A K3 to K2 audio comparison changes a lot when 4.51 firmware is installed. The change in the K3 was instantly noticeable. So these days one must specify pre- or post-4.51. 73, Guy On Mon, Jun 4, 2012 at 6:54 PM, Thomas Horsten tho...@horsten.com wrote: Hi Gary, Those observations, are

Yes, isn't it amazing that a 4-year-old rig continues to receive the full attention of the manufacturers and substantial improvements like this. I can't think of any other company with such a great track record of supporting customers of existing products. Especially fine that this comes out when

Paul, I also did an A to B comparison. The K2( with KAF2) sounds very nice, but the K3 even a bit nicer! 73,Chris-OE5CSP -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K2-K3-Comparison-Question-tp7556932p7557041.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at

Hi Paul, I own the K2 and K3. Like you, I'm not a contester. I actually prefer the sound of the K2 on CW. To me it sounds warmer and smoother. The tone of the K3 isn't bad and if I didn't have a K2 to compare it to, I probably wouldn't notice. The K3 sounds a little rough or raspy to me

It may just be my perception, but the 4.51 firmware AGC changes have made the K3 a very pleasant receiver even though I didn't have any real issues to its personality prior to 4.51. I've not listened to a K2 even though I'm that having one wouldn't be such a bad idea. ;-) 73, de Nate, N0NB --

I agree. Put up firmware 4.51 on your K3 and re-evaluate. 73, Guy. On Fri, Jun 1, 2012 at 1:45 PM, Nate Bargmann n...@n0nb.us wrote: It may just be my perception, but the 4.51 firmware AGC changes have made the K3 a very pleasant receiver even though I didn't have any real issues to its

I have both K2 and K3 and agree CW always sounds so 'sweet' on my K2. However the K3 has indeed improved in this respect with 4.51firmware. Difficult to describe, but it was immediately apparent to me. I had no real problem with the K3 CW audio before, but now I would say it sounds as sweet as
