Guys,
I believe we should pay attention to Fred Cady, KE7X who is author of
The Elecraft K3 Design, Configuration and Operation. He is also a retired
Professor of EE. Maybe there is something here which can be defined and
sorted. This is an interesting topic for me and I wonder if it is possible
to do still better things with the K3.

Oh by the way, this "thing" is not an audio thing. It is
something totally different.
Think this issue was discussed last year. There where
some leads on it but don´t know the outcome, if any.
