[Elecraft] New K3 Syn

[Chester Alderman]

Hi John,

I can't do that just yet but I will when I get my new K3. Improved full QSK
and better close in signal rejection during contest are also my primary
interest, so it will be interesting to finally get the new rig and test for
those issues.

I got my original K3 in 2010 and decided since I sure would like to have the
new synthesizers and since I had never installed any of the Elecraft
upgrades/updates, I would sell the old one and buy a new one. The actual
cost output for a new K3, with everything updated, was very reasonable. Even
though my credit card was charged the day after I placed my order, I did not
hear anything from Elecraft, so I sent them an email yesterday for status
update. It turned out that there is a 'delay' due to some small part out of
stock, but my new "K4" should be shipped next week. [I say "K4" because any
other manufacturer would have come out with a 'new' radio and we are
fortunate to get this 'serious' upgrade as such!] So after I can do some
test, I will make an audio recording and send it to you and Vidi.

73,

Don, all,
Discussed this upgrade with Vidi ZS1EL yesterday. Given the already
excellent K3 RX, ours and presumably others' primary interest is improved
QSK, including the new mode reported to reduce clicks/pops at the expense of
a little slower QSK. Could someone with the upgrade installed create and
make available an audio file of the receiver output while transmitting CW
circa 30-40 WPM?  Hearing what it actually sounds like will help with the
decision to buy. 
Thanks & 73,
