[Elecraft] K3 DSP processor speed

[Al Gulseth]

Watch it Wayne, you almost made me do the proverbial spew on the keyboard with 
that one HI HI!!

OTOH, a ham friend of mine a long time ago briefly lived in a trailer park 
while he was going through some marital difficulties. He had his Swan 350 set 
up there. A next trailer neighbor of his liked to listen to a rock FM station 
at high volume fairly early in the morning. My friend told me that he'd 
noticed a "swish" from the neighbor's stereo on a certain frequency when 
tuning across 15M. One morning he got tired of the neighbor's concert, turned 
on the Swan, moved down the band a ways and loaded it "full tilt", carefully 
zero beat the suspect frequency, keyed the mic, and yelled "bleaah" or some 
such into it. (He claimed he could hear himself coming through the neighbor's 
stereo.) The rock station volume immediately went down and he never heard it 
turned back up the rest of the time he lived there. Maybe Elecraft needs to 
do some research to see if there are some frequencies where the KPA500 would 
be effective in this way against nearby teen house parties ;-) However, I 
doubt it would be effective against earthquakes though....
