[Elecraft] K3S In-Depth Review Coming Soon?

[John Pierce]

​

Audio quality seems to be a very individual matter of taste.   The language
of audiophiles looks to be rivaled only by that of wine experts in trying
to describe their taste.  Radio communication audio doesn't have near that
complexity, but there does still seem to be a lot of personal taste
involved.


I have a K3 that I purchased about 6 years ago.  It has had all the update
mods done to it (except for the KSYN3A upgrade).  I also own a half dozen
other RX, most of them of high quality. After setting the RX audio
equalizer on the K3 to my own preference, I find that it is the easiest to
understand and most pleasing RX audio of any of my receivers.
