PX3

Allen Patterson
When is the PX3 going to be available for shipping?

You mentioned several software-firmware updates for the PX3 that are planned.
What is the general schedule for each of these updates after initial product shipment?
When is the manual for the PX3 going to be available?

Fwd: PX3

Uwe Hermanns
Hi,

is the frequency responce of the KX3-IQ really flat over 250 kHz?

Re: Fwd: PX3

Barry K3NDM
Good question. I have run at 192 KHz. with the sound card I have, a
Steinberg UR22. The display I see using NaP3 shows a non-flat response.
In fact, there are some words about this in the KX3 manual.

In reply to this post by Uwe Hermanns
I though I read 200 kHz (like P3). It may not matter about flat because this is a dedicated device so it can correct any deviations in the radio.

In reply to this post by Barry K3NDM
Yep. That what I was questioning. I, too, remembered those words. I also
know it will take more than just inserting an amplifier with inverse
gain characteristics. I know it can be done. However, that doesn't sate
my curiosity as to how they did it. I just hope the solution isn't
proprietary.

Re: PX3

Barry K3NDM
I was hoping to get a hint from the manual as well as answer a few other
questions, But it isn't on line yet.

The I&Q data coming out of the KX3 is analog. It could be that they are,
in fact, feeding an A/D converter directly. The rest would be just some
software and a look up table. I guess I agree with you that would be the
way to go. It's straight forward.

Re: PX3

Alan Bloom-2
Yes, the I/Q signal from the KX3 goes through an analog buffer directly
into a two-channel analog to digital converter.  All processing is then
done digitally by the DSP.  Correcting the frequency response is a
simple matter of multiplying the frequency points by the correct number
before they are displayed.  It's a good example of something that would
be complicated using analog circuitry but is trivial with a DSP.

Re: PX3

Edward R Cole
In reply to this post by Allen Patterson
Don,

I mistook the statement:  > Will it support both 0 ans 8 kHz
"IF"?<  to be 8-MHz and knowing the K3 IF to be 8.215 MHz jumped to a
wrong conclusion.  I would have known had I first read the
announcement.  You are the fifth person to notify me of my error.

Since the PX3 takes audio baseband IQ input, I would guess any SDR*
outputting enough bandwidth would work.  For example the LP-Pan which
I believe has 400-kHz bw available.  The usual bw restriction is with
the soundcard if one is  using a computer to connect to the KX3 IQ
output.  *The SDR-IQ would not work since it does not output audio
baseband, so using a SDR depends?  Ordinary monaural audio will not
work...has to be IQ.  (Wayne correct any errors with my guessing)

So, since I do use two separate LP-Pan with my K3 and KRX3, the PX3
might work with their output.  Audio level requirements might be a
consideration, but I suspect that is OK since the KX3 is designed
with that in mind.

My thought was how there might be an incentive to get the PX3 if one
had both radios.

Ed,

In my current ignorance, I don't know if the PX3 has an RF input. The
literature says it uses the RX I/Q as input - which means it will not
handle the 8 MHz IF output of the K3.
It may be possible if one feeds the K3 IF output to an SDR device
(Softrock RX, LP-Pan, SDR-IQ, etc) which does have I/Q outputs, but who
knows at this time.
