I am pleased to say that K3 serial number 128 is built and working. The
build process took a little longer than expected (10 hours) but as this
was my first Elecraft kit I progressed slowly and surely. No major
issues were encountered and the radio worked first time. I have a few
photos of the build process and some comments on the radio at
http://www.g4zfe.com/K3.html
The wait was long but worth it.I am most impressed by the selectivity
and look forward to using the K3 in a contest.
I started off with DSP version 1.43 and I was very impressed by the
Noise Reduction facility as I live in an electrically noisy suburban
area. The NR made listening so much easier on the ears although care was
needed as too high a NR value would result in weaker CW stations not
being heard at all! I have now upgraded to DSP version 1.45 (plus MCU
1.48) and the NR feature seems to not work as well. I have tried the
higher settings (3 and 4) of all NR 4 modes in CW and the noise
reduction doesn't seem to be working as well as before. Has anyone else
noticed this?
