Russian website with claimed scores from last weekend. Very cool video
embedded from HI3A, with 2 K3s prominently displayed
to replace the K3 :-(

Finally someone who hears what I hear, Im sure this thread will bring
out the
raving crowd of mine is just fine.
I have the exact same problem in pile ups, and would sure like to see the
parameters changed to be able to adjust more to move the threshold higher.
There was some attempt to fix this
Did you try the DSP upgrade? Have you pulled the front panel off and
cleaned the contacts with Deoxit?
Does age start to factor in to this observation? I know everything in
the past is always better.Ie we tend to forget how things really
were. At 47 I have some loss of hearing at
Indeed! This was reported many many moons ago, also by me.
No fix I guess, just the way the K3 is.

Oh by the way, this thing is not an audio thing. It is

Think this issue was discussed last year. There where
some leads on it but don´t know the outcome, if any.

Yes to all the above, and those things have nothing to do with the AGC
problems, and
little if any to do with audio harshness.. my K3 is up to date as it comes.

I sort of thought I was the only one who noticed this. Weak stations in
Missouri don't generate pileups, so I encounter this only in certain
situations when a lot of U.S. stations are trying to work a DX station on
or around his frequency. Recently there have been quite a few situations
when the
ZK2V seems to have some 'experience' AGC as well.
Check out his homepage, http://www.zk2v.com/ and read Chris comments from
Nov.4th.
And he - probably more than anyone else - experience the issue - with
38500+ QSO's in the log from the DX side since end of October.

What was condescending? Hearing loss could be a factor especially with
a ham population that is not getting younger. Sorry if you felt
slighted. My grandfather could never pass the 20wpm code test because
of hearing loss and his description is very similar to many of the
comments made here
5khz listening split is very small for an SSB pileup as most signals
occupy 3kz so a 5khz split allows for little separation. The European
and Asian pileups at J6 on 12 and 10m were monstrous yet we worked many
stations. If you have 200 people calling in a 5khz range do you really
expect to
What I find most bothersome about these rants, is that somehow certain of the
owner class seems to think that Elecraft OWES them a solution or an
explanation. As though mush is enough of a description for a DSP wizard to
have an epiphany and write a few lines of code and fix the problem, which
Of course Elecraft owes us an explanation. Thankfully Eric just
attempted to do exactly that, but why on earth would you think
otherwise?? The rig distorts signals in normal operation, and it is
definitely a problem for many competent contesters even if you don't
fall into that category.
It would be interesting to hear if a recording of this coming out of the
back of the K3 is the same as what is being heard at the headphone or
speaker jack. Obviously it should be.
