Gents,
On the flip side, I - and, apparently, many other operators from whom
we've heard on this and other reflectors - have run the K3 for 30+ hours out
of a 48-hour contest and not experienced the fatigue you describe. Such
fatigue would make any rig an intolerable chore to use and would

Brian,
I agree with that. The K3 does sound different than many other
receivers, it is cleaner, and to my ears reproduces the signals that are
actually present on the band more faithfully than many other receivers.

The mods are essentially the same, although Elecraft likely re-scaled R
values rather than C. The end result is identical. I drafted those mods at
a time when the upgrades were not yet implemented by Elecraft. Taking

Rob Sherwood, NC0B, of Sherwood Engineering says that all of the
receivers with dsp made since roughly 2000 except for the K3 and one
other have agc that is excessively responsive to fast ( narrow width in
the time domain) noise impulse noises. According to him, these impulses
