[Elecraft] K3 - A CW rig?

[w6jd at comcast.net]

Fred,

I am a devote CW op and have never enjoyed SSB until the
K3 came along. K3 audio is remarkably clean, distortion
free and a joy to listen to. Clearly a great deal of the "trash"
I heard on SSB I should have attributed to my receiver rather
than the "other guy". Unlike many other implementations, the
K3 DSP noise reduction is very effective without introducing
annoying artifacts. At its most aggressive it will produce a
hollow, "bottom of the well", sound but with no loss of
intelligibility. The VOX is the smoothest I've ever used and
is all you could ever want. Being able to tailor both the
receive and transmit audio allows you to compensate for
your voice and hearing characteristics quite effectively.

73, 
Doug, W6JD
K2/100 #1626
K3/100 #23
