DSP>>Performance of K3 vs 756 Pro III

[George-122]

Anyone made a DSP comparison of the K3 and Pro III and would like to comment?

I'm not very happy with the Pro III's DSP operation.  (Too much coloration of the audio.)

Tnx,
George, N4YM

I spend the CQWW CW contest A/Bing my K3 with my Icom IC-7800. Now the
Icom is for sale. The K3 is miles ahead where it matters

the K3 sounds very 'transparent' Like a really good analog radio

I have to second this. The K3 DSP is what DSP should be; the filters
are very sharp, yet even at the lower bandwidths (down to 50 Hz)
they don't ring excessively. It really shines with the noise reduction
function (NR). Firstly, the NR level is adjustable so you can tune it
for the minimum necessary for the situation, but even at its most
aggressive the ONLY artifact I have noticed is a slightly hollow
"bottom of the well" sound with NO degradation of the
"information" be it ssb or cw.

Lyle has out-done himself on this!

K3 beats IC7800?  Boy, am I glad I already have a K3 on order or I'd be
forced to order one just on the strength of this statement!

Thank you for the kind words, but this really is a team effort at all
levels.

Merry Christmas!
