Corrected QST KSYN3A review article (link)

[wayne burdick]

A corrected version of QST's KSYN3A review article can be obtained here:

   http://www.elecraft.com/K3/QST%20KSYN3A%20revised.pdf

Figures 10 and 11 have been updated by the ARRL to show the KSYN3A's actual transmit phase noise. As you can see, relative to the original synth, the KSYN3A has far lower noise at close offsets (toward the left end of the graph), and nearly identical noise at wider offsets (toward the right).

As I mentioned previously, this is a *transmit* phase noise plot. Phase noise is even lower right at the output of the synth module itself, accounting for the KSYN3A's outstanding RMDR (reciprocal mixing dynamic range, which applies to receive mode).

Feel free to share this, print it, frame it, blog about it, discuss it over dinner with friends, etc. You have our blessing as well as that of the ARRL :)
