I was reading the email on this web site and I ran across someone
who said you cannot please everyone. While this true, I feel as if a company states that there is a frim/software up grade, that is one of your reasons to buy, that they keep thier word. It would be nice to have the 0.5 ppm TCXO calibration. The sychronous AM is one of the reasons I bought my K3. Dave G4AOW, these updates are growing a little long in the tooth.

I simply cannot understand the 'fuss' about the 0.5 ppm calibration. the
TCXO's as shipped by elecraft already exceed this specification by a comfortable margin over a very wide operating temperature range, a wider range than . Your K3 with TCXO already does considerably better than 0.5ppm, you don't need to enter the calibration data to see this. Simply look at the sheet supplied with your TXCO and you will see this. My K3 FP temp is around 40C (give or take a few degrees ) My TCXO does better than 0.5ppm over a range from -10C to well over +50C Elecraft sold me a TCXO for my K3 promising that it would do 0.5ppm. well it turns out that that it does. 73 Brendan EI6IZ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

Karl,
1. As many here have said, the K3 already does 0.5 PPM, so where is your complaint? 2. If you had not already bought your K3, would you still buy one today without synchronous AM? If the answer to that is "no", then I think possibly you have a somewhat different perspective on the K3 than the majority of its owners, a fact you might keep in mind when referring to it's delay as a "broken promise". And didn't Elecraft already apologize for prematurely announcing synchronous AM detection anyway?? Maybe I'm confusing that with something else, but if not, it seems that the topic is being unnecessarily flogged. I have my own disappointments with certain aspects of the K3 (as well as the pending P3), but I must admit I'm surprised at the level of ire directed toward Elecraft on some of these topics. 73, Dave AB7E Karl Marderian wrote: > I was reading the email on this web site and I ran across someone > who said you cannot please everyone.

Well guys I have to say "I Love This List".
This list has taken what was a cloudy rainy Yucky day and gave me much enjoyment. We all know that the K3 isn't perfect but I Think we can all agree that it is a joy to Use. At least I love mine. It is the best I have ever owned in 35+ years as a ham. As far as Elecraft customer support is concerned, Anyone that has had to use it knows it has no Equal in the ham radio world. OK where's the koolaid?

David, My point was to be heard. Others write in about the changes they want, why not me? Would I have bought the K3 any way, yes. As I stated before in an open letter to this web sight. The ' others ' would have you wait for the 7xxx to come out with most of the frimware and most, if not all of the hardware changes. I really like my K3 SN 2020. My old radio was an MP MK V. Just want to heard. Karl N6XVT Sent from my iPhone On Sep 19, 2009, at 5:23 PM, David Gilbert <[hidden email]> wrote: > Karl, > > 1.
