Hi Jim, I just had the same experience with a TopTen decoder and a K3. Be careful of the cables with the molded ends that don't screw-in and can't be connected to the K3 ACC port without the K3 screw nuts removed from the chassis. That makes the connection unstable. I recently ordered"

Re: [Elecraft] Different focus

But wouldn’t a higher performance A/D converter also mean you’d have to bring forth more DSP computing power? Because, whether you increase the sample rate or the number of bits per sample, it’s more data to process every second. Is there that much spare DSP computing power in the K4? Could

Evert, As one who suffers from such noise, I too look forward to such improvements. The K4 will have a “subtractive” noise reduction/noise blanking algorithm that essentially subtracts noise form a signal being copied. During the recent Zoom call, I was told it would be available in about 3

Re: [Elecraft] Different focus

The short answer is "yes." In the K4 it takes the form of distributed processing, including multiple high-speed FPGAs in the demodulation path, a new DSP that's twice as fast any we've used before, and virtually unlimited resources in our main processor. It's also a very modular radio. For
