According to http://www.elecraft.com/K3/k3_app_notes.htm this change was
phased in "Approximately Jan 20, 2008 Approx. s/n 211." So that sounds
to me like the current shipping ones are 5ms instead of 8ms. It also
alludes to future firmware control enabled by the mod.

According to my friends and according to MP3 files they have made for me,
the CW note from my K3 serial number 152 sounds fine. Not as hard as
my K2
and not too soft. I see there is a modification to change the rise time
from 8 to 5 milliseconds by installing a different capacitor at C222
on the
RF board. I wonder what value cap is present in currently shipping K3's?
Wonder what people have thought about the change in the CW waveform after
changing this capacitor?
I know there are those who will say if it ain't broke, don't fix it. But
it's the true Elecraft spirit to make something good even better.
Please answer off list as well as on as I get the reflector in digest
form
only. Thanks!
