Bill, For your usage, I would not even worry about replacing the K3 with a K3S. Just upgrade the synthesizer, and that is about all you will need for Rag Chewing, etc... Now, if you decide to start hunting DX, etc, then you might start to worry... I have a comparison between the old and new

Al, Let me pose a set of conditions, and see if I understand this... Is the smearing caused mostly by the phase noise sidebands, as a resultant of phase flicker? i.e. If the phase noise were reduced on a transmitting VFO, then the smearing would also be reduced, because the sidebands would no

Hello, I had what I believe to be a unique opportunity to test the new synthesizer in a high signal level environment, under some controlled conditions. K7OLN lives about 750 feet from me, and we both have static antenna setups, and because he is running WSPR K7OLN also has static power levels
