K3 DSP Old and New

[Elecraft mailing list]

I have an older 2009 K3 without the updated DSP. What is your opinion? Is it worth the upgrade to the newer D version? Anyone done a comparison?

Hello Doug,
If you are not going for a K3S, the update to newer D version is very worthwhile.  It gives great improvement in the audio (though I still consider the audio worse than my new generation Icom radio).
However, Elecraft mentioned in the past that the DSP board currently used in K3S would be offered to K3 user for upgrade.
I would wonder whether you would like to wait for the new K3S DSP board instead.

Doug,

I also have the older DSP board.  I elected to add the Low Pass Filter
add-on-board because I was not interested in the extended low frequency
response.
So the proper answer depends on your aspirations - the low pass filter
does provide a definite advantage in high frequency 'hiss'.
