I think a little peace and quiet on the reflector is a good thing. No traffic from the factory is a good thing, they are not sitting with their feet up and looking for something to do, so quiet means things are busy and moving along.
I would like to mention I received my DSP upgrade board in Fridays mail, had ordered it on Nov 25 for those who are waiting and wondering. Install went swift and easy, a 30 minute job, and my old one is in the box and on the way back so someone else can get one after mines reworked. It took much longer to install the stainless steel kit I also ordered, Like to thank Elecraft for a super job of putting together a very complete kit of stainless for the K3. Being here in salt air my black screws were turning a slight brown already after a little over a year in service. Did a couple other mods to bring number 2603 up to the latest and greatest. Dont ask me if I have a new radio, some here have posted that after the DSP installation they had a new radio, sorry dont be influenced by that to buy the upgrade, I can hear lower audio tones better if I set the shift lower or the pitch lower, but I do not hear any real earth moving changes. I updated more to keep the K3 up to date for future sales, or other updates that may require the newer DSP board changes. If you have good hearing the high freq (15khz) noise is gone due to the filter board installed on the DSP board. If you are happy with the sound of your K3 as is, dont bother with the upgrade, you wont be working any new DX because of it. All in all another good job by Elecraft. 73 Merv KH7C ______________________________________________________________ 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
