The K3 has wonderful arm chair audio. Even though you can adjust the audio in the menu, I use a S/W program K3_EZ that can set up your K3 without going in the menu. You can set both receive and transmit audio. I also run the K3 through an amplifier that feeds two great book case speakers mounted on the wall pointed at me. That's for SSB and AM. I use head phones for CW. I've owned mine for 4 years and wouldn't ever trade or sell it. Just ordered the KPA500. Get another and be pleased every day. Licensed 62 years.

Everything about it worked fine except that it seemed that I could never quite adjust the sound of a person on SSB to the point where it was a pleasant, (what I call) "mellow", armchair-type copy. It seemed too shrill, it had a "high edge" to it that couldn't be adjusted out. At first, I thought there was something in a menu setting or a control I was using incorrectly that wasn't allowing me to add more "lows" (if that's what you call it) that was causing the problem, but that wasn't the case. I called Elecraft and talk to people about it, but no cause could be found. I kept it for about two months then sold it. Years have gone by and I am still very impressed with the quality of your product and company and would like to put together an "Elecraft Shack". I am wondering if the changes that have taken place over the past few years in the programming of the K3 might have solved the "problem" I experienced a few years ago or maybe it is just my level of hearing that is the problem. Does anyone remember experiencing something similar with your K3 or heard about a possible solution? Thanks for any info you could provide. 73 Tom N3XQ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
