K3S In-Depth Review Coming Soon?

[wayne burdick]

All of the improvements I mentioned benefit the headphone jacks, *except* the AF amp redesign, which affects only the internal and external speakers.

The headphone amplifier has always had extremely low distortion.

Wayne,
Thanks for the clarification. My main interest is with headphones.
By the way the new SP3 looks and sounds nice.

The three K3's did well for themselves as usual down at KP2M this past
weekend. And at Miami last night I ran into N2NT on his way back from V4
with his K-line. We were both talking about a PX3 sized P3 for the K3. It
sure would be easier to haul around for contests.
73,
N2TK, Tony

Al,

The thread will not go away until something is done to address the issue.

Elecraft makes the best "system" in the market place, however, the audio and
noise reduction implantation leaves a lot to be desired.

Oh no... Oh no, not the "bad K3 audio" thread again?!


I'm pretty sure that, five years from now, people will still be asking, "Was
the phase noise of the new synthesizers reviewed in QST ever fixed so that
it's better than the old synthesizer at higher offsets?"

Jim,
    Do you have Fred Cady's book on the K3? What audio and noise reduction
issues are you experiencing ? I'm a new owner and a voracious reader and
find learning to use the radio for noise reduction is pretty daunting,
however, I also haven't had any noise issues that I couldn't adjust out to
isolate the desired signal.
I use the RF gain, pre-amp, roofing filtering, DSP filtering, NR settings,
AGC settings, NB and NB settings. In my mind the key is to understand what
each of these does, how they interact, general parameters of the received
signals in the bandpass (pre roofing filters), and being able to actually
hear the desired signal at to start.

Just curious because my prior radio did a decent job but nothing even close
to what my K3S does.
I have the 400Hz and 2.8KHz 8 pole roofing filters installed and use a
dipole for RX.

[gm3sek]

Apologies once again - this message sent yesterday to G3RXQ was meant to
be copied to the whole group.


------------------------------------------

You are right, Stewart.

Please cancel that whole paragraph about the KIO3B. Apologies to the
group for spreading my confusion worldwide.


73 from Ian GM3SEK
