Re: [Elecraft] K3S In-Depth Review Coming Soon?

The speaker amplifier and driver stages that were redesigned are on the DSP board, not the KIO3B. The KIO3B does have new audio circuitry, namely a CODEC and support circuitry for merging line-level audio with control data for use by the new USB port. But this has nothing to do with the

All of the improvements I mentioned benefit the headphone jacks, *except* the AF amp redesign, which affects only the internal and external speakers. The headphone amplifier has always had extremely low distortion. Wayne N6KR On Oct 28, 2015, at 8:00 AM, jim wrote: >

I was wondering if and when a full-on review of the K3S would be forthcoming. I'm a bit surprised that following its release there hasn't been a lot of reviews posted (certainly no comparison to the number of reviews that followed the release of the original K3). A comprehensive review of the

Re: [Elecraft] K3S In-Depth Review Coming Soon?

Operators disagree about K3/K3S audio. To me it sounds great, others dislike it. The best way to settle the question for your own, personal ears, is to find someone nearby who will let you use his/her K3S for a few hours. 73, Vic, 4X6GP/K2VCO Rehovot, Israel http://www.qsl.net/k2vco/ On 27

We've made several changes to improve audio over years, and a K3S incorporates all of them: - K3: improved 12VDC decoupling to the AF amp - K3: added a dual low-noise LPF to eliminate residual sampling noise (mostly at 12 kHz) - K3: corrected DSP AGC algorithms, which were non-monotonic at

I'm not sure what they did, buy my new K3s sounds better to me than my original K3 (27xx S/N), as well as being better than the previous audio winner, my IC-7600. That said, I have some high frequency hearing loss making conversation in a crowd difficult. However, I could understand almost
