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

[Brian Hemmis]

That’s kind of what I’ve been thinking too, Bill. With my often high noise level suburban location combined with modest wire and vertical antennas I think it would be overkill and not worth the investment. As it is I often joke that the K3 for me like driving a McLaren to the grocery store-way more than I need. That said I’m not parting with it ! Thanks Elecraft for at least giving us the upgrade option.
