[Elecraft] K3 - K3/0 Installation

[M Cresap]

The RemoteRig has many options for audio quality and bit rate. This can range for 8 KHz/8 Ksamples to 16 bit/16 KSamples. You can choose half duplex or full duplex. Right now my local router is reporting
 
Incoming bit rate in receive: 125 Kbit/second
   I use 8 KHz/12 bit sampling which accounts for 96 Kbits of the data
  The command and control info and the packet overhead accounts for the rest
 
Outgoing bit rate in receive (no changes): 2 Kbit/second
  Status requests to the remote K3.
 
Outgoing bit rate in receive (spin the main tuning knob of the K3/0): 50 Kbit/second
 
In transmit, the incoming and outgoing data rates are swapped.
 
Spectrum Lab can also be configured to provide data at different rates. Right now I am requesting data from the remote Spectrum Lab web server every 2 seconds. When the load from Spectrum Lab is added, the incoming data rate jumps from 125 Kbit/second to ~400 Kbit/second. The outgoing data rate bounces around a bit, but averages about 8 Kbit/second.
 
Does that help?

Does traffic OUT of the K3/0 dominate that 900 KB/s stream? Have you measured the in/out components on either end?


Thanks,

    My experience is that the K3/0 makes the remote station completely transparent. It is just like being in front of the rig. I have the K3 plus a SoftRock/soundcard on the IF output using the SpectrumLab client server application to provide a realtime waterfall display. The complete system runs about 900 kbit per second the way I have it configured - the remote end of the link has a 1 Mbit capacity, the local end about 40 Mbit/sec.
