[Elecraft] more Bass in K3 with PR-40

[Bob Stevens]

I agree with Bill; I ran a Collins S-line for 35 years before entering the
21st century this year with a K3, and people talked about Collins sounding
so good-Art Collins was (is) not trying to sound like a broadcast station
but wanted to be able to communicate effectively-that's the real purpose of
our stations. Just my 2 cents worth, 73, Bob K9ING

I really think this thread has been about hams wanting to sound like the
announcer on the big time radio station with a million dollar transmitter
and a studio.  That kind of sound is not really in the realm of amateur
communications, nor the budget.  We'd need a different license to sound that
way.


My $0.02 worth....
