K3 AF Mods

K5WA

I don’t really use my speaker very often, but I just wanted to keep my K3s up to date by installing the AF amp and LINE OUT AF mods.  They went in very easily even though I chose the “harder” installation choices.  I even piggy backed the SMT resistors without a problem.  They aren’t pretty, but they work fine.  ;-)    I then plugged in a pair of external Yamaha computer speakers I had laying around and the audio sounds very mellow and clear on both SSB an CW.  I also adjusted the RX EQ to emphasize the lower ranges more.  I really hadn’t noticed any distortion previously, but it seems to be more pleasing to the ears now.  I feel like a Bose advertisement now when I say “I can’t believe that GREAT sound comes out of that little bitty box!”.
