Re: Elecraft K-3 SSB and AM Squelch

Can you also look at putting AM compression back at this time too?

Speaking of AM, how is everyone setting the K3 up for AM now? I used to have
good luck with it many Firmware updates ago. The last time I tried it,
several upgrades ago, I was not pleased  with it on tx.

Firmware version 2.38 (Sept 2008) included compression on AM, since then
there has been none. I used to call into the local AM net but it's too
embarrassing now with everyone commenting on how poor the K3 sounds.

Hi Wayne
I'll second that. Dave G4AON kindly sent me an old version of the
firmware so that AM would work again.  For the K3 to be viable as an AM
TX it needs to behave the same way as a boat anchor rig. My KW Vanguard
uses two 6L6s to modulate a 6146B. The modulation is excellent. My
706MK11 does a very good job on AM also.

Whilst looking at this, could you look again at the FM transmit, which
sounds woefully thin compared to my rice boxes set on FM narrow. The
audio has no body and tends to sound snatchy on peaks.
No complaints whatsoever about RX in either mode. Be nice to get the
Synchronous AM after playing with Dave's Perseus over the internet.
