Burdick watch!

Don Rasmussen
Welcome back from vacation Wayne, looks like you drew
email watch for a while. Maybe it's just becuase
you're keeping an eye on the firmware release, but
refreshing to see the firmware programmer the CEOs
watching the list. ;-)

Using a Drake MS4 here (4 ohms), gives good punch on
CW, good fidelity on phone modes.

Love the new K3 firmware!

We're working on all of these, Mike, along with the
DVR and additional
subreceiver-related firmware.

I assume you're referring to SSB mode. Even though the
WIDTH control
went to 6 kHz in SSB modes before, the DSP was
actually restricting the
RX bandwidth to about 4 kHz. We'll revisit the
possibility of extending
the upper passband in the future.

In AM modes, the WIDTH control now shows the *I.F.*
DSP bandwidth (up
to 10 kHz), reflecting an AM RX passband that extends
up to about 5
kHz.


> Also why not allow RX/TX passband down to 50 or so
Hz?

We actually do process signals down to this level, but
further
improvement is possible. It's on "the list."

Elecraft brings new meaning to the phrase "customer responsiveness"!

Wow!  Have you ever asked a question of competitors (on a weekend no less!) and seen such responsiveness directly from the company management?  

This is why IMHO Elecraft will continue to gain market share in leaps and bounds.  Competitors beware...you were warned!

Thanks, Bill -- now my wife has written proof that I don't have a life  
:(  (At least not immediately after a new firmware release....)

Lyle: it looks like we have to work on our turnaround times.

How come it does not say "Elecraft" on the display boot up?

That list misses out one reply from N6KR to me that didn't go to the list.
