[Elecraft] K3S - My Status

[Jerry Moore]

Wow about sums it up. Prior to purchase I was told that the K3S would NOT
solve the high noise levels at my QTH and that it wouldn't affect my ability
to hear.

 

The oscillator arrived Saturday afternoon, was installed and I did the low
power calibrations. 

I connected an antenna and the noise floor is indeed the same as before with
one HUGE exception. I can actually hear and clearly receive signals MUCH
BETTER than I could before. 

 

Now it's just a matter of learning to leverage the radio's strengths and
follow all menus down their respective rabbit holes. I'm finding the DSP to
have many different settings and have yet to learn what's configurable. The
depth and ability out of the box for this radio is well worth the cost and
is definitely valuable.
