I think Mr. Harper has hit the nail squarely on the head
with this comment:
>I think our expectations of the K3 are based largely on

Its the same expectation that I have for transmit audio
punch. It took me six months to feel comfortable with my
audio settings on TX, and a lot of playing ensued. I
learned a lot, too! While I would like to see some of my
pet "additions" that I think are "important" be implemented,
it doesnt sound so bad now, and reality states that there is
just so much that can be implemented in the DSP; Im on my
own to solve my perceived problems, real or imagined.
There is no perfect rig. This one is close, but its not
perfect, and never will be. Where once there was crackly
receiver intermod products, now we hear clicking and
"blur/mush". Not saying its not real, just saying it is an
artifact of this technology's design and our own
perceptions.
If it can be fixed or mitigated, then great! If it cant,
then we have to either live with it or buy something else.
I had a boss who's favorite saying was "Perception is
Reality". He is right.
And I dont think a lot of this will be replicated in a lab
either. Its as much perceived as it is real; we are all
learning how to work in this new digital domain. Its going
to take us a while to get our collective heads around it.
I will record ARRL 10 as well, Im mixed mode, too.
