I think Mr. Harper has hit the nail squarely on the head with this comment:
>I think our expectations of the K3 are based largely on >what we migrated to the K3 from. Its the same expectation that I have for transmit audio punch. It took me six months to feel comfortable with my audio settings on TX, and a lot of playing ensued. I learned a lot, too! While I would like to see some of my pet "additions" that I think are "important" be implemented, it doesnt sound so bad now, and reality states that there is just so much that can be implemented in the DSP; Im on my own to solve my perceived problems, real or imagined. There is no perfect rig. This one is close, but its not perfect, and never will be. Where once there was crackly receiver intermod products, now we hear clicking and "blur/mush". Not saying its not real, just saying it is an artifact of this technology's design and our own perceptions. If it can be fixed or mitigated, then great! If it cant, then we have to either live with it or buy something else. I had a boss who's favorite saying was "Perception is Reality". He is right. And I dont think a lot of this will be replicated in a lab either. Its as much perceived as it is real; we are all learning how to work in this new digital domain. Its going to take us a while to get our collective heads around it. I will record ARRL 10 as well, Im mixed mode, too. -lu-W4LT- ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
