[Elecraft] K3: 4.51 vs WPX CW

[Ralph Parker]

Setting up the K3's new 4.51 AGC, I took an average of the THR and SLP
settings some of the guys were using. I had to do a few minor adjustments
to prevent the strong signals from hurting my ears.

By Saturday night, I realized that I never had a 'click' problem from anyone!
Non solam sed etiam (gotta find some use for my high-school Latin), I
noticed that I had been operating with the NB on most of the afternoon, in
spite of which all sigs sounded good (certainly lot like 'before', when the
clix drove me crazy, and the NB chopped the signals up). I turned off the
NB, and discovered that it had been eliminating some hash from the neighbours!
Holy mackinaw - it works!

So: what a tremendous difference! This is the K3 I expected when I bought it!
Tnx to the Elecraft crew for their efforts!!!!!!!!!!
Anybody who hasn't tried it yet is in for a pleasant surprise.

I'm doing SO-15m, so I have the night off.
CU all in the pileups tomorrow.

Ralph, VE7XF, a very happy customer.
