[Elecraft] K3 PSK Success above the noise

[Jim Benson]

I just finished my first PSK31 contact using my K3 and the LIN IN/LIN  
OUT via VOX.

For those who have doubts about the NR, NB, AGC, etc., proof is in the  
results.  I live in a brick and steel Faraday cage.  It is impossible  
to use anything here but a mag loop for an antenna.  The building  
noise is simply overwhelming.(LCD tv, dsl, cable modems, wall warts,  
flickering mercury hall lights,)  About the only source of noise I  
don't have here in the city is an electric fence charger.

Till now I have been content going outside and working picnic table  
portable with an IC-703.

The K3 means I can have an indoor radio with real ears.

Thanks Altos keep on doing the voodoo you do so well.  My K3 mojo is  
working.

I really appreciate the opportunity to play at the developing edge  
which you make possible by quickly releasing code which is so simple  
to load and if need be simple to revert.
