[Elecraft] KX3 / NaP3 Question

[Tom]

Hi 
That's interesting. In principle the automatic Iq  routines should just handle this IF the signal is on the Iq signal itself since it would also have an image and thus the routines would just suppress it. Since it doesn't perhaps the signal is just getting into the sound card and thus NaP3 just tries to balance it and that screws up the current calibration. 
Here's a test.  See if you see a signal with the Iq lines disconnected. If you do then having something that turns off the  KX3 s Iq will do nothing. 
Therefore it would have to be handled somehow by NaP3. Probably the best way would be to have a threshold where if the, signal was above this, then it would not be considered in the calculations. 
That is preferable to turning off the auto balance since the correction is frequency dependent.
