Probably be like taking your 1967 Camaro out for a test drive It. Even a bottom end econobox handles better these days. (Maybe not as fast, but a helluva more "zippy".)
The S-Line was used in a different time and literally can't hold a candle to much of anything made in the 21st century. Don't get me wrong, I LUV boatanchor radios, Collins especially, but their rating on Rob's list make it painfully clear as to their performance. 73, Charlie k3ICH PS, Yes I DID own a 327/4spd 1967 Camaro convertible and my wife (girl-friend at the time) had '68 with the Bee-Nose stripe. Mine had a 2.73:1 rear end and would bang the speedo past 120 MPH. 3 - 4 shift point was around 95 MPH. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Henry Pollock - K4TMC Sent: Monday, June 04, 2018 8:49 AM To: Ron Genovesi <[email protected]> Cc: Bill <[email protected]>; Elecraft Reflector <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Compare: K3 to Collins S-line receiver Yes, I would like to here what others can add to this thread. One of my past hobbies was high-end tube audio electronics, and in numerous set-ups, they sounded superior to solid-state equipment. So, my additional question would be...is the microprocessor noise/distortion affecting the RF signal or just the AF signal, or both? 73, Henry - K4TMC On Sun, Jun 3, 2018 at 7:46 PM, Ron Genovesi <[email protected]> wrote: > I’m interested.
