Lyle hit it head on. All QRP radios that really need punch lack don't have RF speech processor or an equalizer. With speech processor, KX3 can sound like a 4 times stronger radio. With poor mic that Kx3 can equalize, even more than that. My guestimate 10W of KX3 may approach readability of IC-7000 with stock mic.
KX3 may be the most efficient QRP SSB radio ever produced. If I have one question is why won't it have Li-Ion batteries. Either 3 Li-Ion (12.6 V max) or 4 LIFEPO of 15.2V max. Perhaps it is due to safety or liability. I use Li-Ion in K3, and it is much lighter with higher peak current. Ignacy, currently OZ/NO9E/p Note that the KX3 will have an effective SSB clipper/compressor/processor to give an average of at least 6 dB of "talk power" without significant impairment of the speech quality, making 10W seem like 25 or more to the receiving station. 73, Lyle KK7P > -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Still-lacking-tp6419804p6426781.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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
