Lee, the answer is neither-yet. You will get a lot of advice on this. Here's
mine.
Buy my Ten-Tec Scout 555 for a low price and get on the air immediately with
good QSK and 50w. Then save for the K3, buying the base model and building on
it as you can afford it.
The K2 is a fine rig, I
Don,
Perhaps you have suggested one possible solution to making the output from
DSP sound less harsh ('yucky' is a better term IMHO), add some harmonics of
the desired output signal. I can't at the moment see how this could be done
with relatively simple circuitry which would have to
I still like my K2, but I am very happy with the K3.
I had never gotten around to setting the K2 up to work digital modes,
or so I could use N1MM and send CW from the computer during a contest.
All those have already been done on the K3 in a short period of time.
In the past, I was often
Hi,
I put my K2 #1400 back on line last night to have a listen around 40M CW.
I'm getting a bit fed up with one step forward, half a step back firmware
upgrades and am giving it a rest for a while. Anyway, I was surprised
just how nice it sounded compared to my K3. The audio seems softer and
Hi Mike,
It's funny you should post at this time. I don't have a K3 but, I was looking
at the test results on the Elecraft web site just yesterday. I was wondering
how much difference there really is since the numbers are pretty close.

Hi Bill,
That's a good point. I guess I didn't really think about that since I've
rarely noticed it. Both of my other HF rigs are from the 80's and my K2 #6113
is the newest that I have. I'm use to fighting QRM. Hi! Hi! To me, the K2 is
way better than my other rigs. Now it makes me
Anyway, I was surprised just how nice it sounded compared to my K3.
The audio seems softer and warmer somehow. Same bandwidth (400Hz),
same phones. The K3 background noise just sounded harder, more harsh.
I've had this feeling from day one.
Have you played with Rx EQ? Add some bass,
Mike,
I believe it is all in the perception. The K2 is all analog (unless the
KDSP2 is active), but the K3 processing is digital. Each has its own
advantages and artifacts to contend with. Analog can soften the
background noise while the digital DSP can reproduce it 'in all its glory'.
