Guess ON4UN is going to order a second radio.
Here are some diveristy recordings I made if you are interested.
This one is 40CW with a beam and beverage on each receiver:

This one is on 1590 kHz AM
of sunspots - you simply can't work Europe hardly
ever. Last week, I worked RA4LW on seven consecutive nights.

This is simply half the reason I am so excited about this radio. The other

This heatsink is much lighter and contained inside the radio. Having

Here is a sound sample from the K3. It is best listened to in Stereo.

but notice you can't hear
can clearly hear him sending TR? once and then
N6TA but suspect the dit was lost in the rapid QSB.
A rough sounding sidetone (hum on the sidetone).
Tree, I can copy you just fine, but the 3B7C station I'm catching only a
fragment of a letter here and there. I'll assume the rough sound
, for better
or worse. The point of this recording wasn't to provide a spark for
a debate about DX-pedition operating technique - but rather to give
a sample of what the K3 sounds like.
I'll try to post some more sound files from an upcoming European opening
on 160 for y'all.

I have lied to my DSP and told it that I am using a 500 Hz filter. The K3's
father (Wayne) tells me this could be a bad thing - but I like the overall
results.
My next filter purchase? Probably the 6 KHz one - or perhaps 1 kHz.

There is simply no comparison. The AGC is probably one of the best

Therefore - it would appear that Elecraft followed the K2 convention.
Same power connector works too.
However, the antenna connector and key jack ARE different.
