[P3] P3 and K144XV tvtr

[Simon Lewis-6]

Does the P3 need the transverter gain setting altered when using the int K144XV tvtr

or is it set ok ??

I needed to bump the ref level down to about -156 to get the noise floor at a decent level on the P3

Anyone else using the P3 with the K144XV??

Yes again, Simon, there are two XV setting options on the far clockwise
positions of the P3 menu.  One of these is 'XV Gain' and is provided for
precisely the reason you describe. (My firmware version is 1.19 beta)

Ahh I did wonder if it needed bumped up

Ill have a play tomorrow

been fun listening to 20m all day watching the world whizz by on the the screen

the P3 is fun ... with the SVGA ... its awesome :)

The ext monitor option is worth every penny

now if only I could use a mouse on those waterfalls!

:)

mind you with SDR-IQ hanging off the IF port I can use the PC to drag the K3 round

fun!

:)
