Ditto the diversity receive. I use stereo speakers on the line output of my K3 into Creative Labs triple tweeters per channel and a central subwoofer. I use a third speaker out of the speaker output in mono mode which is a combination of the stereo channels. I use two 75 meter dipoles, one 25 feet above the other and they are not in the identical plan or side slopes. Incredible receiving experience. Not cheap but I cannot believe my ears. What a difference. My whole desk is filled with sound... about 4 foot of it. Diversity is incredible.
I run an ALS 600s amp and I can work what I can hear. Even the guys running 100 watts or less at distance. This setup extends my effective range with more than just QRO operators. This is also a benefit of the fine Elecraft engineering. I don't even work for these guys and they are effectively tapping into my life savings! :-) This is a sweet setup, the best in my hamming experience from 1960 and I have had experiences which were quite a step up in technology. This is in the stratosphere for me. 73, Bill K9YEQ K2 #35; KX1 #35; K3 #1744; mini mods ATS-3B -----Original Message----- Here's a recent eHam review of the K3 by a former 897D owner: ############################################# WA9VEE: I have had my K3 #2717 for over 2 months now. I came from a FT897D, so I was easy to impress. I’m only adding this review to highlight the Diversity Receive feature that links the 2 receivers together to use 2 independent antennas (only one way ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
