[Elecraft] [K3 / K3S] KIO3B NF

[Joel Black]

After the dust settles with all the new K3Ss being ordered, I’d like to hear from some digital operators what your impressions are of the KIO3B - specifically reception and NF levels.

I am currently using a CreativeLabs E-MU 0204 and have a low NF (I don’t remember exactly) and can decode JT65 on HF down to -25 to -26. I just recently modded a SignaLink USB and and decoding down to a -23 (so far).

I guess my thoughts are that if the KIO3B has a comparable NF, I’ll just get rid of all my external devices and further consolidate into one piece of equipment.
