Regarding the new DSP board, I was not one of those who had issues with the old one or considered the K3 to be noisy on rx and I ordered the new one simply to keep my K3 #266 up to date. I use SSB almost exclusively, these days seeking dx on 80m with a headset.
Having installed the new board a few days ago my subjective and non-technical assessment so far is a more pleasing sound in the headphones with increased bass response and reduced white noise without loss of sensitivity. On tx slightly fuller audio from my HC4 with more mid range. (Both rx and tx assessed with equaliser all zeros.) So on the whole I regard the new board as an improvement. Worth the money? Well that depends on how you look at it and different people may have different views. I managed to convince myself that I could afford it and I feel no sense of disappointment after the event. 73 and Happy 2010 to all Geoff G3UCK ______________________________________________________________ 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
