[Elecraft] K3 and Synch AM

[tom kenville]

Thought I'd share this with the hardy crew.

Last week I was on the Calif AMI net, 3870.

Enjoyable and relaxing banter.

Then the wolves showed up -- purposeful QRM right on top of the net.

Full on carriers, keyed "V" signals, varying carrier frequency, SSB signals,
re-broadcast music, you name it.  They would stop every so often, listening
I suppose, trying to get a rise out of folks.

Well sir, I just pushed the K3's SAM button, rotated the filter shift, and
-viola- QRM dead-gone.  Set my operating frequency to 3870 split.  RX
tracks, TX sticks.  Ahhh

I have N8LP panadapter and so could see that the interference was within
100Hz and almost same signal level as the AM carrier, sometimes even higher.

I made it a point, when my turn came up, to state the pleasure I had in
completely eliminating the sorry attempt at interference.

The "fine citizen" gave up a bit later.

Another victory for K3.
