[Elecraft] K3S audio board for K3 upgrade?

[Jim Bolit]

My TS-480 also sounds better than my K3.  My K3 was sent back to factory to
see if there was an audio issue with my particular K3.  They compared mine
to a factory unit, using an audio spectrum analyzer and noted that my K3 and
a new factory K3 were "the same".

The TS-480 just sounds better to these ears.

Oh, and it is magic........

I have always felt the K3 was a looser in the audio department - but, with
the many menu settings available - most of the problem can be mitigated.

There a lot of things that can be done with the menu settings on the K3
(presumably on the K3S also) that effect the RX audio - EQ settings, AGC
settings, etc. I have posted my favorite settings in the past - it took
weeks and weeks of tinkering to find settings for common armchair copy
listening. I do use Behringer MS40 speakers also (no RF problems ever
experienced).

The really sad part: My Kenwood TS480 out "sounds" my K3 right out of the
box. Just saying a fact, so no flames please.
