I can't speak to what the old was like. I just got my K3 built a few days ago and it is brand new with the new board.
I had a Flex-5000a and a 6300 I have access too. I am an avid DXer with very marginal antennas. Last night in the CWT, I hit my highest rate ever and I am blown away with this receiver. The sound and feel is incredible. I have never had a radio this good. It is hard to.describe, but it is amazing. 73 to all, Joe -------- Original message -------- From: Wayne Burdick <[email protected]> Date: 03/04/2015 11:46 PM (GMT-06:00) To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3: Sherwood Receiver Test Data question Dick, The "sensitivity" number is incorrect because the K3 Rob tested didn't have its S-meter and AGC calibrated. He's going to re-test this after the unit is calibrated. We tested a few K3s with new synths in our lab, and all of them had sensitivity very close to the first K3 Rob tested. On the contrary, the new synth reduces noise considerably over the old (as much as 20 dB lower noise at a 2-kHz offset), which only benefit all measurements. 73, Wayne N6KR On Mar 4, 2015, at 8:56 PM, Dick via Elecraft <[email protected]><mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > Please advise if I am reading the new Sherwood receiver data correctly: > > 1) it shows a nice 6-8dB improvement in 3rd order dynamic range after > adding the new synthesizer? > > 2) it shows that the K3's sensitivity has been greatly reduced from the > original 0.33 & 0.19 to 0.8 & 0.5 after the addition of the new synthesizer? > If this is true, this would be bad news for weak signal 6 & 10-m. > reception. > > 73, > Dick- K9OM > ______________________________________________________________ > 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 > Message delivered to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> ________________________________ Total Control Panel Login<https://asp.reflexion.net/login?domain=selectconnect.net> To: [email protected]<https://asp.reflexion.net/address-properties?aID=750607761&domain=selectconnect.net> From: [email protected]<https://asp.reflexion.net/address-properties?aID=3098220802&domain=selectconnect.net> Message Score: 1 High (60): Pass My Spam Blocking Level: Medium Medium (75): Pass Low (90): Pass Block<https://asp.reflexion.net/FooterAction?ver=2&bl-sender-address=1&rID=750607761&aID=3098220802&domain=selectconnect.net> this sender / Block<https://asp.reflexion.net/FooterAction?ver=2&ent=1&bl-sender-address=1&rID=750607761&aID=3098220802&domain=selectconnect.net> this sender enterprise-wide Block<https://asp.reflexion.net/FooterAction?ver=2&bl-sender-domain=1&rID=750607761&aID=3098220802&domain=selectconnect.net> mailman.qth.net / Block<https://asp.reflexion.net/FooterAction?ver=2&ent=1&bl-sender-domain=1&rID=750607761&aID=3098220802&domain=selectconnect.net> mailman.qth.net enterprise-wide This message was delivered because the content filter score did not exceed your filter level. ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
