Re: [Elecraft] Source for K3 weighted knobs

Honestly VFO A is perfect with the neoprene ring, but VFO B is a just a tad too small and needs a neoprene ring too, IMHO.  For my taste, a neoprene ring for VFO B would solve the size issue.  But then, I am just a user of the product.   :-) 73, Bob/AA6VB From: Wayne Burdick

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Neoprene ring

Hi Fred, No need to remove the knob.  Just remove the existing rubber ring (use a small toothpick or something that won't scratch the knob)to make space between the knob and rubber until you can grip the rubber) and replace it with the new one.  That's how I did it. Good luck, Bob/AA6VB

Re: [Elecraft] K3S In-Depth Review Coming Soon?

The recent ARRL review of the upgraded synthesizer performance is available in the current issue of QST. That, by far, is the biggest change in the K3S vs. the K3 (not that there aren't other changes, such as cw performance, LF rx, etc.) 73, Bob/AA6VB From: Mike K2MK

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

Bill, I upgraded the synth and have not noticed any difference whatsoever.  That is not to say there is none, only that I could not tell any difference since I could not do any A/B comparisons. I am very skeptical of those who claim to have noticed a difference without having done an actual A/B

Re: [Elecraft] 200 Hz 5-pole filter

Agreed (but not meaningless)!   The additional narrow cw filters clearly provide a BIG improvement over the wider SSB Filters(e.g., the 400 HZ filter shows a 16 db improvement in 3IMDDR and 35 db improvement in BDR over the stock 2700 Hz SSB Filters).  Meaning it is very helpful to cw operators

Thanks for the figures. I am trying to understand the amount of improvement we can expect.  According to the ARRL Review in January 2009 the IMDDR was 106/103 dbm at 2 KHZ but the Reciprocal Mixing was -86dbc at 2KHZ offset with 500 HZ bandwidth.   The new synthesizer has essential the SAME
