No disclosure required, Bob.  Credit where credit is due (to Elecraft); just based on the k3 alone, I believe you, hi. The only reason I would not purchase k4 is because of k3/k3s.  One of mine is 12 years old updated and performs just like k3s. I have three of them for so2r plus in band so2r

I know that your post said to ignore the transmissions but why is it so bad? Like many I listened before reading the text and wondering why I was having problems copying what was sent. Any recordings the I have made with a K3S using either a Sony DVR or a computer have been quite clear.

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

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.
