[Elecraft] KSYN3A

[Doug Turnbull]

Dear OMs,
    In no way would I part with my sub-receiver.   I operate 160M and find
diversity reception a considerable help.    I also like the ability to tune
the second receiver through a pile up extending 20KhZ and sometimes offset
nearly 100 KHz.

     The sub-receiver is not needed by most people and I would not wish to
over specify some ones radio - the K3 is affordable in the basic
configuration and an excellent performer.   Modular design allows one to
update and upgrade - which is just fine.

      Like a few other fortunate souls I have two K3s and if the new KSYN3A
is enough of an advance then I will first upgrade one radio then the other.


       A few interesting questions have been asked - is there any advantage
for JT-65 with the new board?    Sadly though CW is my mode; my speed is not
at 35 WPM for rag chews.   Maybe at times 30 WPM but not 35 WPM plus.    The
improvements may prove useful for CW contests - this will convince me.   As
pointed out previously SSB signals are so lousy from many radios that the
improved receiver performance might not be noticed.   So I am waiting to see
what other report but I am keen.    

       I do not want a K4 and it delights me to see this enlightened
attitude by Elecraft to improving and extending product life.   This is not
the norm.   An old Yankee maxim is, "Use it up; Fix it up; Make do; Do
without" Elecraft should appeal to the six North Eastern States.

The most cost effective thing to do is to remove the sub-receive and save
$200 bucks and upgrade the main synth only. I can see a lot of second
receivers on eBay.
