I consider myself a casual operator. I get on when I can, avoid the contests, rag chew a lot, and have fun. I mostly work SSB with my K3 but am working on code speed. I use WIN4K3 as a control program and panadaptor. These differences are purely subjective and without measurement. All computer controls unchanged and K3 controls returned to previous settings. Before going to the new synth I had a no signal noise floor S meter reading of 4 or 5, occasionally 6 The panadaptor background had scattered 'clutter' noise and I could see very close adjacent signals but not read them. The noise floor 'line' on the display was at about -102 db and 4 to 6 db wide peak to peak After the mod I had a no signal noise floor S-meter reading of 2 to 3 sometimes 4 The panadaptor background was much clearer, signals more distinct and close together signals were easier to separate and copy The noise floor line was at -106 to -108 and the line was thinner by a couple db. Just my observations and YMMV 73, PJH, N7PXY ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net
