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

[Mike VE3YF]

Bill:

I just finished installing the new boards in both my K3's. I did one 
radio complete and then did a quick test on 80m and 20m with both 
radios. I found the new boards quiets the receiver
down somewhat and makes it easier to pull out the weaker signals. I 
have pretty quiet conditions at my QTH, all utilities are underground.

My simple test was comparing Rig A (New KSYN3A boards installed) to 
Rig B (Old KSYN3 boards installed). I have not done any real tests to 
further evaluate the new boards, but in my
case they have helped somewhat....


Maybe the new boards do really help, or perhaps it was me sub 
consciously wanting to believe that to justify the cost.
