Re: [Elecraft] Re: Re: K3 DIY DSP Rev D - please elaborate

2010-01-01 Thread Brett Howard
Honestly I didn't think I was hearing all that much in the way of
artifacts and I even recorded audio from the K3 and applied filtering to
it and didn't really hear a lot of A/B comparison difference.

However I noticed that the audio is MUCH less fatiguing when listening
to the K3 since I installed the LP daughter board on my DSP board.

You will not receive any benefit from the revision.  You don't have a
K3 to install it in.

73 and best regards to you and your family in the new year.

Johnny I believe I can safely say absolutely ZERO difference in major specs
like BDR, MDS, IMDDR3, etc.  These are all determined well ahead of the DSP
audio stage.  I believe the main difference is in audio bandwidth
only...extension of the low end response and attenuation of high end DSP
artifacts.  If you like ESSB or are bothered by the 12 kHz artifacts, then
you might want the mod.  

Personally I'm waiting for someone with two units (one with the mod and one
without) to post some audio recordings before I go to the bother and expense
of this mod.  BTW I have done ALL other mods but I'm not at all convinced
this one will make any difference to me since I don't do ESSB and I don't
hear any artifacts in the headphones I use, even though a hearing test
confirms I still have good hearing at high frequencies.

73 & HNY!
