K3 Broadcast Band Performance

[Mike Scott-7]

I tuned my new K3 to 640 KHz to listen to a local AM radio station. I was
connected to my 40M inverted Vee. The station had too low signal strength to
listen to. Just next to the K3 is an old tube radio with a 6-inch ferrite
antenna that tunes the station just fine.

 

I was expecting different results, what is wrong with my expectations? I
have the KBPF3 General Coverage Receiver filter module.

I had time to complete the calibration this morning.  I'm extremely happy
with the K3.  SSB audio is assume.  I especially like the LCD display.
Appears to be much brighter and has better contrast than my Kenwood TS-2000.

Congratulations to Eric and Wayne!!

I just noticed that the picture of the K3 on the Elecraft website shows the
AF knob below the RF knob.  In looking at my K3 I notice that the AF knob is
now on top of the RF knob.  Anyone know why this was changed?

The front panel legends changed slightly as a result of feedback and and
development during the initial month of two of field testing.  The
picture on the website is out of date.
