This discussion reminds me of how fatiguing I found the TS-950S to use. I could not do a contest without getting a splitting headache.
The K2 helped me figure out why, one day after yet again mucking about with BFO settings & dealing with lumpy/bumpy filter passband & impossible quest to reasonably balance sound with high & low-side BFO injection, I inadvertently put an audio spectrum analyzer on the 950's output. Now this is from sample of quantity one, but that 950 had energy in its audio output well above bandwidth of interest. The K2 did not, nor did an IC-765 I was also using at the time. Only the 950 was literally painful to use after as short a time as a few hours. The K3 apparently has the same sort of energy on its audio output, but because it is so many dB down, when the news broke it was dismissed as a non-issue. Some folks have better hearing than others. Reproduction of the sound can also vary due to differences in speakers & headphones. All the variables could add together enough to reach the point where the effect is noticeable; they just as easily combine to something less. I hope Elecraft looks at issues like this more objectively than its user community appears to sometimes. And cheers to those who will say what some don't want to hear, is the only way things can get sorted out. 73, ex-VR2BG/p. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
