I agree with Dwight's description of the new synthesizers in the K3. I also did a few hours in the WPX contest, where the QRM can get bad, but this time, no one could sneak up close to me to take over the QRG and I was able to log a little over 1000 QSO's. Loud signals certainly were less of a problem than before. I have also tested the high speed full QSK (up to 90 wpm) and it is working so much better. As Dwight says " Highly recommended up-grade! Thanks Elecraft!".

I did participate, part time, but weathered thru about 1000 q's. Received both boards and installed about 3 hours before the contest. I was amazed how close qrm could be to a weak signal and not affect it at all. Noticeable difference from the old boards indeed! Plus the rig seems quieter as well, again great for the weaker signals. A long as the qrm wasn't on the exact same frequency, I was able to filter them out to hear the signal of interest! Nice having a qrm-less rig! Don't have any idea how it would do on ssb. I won't find out either, being primarily a cw and digital operator! Highly recommended up-grade! Thanks Elecraft! 73 Dwight NS9I On 6/3/2015 6:17 PM, Mike Weir wrote: > Good evening to the group, I was not able to participate last weekend in the CQ WPX CW contest but I was wondering from those of you who did and had the new KSYN3A synthesizer board in your K3's.......how was the performance ?
