Hi Everyone,
My preliminary opinion on the K3 ESSB Beta Version is excellent.
V2.23 installed here with no funnies. Config was a snap.
My first Q's last night were on 75m with a round table of G stations in
England and Wales. All reported to me that I had fantastic audio
without knowing first what I was running here.
Then we did an a/b with ESSB at 3.6 KHz and stock SSB at 2.8 KHz and
all reported that ESSB was more pronounced and punchy than with the 2.8
KHz bandwidth but also smoother. I can hear the difference in the
monitor as well. It is very smooth and full without being too bassy.
I am running a Heil BM-10ic electret condenser mic element with MIC = 40
and COMP = 16. Tonight I'll hook up my Heil 781 and give it a workout.
Wayne told me that the ESSB TX EQ (TX*EQ) will be a feature coming along
later on, so for the time being there is only one TX EQ for SSB transmit
whether normal SSB or ESSB.
The K3 never fails to amaze me. With ESSB already in Rx and now Tx it
has just become an incredible SSB radio. Get the 6 KHz filter and give
it a try.
