Hey Folks,
I'm planning a serious effort for CQWW SSB in October and would like to record the entire contest digitally to my laptop (not the logging computer, a different one). I'd like to also include in the recording the monitor audio on XMIT, is this possible? If anyone has had any great success with any particular computer recording software, I'd love to hear about that, too. My plan is to just run the LINE-OUT from the K3 to my MIC-IN on my laptop, and adjust MIC levels until I have something that doesn't distort. Any words of wisdom or success stories are welcome... Thanks! Jeff N6GQ _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.

When you record both XMT and RCV audio the level is controlled by the AF
Gain control on the K3 rather than a fixed level output. To keep from distorting on the laptop you have to keep from turning the AF Gain up too high, which can cause distortion on the laptop. This can make it difficult to copy weak stations on the air. I have used Writelog and N1MM to test this. But if the laptop is independent of the logging PC you could use Audacity - a free audio program. 73 Hank K8DD ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Kinzli N6GQ" <[hidden email]> To: "Elecraft Reflector" <[hidden email]> Sent: Friday, August 15, 2008 8:43 PM Subject: [Elecraft] K3 and recording SSB > Hey Folks, > > I'm planning a serious effort for CQWW SSB in October and would like > to record the entire contest digitally to my laptop (not the logging > computer, a different one).

Jeff,
For recording software, I suggest Total Recorder (www.highcriteria.com) for recording ease. It is not free, but is budget priced and does the task well. If you are looking for something free, I suggest you look at Audacity from www.sourceforge.net - it is a great audio editor and is open source and multi-platform. I record with Total Recorder and edit with Audacity myself. 73, Don W3FPR Jeff Kinzli N6GQ wrote: > Hey Folks, > > I'm planning a serious effort for CQWW SSB in October and would like > to record the entire contest digitally to my laptop (not the logging > computer, a different one).

Thanks guys...I have Audacity, and that's what I was thinking of using
unless someone had a better idea. I'm still wondering if there's a way to get the monitor audio out the line-out output from the rear. It would be there out the headphone jack but as K8DD pointed out, that is going to be controlled by the AF Gain, which isn't optimal.

He didn't say that you couldn't get the monitor audio from the line
out output - only that if you do so (by setting LIN OUT to "=PHONES") the level is controlled by the AF gain control on the front panel. See page 55 of the latest owner's manual.

Is there an optimum setting for digital recording (bit rate?) that will
maximise memory capacity? I presume that ssb and cw being narrow audio need <<than hi fi. Has anyone done the sums to record a 48 hour contest? This would be brilliant for training. Even better to record a segment of the band that can be replayed using LP PAN etc. What memory capacity would be needed for that and is it practical to do?

N1MM records QSO's where Writelog records continuously.
Using N1MM in the NA QSO Party, for 424 QSOs, I used 500 Mb. A 25 second QSO took 1,101 KB Audio Format PCM 11.025, 16 Bit, Stereo. With Writelog one hour (3582.78 seconds) is 6,998 KB Audio format MPEG Layer-3 16 kBits/s, 11,025 Hz, Mono. Quite possibly I could have cut down the audio format to something like PCM 8 kHz, 8 Bit, Mono 7 kb/sec. That would have saved about 4,000 KB. But the 8 kHz quality was a fair amount less quality than the 11025 Hz in WPX SSB using an IC-746 with fixed line output. So I guess it depends on which program you are using to record, how much quality you want and how big your hard drive is! 73 Hank K8DD ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Cutter" <[hidden email]> To: "Elecraft" <[hidden email]> Cc: "Elecraft Reflector" <[hidden email]> Sent: Saturday, August 16, 2008 12:07 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 and recording SSB & CW > Is there an optimum setting for digital recording (bit rate?) that will > maximise memory capacity?

