[Elecraft] K3:New APF what happened?

[juergen]

Hi

I was so impressed by the original K3 APF firmware. Why is it so lack luster in the current beta?

I have read all the posts that there is no difference,  my ears tell me different? 

When I used the APF in its original release on 160m and 80 meters it just blew me  away to mars and back. Now I might as well not have it on! The  signals dont "pop"out of the noise like they use too. 

I might have to have my ears cleaned and checked for wax or something.
I am mystified especially when Lyle says that there is no difference in the firmware.


The K3's APF in the current beta behaves much like the one in my Icom radios and they are very ineffective in the Icom radios. 

I have shifted back to the old beta 4 times  and the results are better for the old APF and it wins hands down. I will keep the old beta just for contests, its just too good  not to use.
