Igor,
No offense taken. The audio is very good as far as I am concerned. Then, I hope the KX3 doesn't exceed the K3performance as the cost difference and electronic construction are very different.

In fact I am very grateful to you for sharing with us your first hand impressions of this so much awaited radio. I am just genuinely interested if KX3 audio is the same or better then that of K3. I hope, when KX3 is in production, Elecraft or some of the users will measure in band IMD and come up with the figures. And I hope those figures will exceed similar specs of K3. 73, Igor UA9CDC ----- Original Message ----- From: Bill K9YEQ <mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected] Cc: 'Elecraft' <mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Friday, February 24, 2012 2:00 AM Subject: RE: [Elecraft] [KX3] KX3 update FT Igor, My hearing isn't perfect. Just ask my wife. I am using PC speakers, not headphones. My environment has fan noise... but to me they sound very similar, next to identical. I did not observe on a scope. YMMV. 73, Bill K9YEQ KX3 Field Test #12 -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Igor Sokolov Sent: Thursday, February 23, 2012 1:49 PM To: [email protected] <mailto:KX3%40yahoogroups.com> Cc: 'Elecraft' Subject: Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] KX3 update FT ----- Original Message ----- From: Bill K9YEQ >I do not generally use Software to run my Elecraft radios other than >the macros.

That is >very sweet. That is not quite what I was expecting. KX3 being SDR based should sound better then K3 because KX3 should lack in band IMD caused by non linearity of crystal filter. When I compare audio of my K3 with that of QS1R the difference is pretty noticeable. Well, sooner or later someone will measure in band IMD of KX3 and hopefully we will get objective data. 73, Igor UA9CDC __________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] <mailto:Elecraft%40mailman.qth.net> This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html __._,_.___ Reply to <mailto:[email protected]?subject=Re%3A%20%5BElecraft%5D%20%5BKX3%5D%20KX3%20 update%20FT> sender | Reply to <mailto:[email protected]?subject=Re%3A%20%5BElecraft%5D%20%5BKX3%5D%20KX3 %20update%20FT> group | Reply <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KX3/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJxZ3RrMDdvBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE 0BGdycElkAzc0NTIwOTQ3BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2MzEwOARtc2dJZAMzMDcxBHNlYwNmdHIEc2x rA3JwbHkEc3RpbWUDMTMzMDAyODE1MQ--?act=reply&messageNum=3071> via web post | <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KX3/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJmbnI0dW5qBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE 0BGdycElkAzc0NTIwOTQ3BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2MzEwOARzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNudHBjBHN0aW1 lAzEzMzAwMjgxNTE-> Start a New Topic Messages in this topic <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KX3/message/3062;_ylc=X3oDMTM1MzU4ZGk4BF9TAzk 3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzc0NTIwOTQ3BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2MzEwOARtc2dJZAMzMDcxBHNlYwN mdHIEc2xrA3Z0cGMEc3RpbWUDMTMzMDAyODE1MQR0cGNJZAMzMDYy> (5) Recent Activity: . <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KX3/members;_ylc=X3oDMTJnMzRlcHRkBF9TAzk3MzU5 NzE0BGdycElkAzc0NTIwOTQ3BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2MzEwOARzZWMDdnRsBHNsawN2bWJycwRz dGltZQMxMzMwMDI4MTUx?o=6> New Members 31 . <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KX3/spnew;_ylc=X3oDMTJnMWdqNDNoBF9TAzk3MzU5Nz E0BGdycElkAzc0NTIwOTQ3BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2MzEwOARzZWMDdnRsBHNsawN2cGhvdARzdG ltZQMxMzMwMDI4MTUx> New Photos 17 <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KX3;_ylc=X3oDMTJmNnNvNms4BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdy cElkAzc0NTIwOTQ3BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2MzEwOARzZWMDdnRsBHNsawN2Z2hwBHN0aW1lAzEz MzAwMjgxNTE-> Visit Your Group <http://groups.yahoo.com/;_ylc=X3oDMTJlc29sYWwwBF9TAzk3NDc2NTkwBGdycElkAzc0N TIwOTQ3BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2MzEwOARzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNnZnAEc3RpbWUDMTMzMDAyODE1M Q--> Yahoo!
