Thanks Rob, and thanks Warren for the clear explanation of what a slice is. Now what is the difference between the Icom 7610, and the Flex 6000 series? The flex 6000, except the 6300 can get four

Does anybody know if the KPOD can be programmed to duplicate the M1-M4 message functions of the K3? I would like to be able to bring the CW and SSB message functions to the desktop. For example,

We use them extensively over at the W5PDO club station here in Los Alamos. Mostly because we got them surplus from LASL (before they turned into LANL). Lots of random length patch cords with them at

Since we're talking about RF connectors, does anyone know why the C-Type connectors never caught on in ham radio applications. We used them in the military and they were great. Quarter turn snap lock,

Jeff. As promised, Warren has some answers for you. Hopefully this helps. We all get to learn. Rob, NC0B Hi Rob, There are many questions embedded in this discussion! I hardly know where to

Hi Jeff, I don’t know that I can adequately answer your question as to programming an ADC. I am forwarding this thread to NR0V who programs all the DSP for Apache products. I would assume the

Hi Rob, always good information in your posts. Can you explain the differences, as you see it between the direct receivers from Flex radio vs the Icoms? I have a Flex 6500 and on occasion use the 4

Granted the IC-9700 radio may not be out of spec, but when the spec does not reflect the real world use of the radio it does not matter. If the radio is marketed to do digital modes on all three

Rob, Thanks for weighing in. Your perspective is always appreciated. Dan w3dka

The IC-9700 may not be out of drift spec, but it has issues with some modes. Your K3 with an option can calibrate the internal clock, but it doesn’t phase lock. However at HF it likely doesn’t

Firstly, why are we discussing a new Icom radio on an Elecraft reflector, when there is no Elecraft comparison radio or competition for the Icom radio? Secondly, when mentioning frequency drift on

Ray, Your K3 (my K3) as well as my KX2 are computers with a radio front end and computer doing all the heavy work. That is why Win4K3Suite is about to work.. computer to computer talking. Now take

I DON’T want a Computer Messing My Radio up ! That is Why I went with a K3 in the First place. When the Power goes OUT, you’ll be in Panic Mode. WA6VAB……Ray

The issue is when the fan comes on after the rig has warmed up on 23cm. On the higher power other bands the fan comes on and the frequency moves around. Rob, NC0B

I just ran a 30-minute test on my IC-9700 at 1296 MHz. Against a GPSDO-locked transverter (SunSDR2 pro + DEM L23HP), the 9700 drifted down 4 HZ in 30 minutes. Not that terrible. w8mqw

Norm, I would be happy with my "old" K3 (#7554) and good activity on CW & SSB. I believe most of us won't take part on a SDR competition... I am possibly an old fashioned geezer... 73, Martin,

I have a K3/0-MINI-F ($699,95 new) plus cable sets RRMINICBL ($59,95 new) and RRMTCBL ($59,95 new) which are surplus to my needs (I had planned to install a second K3 remote station but will

There are drift issues with the IC-9700, particularly with narrow-band digital modes. There is some drift on SSB, less on 2m, more on 70cm and a lot more on 23cm. At least at present the IC-9700

From my perspective, the term SDR (software defined radio) today is virtually meaningless. A K3S is a superhet down-conversion radio with lots of DSP software programming in the tail end of the

Norm, Elecraft is a company that has a history of surprises going all the way back to the K2 and who would have suspected the KX3 and KX2, plus the K-line and KX-line. I suspect one day Wayne and
