MHz, use it to
sniff at the K3 IF out. I think the signals are in the microvolt range.
