[Elecraft] CQ WPX and the KSYN3A board?

[Chester Alderman]

I agree with Dwight's description of the new synthesizers in the K3. I also
did a few hours in the WPX contest, where the QRM can get bad, but this
time, no one could sneak up close to me to take over the QRG and I was able
to log a little over 1000 QSO's. Loud signals certainly were less of a
problem than before. I have also tested the high speed full QSK (up to 90
wpm) and it is working so much better.
As Dwight says " Highly recommended up-grade! Thanks Elecraft!".

I did participate, part time, but weathered thru about 1000 q's. 
Received both boards and installed about 3 hours before the contest.

I was amazed how close qrm could be to a weak signal and not affect it at
all. Noticeable difference from the old boards indeed! Plus the rig seems
quieter as well, again great for the weaker signals. A long as the qrm
wasn't on the exact same frequency,  I was able to filter them out to hear
the signal of interest!

Nice having a qrm-less rig! Don't have any idea how it would do on ssb. 
I won't find out either, being primarily a cw and digital operator!

Highly recommended up-grade! Thanks Elecraft!

the new KSYN3A synthesizer board in your K3's.......how was the performance
? What did you notice compared to the old synthesizer board?
