Re: [Elecraft] K3: Sherwood Receiver Test Data question

Dick, The "sensitivity" number is incorrect because the K3 Rob tested didn't have its S-meter and AGC calibrated. He's going to re-test this after the unit is calibrated. We tested a few K3s with new synths in our lab, and all of them had sensitivity very close to the first K3 Rob tested. On t

Please advise if I am reading the new Sherwood receiver data correctly: 1) it shows a nice 6-8dB improvement in 3rd order dynamic range after adding the new synthesizer? 2) it shows that the K3's sensitivity has been greatly reduced from the original 0.33 & 0.19 to 0.8 & 0.5 after th

I just found my instruction for disassembling the K2 on the web at http://www.qsl.net/wy3a/Replace_K2_Headphone_Jack.htm. The instructions are specifically for the K2/100, but if you have the K2/10, removing the top cover is similar to the instructions for removing the KPA100. 73, Don W3FPR

Sorry folks but bw limited now so can't search archives for possible answer. A couple friends that know my voice claim there's a small offset when we tune each other for natural sounding voices. We're all using K3s. The difference appears to be on the order of 20'ish Hertz. I seem to recall

I agree Bill, it's a real nuisance. Maybe Wayne can tack this onto his main bill as a rider. It's a real life, almost-every-day irritant. No amount of additional split warning will help, it's still too many button pushes, and inconsistent behavior by mode. 73, Mike NF4L > On Mar 3, 2015, at 22
