K3, Replacement Synth question

HI,
I ordered a pair of synths about a week ago, and was wondering what the
delivery time has been on the West Coast? Can someone comment on the
time it took for the order to be fulfilled and delivered?

They've had massive orders and ran out (backordered). The next batch
was expected to be shipped ASAP, or next week for my order. The delay
was 5-10 BUSINESS days (two weeks). You're in line, be patient. :)

Speaking at Radiofest today, Eric said they had been surprised
by the demand for the new synths. Currently they are using most
of their supply for filling K3 orders. He expects to get caught
up with the current synth orders in April, about the time I
expect have softened up the YL enough to get my order in. Even
with a late order, I expect to have a bit of a wait.

Re: K3, Replacement Synth question

I don't know whether it is the firmware or the hardware but the QSK even at
25-30wpm is now extremely smooth and without artifacts like pops that used
to occur.

Very, very nice!!

And I got it for the 630m support.

Maybe they need to get ready for more surprises. Sherwood's new
numbers show a 6 dB lower noise floor without the preamp than the
old synth and "sensitivity" numbers equivalent to the old synth
with a 6 dB lower AGC threshold. That translates to a "hotter"
*and* quieter receiver as well as a cleaner transmitter.

The new K3 "no preamp" MDS is equivalent to that of the TS-590SG,
Flex-5000, TenTec Orion, Yaesu FTdx5000 and Icom 7800 *with* their
preamps (first step for the FTdx5000 and IC-7800). Very impressive.

73,
