The easiest way to tell is that the new board has a little daughter-board with low-pass filter components on it. If both boards have them, you are already updated. If neither, then they sent you an old board. If one does and the other doesn't, install the one that does! On 10/22/2011 6:16

Holger, The DSP Upgrade is certainly possible for your K3 - whether that is a board exchange or the LPF which you add to the board. The question about price and shipping should be directed to sa...@elecraft.com for a complete answer. 73, Don W3FPR On 10/7/2011 1:00 AM, dl9hda wrote: Hello,

Holger, If you do the DSP board exchange, you do not have to be concerned about the level of your current board - you will receive the latest level DSP board in the exchange.. I believe the LPF can be added to any DSP board level. For other upgrades, consult the list at the Elecraft website to

Hi Mike, If you have an appreciation for the elimination of high end artifacts and overall smother sound, the answer is clearly, 'Yes, it is worth it.' Prior to the upgrade, I kept the top edge of the filter about 2.35 kHz as that was about all I could take. Now I have no problem running the

Hi Terry. No new menu settings need to be made or changed as a result of the DSP upgrade or the IF buffer mod. Just make sure you that if you have the subRX installed, you have the same firmware version in the main and sub DSP. It is also always a good idea to have the latest version of the K3
