Ruben Low frequency audio has been extended and some high frequency artifacts have been reduced on the K3. If you are an SSB only operator, selectivity won't matter much. For cw, the narrow roofing filters will prevent the hardware AGC from reducing gain when a strong signal is just outside the DSP's bandpass. Example....If you only have the 2.7 filter but have the DSP set for 200Hz width and a strong signal is 2 Khz away, your hardware AGC may activate and reduce the overall gain making it difficult to copy the desired signal. That's what roofing filters are for. The ICOMS basically don't have a roofing filter worth mentioning. Yes, the advertise 3 KHZ but that will do you good whatsoever under conditions just described. Finally, the scope on the ICOMS is nice but the LP-PAN external unit is far superior and so will be the planned P3. 73 Steve N4LQ [email protected] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ruben Navarro Huedo" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 05, 2010 6:16 PM Subject: [Elecraft] K3: Thinking return to K3.
Hello friends: I am Ruben from Spain. Around 10 months ago i owned a K3/100 with ATU and original 2.7 filter. I tested it around 2 months and after that i sold it. At that moment i didn't like its audio (very crispy for me) and selectivity with 2.7 filter wasn't better than my old 756pro2. Now i am thinking buy again one K3, but this time with better filters and voice keyer. I my options is also an IC-7600. I think this question has been done lots of times in this list, but excuse me, i have to ask... What do you think? Is audio better in last units? With better filters... A lot better selectivity? Your coments are very helper for my choice. Has anybody tested a k3 and 7600 at same time? Thank's a lot friends and happy 2010. -- Rubén Navarro Huedo - EA5BZ http://www.palotes.com ______________________________________________________________ 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message.
