[Elecraft] KDSP2

[Cristian Radulescu]

Hi Larry,
Well, maybe my english ain't 20/20 in expressing the reality as I feel it. When I said artifacts it doesn't mean something "extra" besides the signal.It's more the way the signals sound. There is a sort of "echoes" like the voices are pronounced is a large, empty room, if you know what I mean. I am proud of having a very good musical ear that's why I am also able to detect the slight "distorsions"introduced by the A/D D/A conversions and manipulations in the DSP processor. They are not annoying but, as I said, I have to get used with them. From what I've heard, they are specific to digital proccessing.
All these I noticed in SSB mode only when noise reduction and/or notch are engaged. The audio filters provided by the KDSP2 do not introduce any distortion as far as I can tell.
In CW mode I could not sense any distortion.
If you are a CW only guy, you might consider KAF2 instead. What I can advice you is to try and listen someones K2 fitted with the KDSP2 and decide then accordingly. Listen also the samples posted on the Elecraft site in the KDSP2 section. My KDSP2 sounds exactly the same.
73's de YO3IAZ, Cristian

Hello, Cristian

Glad you like your KDSP2.

I may purchase one soon, and am curious what you mean by artifacts it generates due to digital processing. 

What are the artifacts?

Thanks & 73,