However, for simple, PCM, storage, which gives a pretty faithful reproduction, other than quantisation noise, you want to sample at approximately twice the bandwidth at halfway down the receiver filter skirts. Ideally, you should do this based on the true lower bound frequency, but you will need special software to both record and play this, and you will need to oversample in the sound card, as sound card anti-aliasing filters assume that the lower limit is zero. The PSTN used to use SSB on its carrier systems, with a nose bandwidth of 3.1kHz and an lower nose frequency of 300Hz, Amateur SSB (as against ESSB) is rather narrower than this. Digital PSTN converts this to 8kHz sampling, so you will never need more than 8kHz sampling and 6kHz would probably work quite well. As for bits per sample, you should, at least, be using the same systems as the telephone network uses, i.e. A or mu-law companding into 8 bit codes. Anything except the original 8 bit Sound Blaster will have provision for generating A and mu-law files. I'm not sure how well CVSD (continuous variable slope delta) (4 bits per sample) works with noisy signals. Given that communications voice tends to have a fairly constant amplitude, at the audio output, even 8 bit linear would have an acceptable SNR, but there is really no reason not to use A or mu-law, these days. With signal type aware encoding, and clean signals, as one might get in an FM ragchew environment, you should be able to get acceptable archive quality at 2.4kb/s, using linear predictive coding. Algorithms for this sort of bit rate are published on the internet, and were, I think devised by the military to allow the use of digital encryption, some twenty to thirty years ago. For noisy signals, one would need to experiment. For speech, another LPC based codec, that runs a bit faster, GSM full rate might be worth trying, at 13.6 kb/s. This is the typical codec used for voice recording in the Asterisk open source PABX. There is a half rate GSM algorithm, but I haven't seen publicly available implementations of this. Low bit rate versions of MP3 might be worth trying as well, e.g. the 8kb/s and 16kb/s. Although MP3 is designed for music, rather than speech, the 16kb/s certainly works well for communications quality speech, at least in the absence of noise. The ideal encoding for morse is, of course, to decode it, although I imagine one could get some quite compact coding that didn't go that far. On the other hand, if you intend to do any detailed analysis for harmonic distortion or any other detailed technical analysis, you want at least 16 bit linear, simple PCM. You should never use MP3 for reference samples. All the above would be mono. > > Even better to record a segment of the band that can be replayed using > LP PAN etc. What memory capacity would be needed for that and is it > practical to do? If you sample before the roofing filters, you need as fast as you get by as many bits as you can get. In practice that means 96kHz and 16 bits, although 24 bits would be better. You need to do this in stereo, to get both I and Q components. We are therefore talking about 384kB/s or 375KB/s. If you do it after a roofing filter, you need to sample at a rate equivalent to the bandwidth about half way down the filter skirts. In practice, the K3 roofing filters are all too narrow to get useful panning post filter. -- David Woolley Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want. RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam, that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

It's silly to use more than 8 kHz bandwidth to record it when documentation is the only concern. The 64kB mpeg stream from my internet jazz station is quite satisfying for full bandwidth music, so at least modest data compression is also in order. I wouldn't do more than modest data compression though -- the algorithms use a lot of bits to describe QRN.

My K3 arrived Wednesday (SN 1378, assembled with 100W and 2nd receiver
option, ordered in late May 2007 and held until the 2nd receiver was available, for those who keep track of such things.) I've had a chance to look at a couple of items and have written two new web pages with the results of my measurements. First is what do the AGC SLP and AGC THD settings actually correspond to? Using an automated data collection system, I've looked at the K3's audio output for RF levels between -140 and -20 dBm with varous AGC THD and AGC SLP settings. I also looked at the S-meter calibration over a similar range while I was at it. http://www.cliftonlaboratories.com/elecraft_k3_agc_and_s-meter.htm Second, I went through the IF sample port signal level measurements, including transfer gain (around -17.7 dB) and 8215 KHz isolation (68 dB or thereabouts) as well as signals out of the IF sample port other than the desired IF frequencies. I also looked at performance of a Softrock 6.2 Lite and my Z90 when connected to the K3 with and without an auxiliary buffer amplifier. There's also an important note for Z90 owners planning on using their Z90 (or Z91) with a K3. http://www.cliftonlaboratories.com/elecraft_k3_and_panadapters.htm Jack K8ZOA www.cliftonlaboratories.com > _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Hi Jeff,
Looprecorder (http://looprecorder.de/) is great for this. You can set it up to save at any interval, like once an hour adding the hour in the file name. Another good use is to have it loop record the last 10 minutes whenever you are active, that way you can always go back to verify a call or report without filling up the hard drive. There is a low price simple version which is enough for our purposes, but also a more sophisticated version used by radio stations for reference logging. I have no affiliation with them, but have been a happy user for many years. If anyone know a similar program for MAC I'll be happy to RX info about it. 73 de Björn /SM0MDG On 2008-08-16 02.43, "Jeff Kinzli N6GQ" <[hidden email]> wrote: > Hey Folks, > > I'm planning a serious effort for CQWW SSB in October and would like > to record the entire contest digitally to my laptop (not the logging > computer, a different one).
