[Elecraft] K3 Audio

[Brett Howard]

I'm not exactly sure what it is but with the K1 connected to the RX_OUT jack
then switching to RX_ANT and getting the antenna connected to the K1 I often
find that I prefer the sound of the sigs on the K1 to that of the K3.  But
the K3 is a LOT easier to get on freq (I selected the 150Khz bandwidth on my
K1 so the knob is FAST :)) and I also have a lot more options available to
me on the K3 to play with the signal.  But I do admit that there are often
times that after playing with the signal on the K3 for a bit I prefer the
way the K1 sounds out of the box.  The cool thing about any sort of
shortcoming you find in the K3 is that you never know how long it will be
there.  With any other radio you know it'll be there forever.  With the K3
it's kinda like an adventure... HIHI.   

I'm having fun... :)

G'day,

Had the chance to listen to the Rob Sherwood presentation at Dayton Drake 
Forum 2008.  Very interesting but he had a couple of rather unflattering 
issues with the K3.  Looks like the output at both ends of the chain, RF 
and AF could be better, particularly the AF.

Looks like my subjective concerns about the hard audio were not misplaced. 
I'm not golden eared but they still work OK.

Regards,

Mike VP8NO
