One of the most exciting experiences in my life as a ham was participating in the field test of the K3. I once sat in front of it and turned it on and off more than a hundred times in a row to verify that a firmware fix was successful. The K4 testers are both dedicated volunteers — and lucky

Hi Doug, I've been doing CW contests with the K3 for nearly 11 years now. After using an early release of the K4 firmware, which should only improve over time, I'm convinced that the K4 far outperforms the K3 in CW pileup scenarios, mainly due to much improved audio performance. I predict other

[Elecraft] N6TV recording K4 K3

Thanks to TV for doing these. I really think that while well intentioned, these recordings are "not much" in terms of comparing the two radios (or even just the K4 alone), unless you're an operator who is concerned about exactly the conditions (parameters) which are being used for the recordings.

Re: [Elecraft] New CW audio recording: K3 vs. K4D

I like k2 audio too but it seems that some of the difference compared to k3 is the lower I-F gain in k2.  So I reduced I-F gain in k3. K2 audio still wins but nothing I have used here slices through cw pileups like k3, or hears a weak signal better. The main action I took to enjoy k3 audio was

Senility. I was trying to repair my KRC2, which had a damaged voltage regulator and one of the driver chips. I put the new regulator in backwards (yes, I did this) and as a result applied about 10v to the 5v microprocessor. Now the voltage readings at the processor pins are very different
