One area where the K3 is also looking good is the transmitted noise level, ARRL members may wish to look at the on-line reviews and check the close in spectrum analyser plots of the K3 vs the rest when keying on CW. A near neighbour appears to be +/- 50 KHz wide on 80m with rubbish from his

I spent several hours comparing my K3 with an IC7700 a couple of weeks ago. I was hard pushed to hear any practical difference between the receivers in digging weak signals out of noisy band conditions, but what struck me most was that as soon as the Icom went on ssb tx (20m) the whole noise floor

Now, if manufacturers would put their analyzers aside, and just sit down and LISTEN to those grand old rigs And make dsp models with the same characteristics and sound. What a wonderful world it would be ;-) I wouldn't mind a TS-830 replica with all dsp inside. 73' Paul PD0PSB Hi Tom

of the components are in large scale integrated circuits. The old Kenwood PC boards are disintegrating from old age. I'd like think the K3 will far surpass TS930, 940, etc. in the old age game - probably outlasting me. ;-) [Elecraft] [K3] K3 VS 7600 Sherwood List pd0psb p.s.bijpost at gmail.com Sat

G'day Don, I tell anyone that will listen, the flexibility of a DSP radio means little without the rich full natural sound of a good analog radio. Elecraft has done this (IMO). They have made the hobby technically better without the artifactual warts. There are many who would disagree
