Lines crisper on P3 since KSYN3A upgrade?

Barry
Installed the 2 KSYN3A boards yesterday.  Very straight-forward and I didn't even drop a lock washer  :-)  Kudos to Elecraft!

Anyway, using the K3 and P3 on 20m today and the lines for the CW sigs seems thinner/crisper.  Is there something to this or am I imagining it?  I haven't had the radio on much the last 3-4 months with summer doldrums condx.

Also, has anyone come up with a use for the old SYN boards?  I hate to just toss them in the garbage, but I don't want to save them, either, if they no longer have any use.

Barry,

I can't address the P3 question since the "brand E" here is a K2. However, on
your second point, "toss them in the garbage" is a no-no from an
environmental standpoint. ANY electronics disposal should be via proper
recycling. There are multiple local dropoff points for e-waste here in
rural "flyover country" so I'm sure anyone in a more populated/more
environmentally conscious area should have no problem finding a recycling
center. /rant off HI HI!!

That being said, perhaps someone could establish a clearinghouse for
unneeded/unwanted boards leftover from upgrades such as your SYN boards. If
Murphy has anything to do with it, a few days or a week after you decide to
dispose of the boards someone will be looking for one or both of them....

73, Al

I have collected a few of them with plans to use them in undetermined
projects.  Before you toss them, I would be willing to pay postage to have
them sent to me.  If I eventually can't use them, or if one blows out for
someone, I can always forward one of the boards to them.

It does appear to be difficult to program the boards, but I am persistent,
even if not smart!
