Interesting point about about the DSP in the KX3. I was told at Dayton that the DSP in the KX3 was several generations newer than what we have in the K3.
With the audio problems Elecraft has had on the board (additional daughter card) and the continued continued complaints about audio distortion (Sherwood), maybe they will redesign the card with the newest DSP generation and offer it to K3 owners as an upgrade. Of course, this would lead to some interesting DSP firmware distribution problems with different hardware platforms to support! - 73, John, N0TA [Elecraft] DSP Noise Reduction and contesting Johnny Siu Wed, 07 Nov 2012 07:59:57 -0800 Hello Tony, I concur with your observation. In SSB, the NR in Icom is far better. Among all the 8 x 4 = 32 choices in NR settings in K3, I am afraid that none of them is as good as that of NR of Icom in SSB. The success of the implementation of IF DSP will depend on: 1. the processing power of the DSP chip set; 2. the ability to write an efficent firmware to optimise the performance of the DSP chip set. Surprisingly, while I was told that the NR in KX3 was the same as that in K3, I feel the NR in KX3 sounds better and less artifact. I trust elecraft keeps on looking for ways to improve the NR performance.
