[Elecraft] DSP Upgrade etc

[Merv Schweigert]

I think a little peace and quiet on the reflector is a good thing. 
No traffic from the factory is a good thing, they are not sitting
with their feet up and looking for something to do,  so quiet
means things are busy and moving along.

I would like to mention I received my DSP upgrade board in
Fridays mail,  had ordered it on Nov 25 for those who are
waiting and wondering. 
Install went swift and easy,  a 30 minute job,  and my old one
is in the box and on the way back so someone else can get
one after mines reworked. 

It took much longer to install the stainless steel kit I also ordered,
Like to thank Elecraft for a super job of putting together a very
complete kit of stainless for the K3.  Being here in salt air my
black screws were turning a slight brown already after a little
over a year in service. 

Did a couple other mods to bring number 2603 up to the latest and
greatest. 
Dont ask me if I have a new radio,  some here have posted that
after the DSP installation they had a new radio,  sorry dont be
influenced by that to buy the upgrade,  I can hear lower audio tones
better if I set the shift lower or the pitch lower,  but I do not hear
any real earth moving changes.  I updated more to keep the K3
up to date for future sales,  or other updates that may require the
newer DSP board changes. 
If you have good hearing the high freq (15khz) noise is gone due
to the filter board installed on the DSP board. 
If you are happy with the sound of your K3 as is,  dont bother with
the upgrade,  you wont be working any new DX because of it. 
All in all another good job by Elecraft.
