You need to consider that they are comparing the K3 to a Kenwood TS-850SAT which has more punch than almost any other transceiver. The TS-850 has a system called High Boost which shapes the audio to put more power into the higher audio frequencies and a very good speech processor. I don't have a K3 yet but I speculate that with the audio shaping features the TS-850 can be duplicated by setting the bass low and the treble high.
The TS-850SAT is a favorite of SSB contesters because of this audio out of the box and a receiver which is better than most. It does not say anything against the K3 that the Bavarian Contesters and others including myself have stretched the use of our TS-850s to nearly 20 years while we waited for someone to develop the Elecraft K3. --- G4ILO <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Both Toby and onee of his colleagues make the point > that the K3 SSB is not as > "strong" as it could be. > _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
