[Elecraft] Free DV (digital voice as reported in QST-Aprilissue)

[Richard Fjeld]

It was me that was under question by Don.  I am glad to learn of the correct way, but I must say that I received very good reports the way I was running it.  However, I like the way the ALC looks using Don's recommendation.

As a comment, many of the people I have heard running freeDV are using Flex radios, yet a K3 is so simple to use and so few.  Go figure.

Rich, n0ce

  I have set it up that way, Don, and it works fine. I was in QSO with someone
  who had a Flex and I was running 25W and I increased the power to 40W and he
  told me that he was still getting perfect copy and could detect no increase
  in bandwidth. You really have to try hard to make a K3 splatter.
