[Elecraft] K3 question to field testers - 10M birdies??

[Simon Lewis]

All,

Can one of the testers please comment....

My main interest in the K3 is for transverter driving from 10m

Can someone provide info on what birdies if any they find around the 10m
band receiver

My K2 was less than acceptable in this hence the reason it got sold

Is the K3 10m section free ?? Anyone comment?

So you don't want ANY phone calls or e-mails about
specs bacause you're busy with the rollout? 

Just say so if that's it!

;-)


[Elecraft] K3 Preliminary Specifications
On our K3 page, you'll now find a link to a .pdf
version of the K3's  preliminary specs. We'll add an
HTML version, too, probably next week. Any of these
specs may change pending further testing or design 
changes.

PLEASE don't call or e-mail with questions about the
specs. We'll add or update specs as time permits.
Discussion about the specs is fine, of course and
we'll be diligently reading the reflector. But I'd
like to ask in advance that any *arguments* about
specs be taken off-line, so  Eric (our reflector cop)
doesn't have to put the hammer down  :)

Comment about RX specs:

Receive dynamic range (IMDDR3) is shown for 5 to 20
kHz offsets at present, with the 400-Hz INRAD filter.
We're trying to be conservative, because testing
organizations may get slightly different results due
to variations in equipment and procedures. Our own
tests, conducted at three separate locations,
consistently show 102 to 105 dB at 5 kHz. We also
didn't list 2 kHz offset performance yet, because
we're carefully characterizing all filters. Typically,
we're seeing low to mid 90's on all filters.
(Measuring the K3's dynamic range has been a challenge

because it's higher than anything we've dealt with
before. We've had to beef up our test gear to handle
it.)

Again, please, NO phone calls or e-mails about specs
-- this will just slow down the engineering and
support staff. We're dealing with many details right
about now, as you can imagine.

Thanks!
