Hi all, the Elecraft K3 is reputed one of the best commercial transceivers available to the amateur radio. Well, as you may read the following mail I received a couple of days ago, there is still something to squeeze out of it. Best 73 Gian I7SWX Sabato 23 Febbraio 2013 23:02 A Modified K3 in the 2013 ARRL DX Contest Giancarlo,
I did a test in the 2013 ARRL DX contest. At LX7I we had 2 x K3 on the same antenna, locked out with the Acom 2S1 box. One of the K3 had the I7SWX K3 2T H-Mode Mixer installed, the other K3 was in original state. I did not tell about the difference to anybody but after the contest one of the operators told me I should check the K3 because there were weak stations that he could hear with one K3 (the modified one) and could not hear them with the other K (the original K3). LX7I has large/high antennas, see www.lx2a.com So yes your mixer gives a slight and sometimes decisive advantage, congrats.
