I've heard rumours that there have been a few hardware mods made to the K3, unannounced on this list. They may or may not include changes to lower TX spurii on 5MHz, a mod to improve TX/RX turnaround times for modes like Amtor, and one to improve still further the close-in IMD performance. These mods would involve changes to SMD components on the board, so making them would be beyond the skills of most of us. The IMD mod has apparently been done on the ARRL's test rig, so the figures that are eventually reported in QST won't apply to those of us with unmodified rigs.
When you do get to order your K3, it will have all those mods incorporated, so you'll have a better rig than those who have one now. ----- Julian, G4ILO K3 s/n: 222 K2 s/n: 392 G4ILO's Shack: www.g4ilo.com Zerobeat Ham Forums: www.zerobeat.net/smf -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/K3-Build-Comments-tp15683336p15710215.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
