[Elecraft] K3 RX Audio

[Edward Dickinson III]

Good quality transmit audio, be it from outboard processing gear or other
needn't consume excessive bandwidth, though some does.  Nor does it need to
be excessive in any of its characteristics.  

 

I appreciate quality receive audio beyond that of simply 'communications
quality.'  I routinely run my K3 filters on receive at 2.4 and 2.4 kHz and
roll off the high end to avoid sound that I don't care to hear.   There are
occasions where I open it up to 2.8 or 3.0 kHz when signal to noise ratios
are high and the audio I am listening to justifies it.  Usually those cases
are few.

 

I don't pretend to know all the issues in the receive chain of audio, but I
do think improved audio can be found for not a lot of cost in terms of
design and components.

 

It seems the dressed down style of Silicon Valley is now near ubiquitous.
