Yes, the new KSYN3A synthesizer board is also good for SSB. Perhaps, it should be the most valuable upgrade to K3. If you don't have the funds for K3S, just do this upgrade, then over say 99% of the time you can't distinguish between a K3 Vs K3S

Andy,
I don't have a YouTube video but when I put the new synth boards in my three
K3 (not K3S) rigs I found that I was able to handle close by signals better.
I'm mostly a CW contest guy so I can't say what SSB is like but a CW contest
seems to be less crowded now. I know that is purely subjective and I have
no numbers of my own to support that but the published numbers and graphs
I've seen from others match what I am hearing. I'm also happy that the new
synth boards help make my transmit signal cleaner as well. I had a friend
record my signal when I was next to a "dirty" CW signal in a recent contest
and the difference is striking. Yes, $250 USD is very expensive but I felt
it was well worth the cost. After the CW keying issue improvement, I feel
like this synth upgrade is the most important improvement for me.

Has anyone compare rx K3 vs K3 with a new synth ( K3S) by the A / B
switch metode ?
As heard issued abt 250 usd ( KSYN3A) , what is the difference?
Where can I find a movie with such comparisons, cant find on youtube.
