Since I don't have a station at home, this weekend's Russian DX contest was
the first time I was able to give the new SYNTH boards a good testing after
installing them a couple of weeks ago. I realize this is totally subjective
because I don't even have the test equipment to run the numbers but
Jim, you said:
For us old-timers here, if R.L. Drake focused on AM when they designed and
released the Drake 1A (targeted for the SSB mode), they would have gone the
way of Compaq, Commodore, Digital Equipment and others.
Where did Drake go? Seems like somewhat the same way!

A more gentlemanly form:
Elecraft needs to remain competitive in the market.
They have limited resources to advance the art. Lose focus and they fritter
the valuable resources and die.
The other Big 3 do not concern themselves with AM, or for that matter,
anything short of selling a new radios
I don't know who you consider to be the big 3. Some oh-not-so-old Kenwood
radios are excellent on AM. The Orion I/II is truly an excellent AM transmitter

Larry,
Check the CONFIG menu. If it is set to KDVR3 NOR, then the K3 is
expecting the KDVR3 to be installed. If it is not installed, you will
receive an error. Set the CONFIG KDVR3 setting to not inSt if the
KDVR3 is not present.

No ideology here, just the brutal facts of business.
If people do not like the feature set of a product, people will not purchase
it.
If Elecraft does not appeal to the market segment that buys a radio for the
features they offer, they will soon begin to dwindle and ultimately die.
Then
Joe,
Check the Firmware level. If it is not 5.14, you may not have the DUAL
PB or APF available. Those were temporarily omitted from a few firmware
releases, but were restored in 5.14.
Check the Firmware Release Notes for details.

AM and CW modes are making a resurgence, and both can be accommodated.

Looks like we are drifting far OT and afield of the original poster's intent.
Let's close the OT part of this thread and get it back to optimization of the
K3's AM freq response.
Also, keep snide pro/com AM comments off of this list, as that is outside of the
guidelines.

Yea, Drake did. They did not adapt to the market. And they are long gone.
Drake followed the path of performance (especially receiver, look at the R7
series and R8B as an example) as opposed to the path that the market wanted,
which was bells and whistles, general coverage, built in keyers,
I am done pontificating on this matter.

Press and hold SUB to enter diversity and just use Main VFO .. both main

Even in diversity mode, VFO B can be used as the transmit frequency during

Both. The maximum hi cut one can set in the DSP is 4200 Hz and
there is a 4-pole Chebyshev analog audio lowpass filter (-6 dB
at about 4500 Hz and -40 dB at about 10 KHz) between the ADC
Actually in PERM mode it would be good that when the SUB is held and
Diversity is enabled that the mode freq etc is copied from A to B

There is no need to copy A-B when engaging diversity. Diversity uses
