This has been an interesting thread to which I have experimented a bit more and found the AGC setting recommendations from a couple of posters to be very valuable, and Eric's suggestions on BW settings to be a nice compliment to play with. Although, my ears still like a little HF, I like the sound of a BW from 100hz to 2.7khz for SSB and usually the 500hz filter set to 300hz with DSP. I now have AGC THR set to max and AGC SLP set to 0. I also set RX EQ to flat and use hi/lo cut when needed. Really cuts down on the high frequency hash I get from this qth. I leave the AGC settings the same for SSB and CW and play with BW and cut between the two modes, depending on conditions.
I've never ever put any stock into any manufacturers built in speakers. They are there cause they have to be :) For the K3S I use a combination of a pair of Polk Audio 5 1/4" book shelf speakers (60hz-24kz) and Pyle Pro 3" mini cube speakers (90hz -18khz), per channel, and the sound is crisp and clear audio. And, both speaker sets are black to match the K3S and all together for all 4 speakers cost was $75.00 and change. The AGC settings were a big game changer to these old ears. 73 Gene, N9TF K3S 10057 -----Original Message----- From: Elecraft [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jim Brown Sent: Tuesday, March 22, 2016 4:11 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3S audio board for K3 upgrade?

Yes, excellent AF response, very nice for recording, but massive overkill. I have a pair as well. BUT -- they are also RFI dogs. Keying a 5W 2M talkie across the room will cause their woofers to move enough that you'll clearly see it, and they're also susceptible at some HF frequencies. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ 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] ______________________________________________________________ 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]
