Bob,
I noticed an improvement right away just by tuning
20 CW during a very active contest weekend. My
ability to pull out weak signals was much enhanced.
But I do agree completely with you for Bill's
purposes "I don't contest or DX - just rag chew on
160/75/40... ".

Bill,
I upgraded the synth and have not noticed any difference whatsoever. That is
not to say there is none, only that I could not tell any difference since I
could not do any A/B comparisons. I am very skeptical of those who claim to
have noticed a difference without having done an actual A/B comparisons. Far
too many factors at play.
The K3 is a truly exceptional performer. For your uses, you would not notice
any difference either, IMHO.

My K3 is from early 2012 - ser: 62xx. I don't contest or DX - just rag chew on
160/75/40 - makes a super 500 Watt station. Rarely do I touch any controls
other than the VFO or band switch. My QTH is very low noise - typical local
daytime noise level barely registers on the P3 (think S-0). Yeah, I know I, I
could be using something that cost far less. I enjoy the Rolls Royce!
Now that there are a fair number of K3S rigs and modified K3 rigs in the
field - there should be something for me to learn from the users.
Considering my use of the K3 and my QTH - what would I gain by installing the
new synth (KSYN3A) in the existing K3? I am looking for real-world 75 meter
LSB experience. Wife says go for the K3S if I want to, but I think it is
overkill for what I do. Yankee cheap I guess.
