[Elecraft] KX3 Audio Compressor

[David Ahrendts]

Wayne, I am loving the KX3, KXPA100 combo and have it now balanced and operating virtually 100% into an Ameritron ALS-600S. And the Dr. Dre’s, I am cooking! :—) On the audio thread, I also noticed a huge audio difference between the Heil Gold Elite and the Elecraft MH-3. While the Heil was a producing a beefy, rich audio presence, the MH-3 was present but quite thin by comparison. I know these are subjective comparisons and there is no doubt the audio shaping has been successful for lots of people, I’m just compelled to raise the bar a little bit on audio shaping. Just my preference for routine contacts. Love the rig.
