[Elecraft] K3: Any gain with a new synth?

[Chortek Bob via Elecraft]

Bill,
I upgraded the synth and have not noticed any difference whatsoever.  That is not to say there is none, only that I could not tell any difference since I could not do any A/B comparisons. I am very skeptical of those who claim to have noticed a difference without having done an actual A/B comparisons.  Far too many factors at play.
The K3 is a truly exceptional performer.  For your uses, you would not notice any difference either, IMHO.
73,
Bob/AA6VB
