K3-Zerobeat and sidetone
Locked
 
|
If the sidetone in the K3 is adjusted to a value other than default(which is ?),
is the offset adjusted along with it? Does one need to realign anything if the sidetone frequency is adjusted? What indication(s) does the K3 provide for zerobeat? thanks 73 - k3hrn Thom,EIEIO Email, Internet, Electronic Information Officer www.baltimorehon.com/ Home of the Baltimore Lexicon www.tlchost.net/hosting/ Web Hosting as low as 3.49/month _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Nope - the filters come along for the ride - free of charge. > What indication(s) does the K3 provide for zerobeat? You can press the SPOT button and hear the offset tone while tuning in the station. You can enable the CWT feature - which gives an indication of the beat not with respect to zero beat. In this mode - pressing the SPOT button will enable the AUTO SPOT feature - and the radio will tune in the station automatically.

Unlike the K2, the sidetone pitch and filter center frequency are adjusted together, with one knob. There's nothing to realign. > What indication(s) does the K3 provide for zerobeat? You can press SPOT and hear the sidetone as in the K2, you can use the manual CW tuning feature in which you center a little dot on the display, or you can use the automatic CW tuning feature in which you press SPOT and it tunes the signal in for you! The CW tuning indicator also works for RTTY and PSK -- I don't know if the automatic tuning does, and I'm not near my radio to try it; but someone else will chime in. -- 73, Vic, K2VCO Fresno CA http://www.qsl.net/k2vco _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

No - you just hear the desired offset tone and you tune in the station to match it.

But when you use the Auto-Spot function you do hear the tone as it tunes.

Sounds like you're asking about an AFC, like what's used with soundcard programs.
Interesting idea. It does not do that at present but will pass the thought on to Wayne and Co. ------------------------- 73, Greg - AB7R Whidbey Island WA NA-065 On Tue Sep 25 16:11 , Thom LaCosta sent: >On Tue, 25 Sep 2007 [hidden email] wrote: > >> But when you use the Auto-Spot function you do hear the tone as it tunes. > >Ah...a throw-back sound to first having a vfo...probably spent more time >zerobeating the guy than sending his call. > >If autospot is on, does the K3 follow a drifting signal...or is it a one-shot >kind of operation that would have to be initiated again? > >thanks > >73 - k3hrn >Thom,EIEIO >Email, Internet, Electronic Information Officer > >www.baltimorehon.com/ Home of the Baltimore Lexicon >www.tlchost.net/hosting/ Web Hosting as low as 3.49/month _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Once you push [SPOT], and the K3 has initially zeroed the received signal, if HE moves, you must press [SPOT] again to readjust to his new freq. 73, Tom N0SS _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
