I assembled my K3/100 with the second receiver in December of 2010. The weak signal performance was much better than my original IC-756 rig. I did not install the automatic antenna tuner. I have continued to download the software changes since then.
Two years ago I installed the general coverage receiver modification. I thought it was my imagination at the time but I thought had experienced a slight decrease in the primary and secondary receiver sensitivity. Today I put my Kenwood TS-480 that I had been using as a mobile in the shack. I was listing to a couple of weak strength SSB QSOs using the K3. Out of curiosity I switched over to the TS-480 and was surprised that the weak signals were more "copy-able" on the inexpensive Kenwood than on the K3. Does this indicate a problem with the RX in the K3 or is the apparent difference in the TS-480 RF gain come at the price of the definitely poorer adjacent signal rejection? ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
