K3 - ESSB Availability

[Joe Word]

Any update on when the ESSB function will be turned on in the
firmware? I am using the 2.7 filter with various dynamic microphones
and getting good audio reports, but not as good as I get from my Icom
756 PRO III. Would like to try a little wider bandwidth (about 3.0)
and see if I can match the PRO. Will need the 6.0 filter of course.

The various dynamic mics I am using have gotten excellent audio
reports using rigs like the Yaesu Mark IV, Kenwood TS-870 and etc.

I have had three different people view my transmit bandwidth on their
spectrum scopes and confirmed that my 2.7 filter is in fact
transmitting at 2.7 bandwidth (not 2.9 as previous thought).

Hi Joe.

Yes, I am also awaiting this firmware update. I have not yet got my K3, but my hopes are that it will be ready soon. Right now I am also using the IC-756pro3, microphone are the TSM MT-57 dynamic, and I use the W2IHY equalizer into the rear ACC connector. I have also ordered a better microphone, the AV Leader STM-11 : http://www.avleader.com.tw/product_Studio%20Microphones.htm
This one has a very flat frequency response and needs an equalizer to sound good.
This one also needs +48V phantom power, I have the small LEEM PHW-22 phantom power supply.
This one is cheap, and it has selectable +48V or +12V.

This is what amateur radio is all about for some of us, not just getting a message thru but making it sound as good as possible.

Best regards
LA4AMA
