For a CW signal with clicks at the break side (like the majority)
the faster you key the stronger and wider will the click bandwith
be. This can clearly be heard every day on the ham bands.

TX IMD
Doesn´t seem to be a fix. My K3 is just about the same.

Ok, so it is feature!
Yes I have adjust MIC and CMP just like manual, not effect. So there is no

When tuning for example across an AM band (like 49m band)
it does not happen on all stations. Might be that it
happens on some certain frequency interval but still
quite frequent.
I have not done experiments with different tuning steps,
maybe I should. Will try it when I get back home next
No I have the RX EQ flat at 0, will test when I
get back home.

Can be correct Jim,
If I remember correctly VCO jump intervals are larger than 5kHz SWBC
raster.
(have you tried reducing RX EQ band 1 ? That might make this symptom less
obvious)
Yes I suppose that´s what it is. Well it´s been like that
from day one, think I have SNR 1594 so it´s been a while.
I always been upset about it since IMO a high performance
radio shouldn´t behave like this. However I just haven´t
had time to look in to it further. Maybe it´s faulty after
all.

When tuning across an AM station there are
clicks and cracks, seems to be on even kHz.
On my radio it has been from day one. Is
this normal or is my radio faulty?
I use latest FW.

Beats me why Elecraft can´t present the facts, I´m sure
they have measured since I bet they know how to.

That will come out to 160W PEP on the K3 and 1600W PEP
on the amp. I would not set the K3 to more then 25W
(i e 100W PEP). Don´t know how much the AL80B can handle
but 1600W PEP sounds to be too much.

Yes I will use a K3, will be on for a few hours now

Well I never found the FT1000D peak filter that great, decent yes,
all subjective of cource.
I remember when I had a Drake 2B with 2BQ Q-mult, that was nice,
you sure could peak signals up out of nowhere.
But sure a peak filter could be nice to try.
Happy New Year / Jim SM2EKM
Indeed!, Doug got this right.
In a previous msg I did say why not but thinking more
about it, after reading this, I will agree that it´s not
needed.
Too many darn functions to fiddle with anyway, enough
is enough.
As I stated in a previous message, fix the flaws and
get done with it, the K3 is a
This is what I like to see:
1. Pritty much no more features just refine and work
on what´s already there, refine the design.
2. Better S-meter resolution, 5 dB not good enough.
3. Possibility to adjust CW keyed envelope rise and
fall time. Think it´s 5 ms now so lets say 5 - 8 ms
There sure are a lot of workarounds with the K3, the
list is quite long by now.

Well something isn´t right or different from other radios.
There are radios with lower MDS that sounds much quieter then
the K3.
Here we have proposals to turn of preamp and make MDS even
higher. Not logical and state of the art to me.
So again, I know there are receivers with lower MDS then the
