Re: New kit: 5W CW transceiver with WSPR beacon
Hi Martin That would work. You would only get about 25dB unwanted sideband cancellation at 1500Hz but for WSPR that should be fine. In the beacon mode, the receiver is active in between TX periods.

Re: What's the longest time anyone has had a U3S running for?
I would have to dust off my licence or dl a new version it's been so long. ?Just a question for UK users as without checking I wasn't sure of the current situation. ? For me with a full UK licence

Re: New kit: 5W CW transceiver with WSPR beacon
Thanks Hans, Ah yes, I was thinking of the bandwidth of the CW filter - not the center frequency! But a simple add on bypass switch could possibly be used to link out the filter when receiving WSPR...

Are you in the UK ? If so, and you read the License Terms you will see it depends on which License you hold and which band you TX on if I recall correctly. But no flying to the Bahamas for a three

Re: What's the longest time anyone has had a U3S running for?
I switch my U3s off if I am not at home. ?What's the position on unattended operation? It can run a couple days if I am around at home.

Re: What's the longest time anyone has had a U3S running for?
2 years easily. I have 2 x U2's and a U3 DDS. Only time they have been off is for the odd firmware upgrade, otherwise they sit their running 24/7 with GPS calibration. In fact I thought about this

OCXO oscillator works fine but not recognized by my U3S
I have a number of ultimate 3s WSPR beacons up and running. I recently had an overvoltage issue with one of them which has damaged the OCXO, most likely the oven transistors as far as I can see. This

Re: Ultimate 3S Burp After Transmitting
Tips highly appreciated - I may need them.? Perhaps also this thing uses more current than I think?? I can't find documented the current of the 3S nor the GPS.? Also i realize it varies with PA

Yep, I had the exact same problem. Better filtering on the power supply fixed it . The cap filtering suggested in the previous post fixed it, I used electrolytics

Re: New kit: 5W CW transceiver with WSPR beacon
Hi Martin The receiver has a 700Hz CW filter. WSPR decoders work at 1500Hz. So it is not directly compatible... You could pull off the signal BEFORE the CW filter and use that. The audio phase shift

Hi Hans, Im hoping this isnt too stupid a question! The idea of the WSPR beacon mode is great, especially for us SOTA ops. Would I be right in thinking that outside of the WSPR Tx period, the receiver
