Hi Joe, Thanks for the link, do you know if Elecraft included this mod and when they may have started doing so, and if they did, how I can tell that my K3 has it?
With the age of this unit (#4249), I would prefer not to start modifying it just yet, at least not until the warranty expires. It's unfortunate for me that I wasn't aware of this short fall before purchasing what I was told was a good solution for the lack of a panoramic display on the K3. Thanks to you and Don for the information. 73 George...WA1NTA -----Original Message----- From: Joe Subich, W4TV [mailto:li...@subich.com] Sent: Saturday, June 05, 2010 10:10 PM To: WA1NTA; Elecraft Reflector Subject: Re: [Elecraft] SDR-IQ Unless you have performed the IF Output buffer gain modification <http://www.elecraft.com/K3/mods/IF_Output_Buffer_Gain_Mod_Rev_A.pdf> or use the Clifton Labs broadband buffer amplifier between K3 & SDR-IQ <http://www.elecraft.com/K3/mods/IF_Output_Buffer_Gain_Mod_Rev_A.pdf> what you see is entirely normal. The unmodified K3 IF output is approximately 17 dB lower than the RF signal input level. 73, ...
