Howard In the 18 months since my K3 arrived, there have been a few hardware mods... They are all relatively easy to implement, I can't say that any of the hardware mods have made a huge difference, not even the hardware AGC mod. The only one still in the pipeline (I think there's only one) appears to be the audio low pass filter board, so you will soon be able to order a K3 safe in the knowledge that it's pretty much there as regards hardware!
BTW, I have an MFJ-1026 and they aren't much use against wideband "hash" which plagues the lower bands in summer. It's not the fault of the MFJ and similar units, it's the noise that doesn't radiate from a point source. The noise reduction in the K3 is effective to some extent, but it's not a substitute for a quiet location. 73 Dave, G4AON K3/100 #80 (with all current hardware mods) ---------------------------------------------- HowardZ wrote: <SNIP> But alas - I don't feel the radio is finished - hardware wise. Icom, Flex, Elecraft - they all have downloadable firmware/software - I'm not afraid of new software releases. Hardware mods - yep - I don't want to deal with them. <SNIP> Maybe a MFJ 1026? Maybe a beverage antenna? Maybe if all the MARS members purchase a 500 watt transmitter? Nosie noise nosie... ______________________________________________________________ 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
