As you know, many of the hardware mods are just to prevent bad things from happening under unusual circumstances rather than offering any substantial performance improvements. And, since I did so many at once I couldn't pinpoint any one of them even if I did notice a difference. I've only had it installed a couple hours, and other than verifying that everything still worked, haven't really had any operating time yet. I'm a 99% CW contest operator anyhow, so until WPX CW it won't get a stringent test. The one exception is the IF Output Buffer Gain mod, which should be noticeable when the P3 comes along. I have been fairly diligent about installing each release level of the firmware as it comes out, and some of these have definitely made noticeable performance improvements. I wouldn't expect (and haven't seen) any corresponding type of improvement with the hardware mods. 73 Craig AC0DS ______________________________________________________________ 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
