Dick,
You are right about the s-meter of the FT1K. Under S8 it cannot be trusted. That is a fact. When I measured this on my MP a signal drop op 3 s-points resulted in going from s8 to s1 or so on the meter, so that's about the same as you see with yours. About the noise, I have done a comparison this morning. Both rigs sound different but my impression is that the rigs hear equally well. With the K3 on default settings, its produces a sound that I do not like. I tailored the RX audio with the RX-equalizer and it sounds more pleasant to my ears now. Setting the IF filtering takes care of the rest. Try playing around with those tools and see (hear) what you get then. 73 Arie PA3A ______________________________________________________________ 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
