[Elecraft] [K3] K3 RF speech processor > aliasing ?

Hello Paul!

The purpose of the processor, of course, is to increase the average 
power of the signal while controlling the peak power.  There will of 
necessity be distortion products when this is done.  The operator of the 
radio needs to make choices and set the CMP level, etc., for the best 
results for his or her particular voice, band conditions, and operating 
objectives.

We'll continue to work on improving the performance of the K3 speech 
processor.  Meanwhile, many operators find it to be a very effective 
tool in their station operation.
