Is the blurring problem less severe when using a 300 Hz tone which is my favourite? At 300Hz the differences in audio frequency seem to be more noticeable. This is personal but I find the tone less harsh and in my case the RX equalization is set to favour a narrow band of frequencies around 300 Hz. When this problem occurs for me I wait for the pile up to die down and one or two stations to come back or persist. Yes this costs but then I am in the mid-level of contesters and am pretty happy but I am learning. In EI we can actually get pileups in contests so life is good. Thanks to all.

I wonder if the blurring or mush problem is as severe when using Diversity Reception which is more likely on TB than on the HF bands where the great directivity of the Yagi seems to null the benefits of diversity reception. So the Stew Perry may not be such a good test to use. This is a most interesting thread and I am so impressed by Eric and Wayne. My K3 was a wise purchase even to allow my enjoying such conversations. I also find blurring with mid level signals on occasion and always use the attenuator in contests. Perhaps if it is mid-level signals switching out ATT would help but no one has time for this in a contest. 73 Doug EI2CN -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Paul Christensen Sent: 05 December 2011 17:06 To: Elecraft List Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 mush example? Better still -- how about a comparison of audio clips between the K3 and a competing transceiver that is seemingly unaffected by the problem? If not from this past 160m contest, then perhaps from the forthcoming Stew Perry or CQ 160m contests.

Hi all, As a mere mortal and a relatively new K3 owner, I would find it really eductational if someone could post an audio clip of what's being discussed.
