The new synthesizers give the K3/K3S a vast improvement in transmit
phase noise, as well as improving the receive noise floor performance by
several dB.
Both synthesizers must be the same.
I would highly recommend getting another KSYN3A board to use in your
main receiver to match the

I suggest one check the 240V wiring to confirm all connections are tight and
solid all the way from the main breaker panel to the outlet for the amp. This
includes L1, L2, Neut, and Ground. Also I would make sure there is a solid
ground between the PS cabinet and amp cabinet.
Also ,
An SWL QSL card would certainly be popular too if you could figure out
how to send the report! :-P

Back in 1960 I bought my transmitter, an Eico 720 Kit for $79.95. My receiver

The US inflation calculator says that $79.95 in 1960 is equal to about $695

There is such more sophisticated HT: Kenwood TH-D74. In addition to FM VHF/UHF

Plus, it also functions as a receiver for the HF bands, including SSB and CW.
