1. Nice job by 2RF.
2. Instant reply calling his approach smoke signals
3. 2RF sez "nope"
4. Elecraft effectively sez: 2RF post is NOT fake news and cites some
possible issues. Good for Elecraft (as usual). Vetting on a pre-reflector
posting basis is a GREAT idea. We are all anxious to

Thanks for the audio! I was running an old Heathkit SB-104A at 100 watts
to a 43' vertical, the old girl doesn't sound too bad on either rig but the
K4D does sound better to my ears.
I had been working FT8 on my K3 but decided to call CQ on the Heath for
grins. Glad you heard us!

Thanks for doing these recordings, Bob.

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

When I say smoother it's a very subjective observation. You mentioned AGC
differences and that may very well be what I'm hearing.

Please define "smoother".
I prefer the K4 audio. Note that the recording starts with K3 audio.
73,
Bob,
The DSP code isn't quite settled yet. I can help you further optimize the K4
settings, including AGC and NR.

working on a much more advanced NR algorithm the doesn't have the "hollow" LMS

Overall, the K3 sounded a little smoother to my ears. I do not own a K3 nor

This afternoon I made a 3-1/2 minute audio recording of two stations in QSO
with each other on 40 CW, using both a K3 and K4D, and switching back and
forth. Download here (2.3 MB):
