I'm not complaining about not updating and I think it's a reasonable price, per-se. But add in the postage, customs handling (no duty) and VAT, this gets a little steep over here and I can't really afford to do that for some performance I might not miss. YMMV And I'm not suggesting this

I am anxious to see what the new board will do. I have used QF1A for many years and never found a radio yet where it did not enable me to copy signals much better. I treat my QF1As like gold and never operate without one in the Peak mode. 73 Mike K4PI

Does the DSP Board swap change anything other than the audio chain, and is that for headphones only? 73, Dick - KA5KKT __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help:

One doesn't have to be a Hi-Fi enthusiast to be discomforted or fatigued by distortion products and other artifacts, but perhaps being one is useful in knowing the causes. Not perceiving these in the conscious mind or otherwise quantifying or qualifying them does not mean that a person is

I have one of the upgraded boards. Mine is a rev B with some SMT component changes that achieves approximately the same result as W9AC's bass extension mods, although Elecraft seem not to have changed some of the capacitor values. I think I read somewhere they were achieving the same result

Well I for one missed the AF filter part of the DSP upgrade. Not all K3 owners spend time on the internet and Elecraft web site in particular. So if anyone does know exactly what the AF filter does to enhance the receiver DSP over that what we have prior to it's release, would certainly help
