[Elecraft] MH2 question

Has anyone sent their Heil MH2 to AB5N Bob Nagy for his upgrade? I've never been impressed with my K2 SSB tx audio and I've done everything Elecraft has recommended to improve the TX audio, including sending it to Gary for alignment -- Gary did a wonderful job aligning my K2, but the K2 TX audio

I've never owned or used a K2. However I have assembled two of the K3 kits for others who felt they were not capable of doing so. Thus I have had the opportunity to use two different K3 radios. One of the very serious short comings, and main reason for me not purchasing a K3 earlier, is the

Bob, Are you saying the K3 TX audio was unsatisfactory? If so, that's the first report of it I've heard (assuming everything is adjusted correctly). BTW -- re the thread topic: My K2 has always received outstanding audio reports, though nowadays I use my K3. But I never much liked the MH

I was a bit shocked, or at least surprised, at what K4TAX was saying. I think he might mean the quality of the audio plus speaker system of the default K3, not TX audio. Or, at least hopefully he means that. I know others have complained about the level of audio volume or whatever in listeni

Yeah, this *has* to be a mis-communications somewhere. I use the Proset with the iC2 electret element from Elecraft. I regularly get unsolicited "really great audio" comments in contests, I'll likely get several in the IARU this weakend if I decide to try out phone. I have a nondescript, alm

Also note that the K3 has stereo, 4-ohm-capable external speaker outputs. You can really get pet-hair-raising amounts of audio out if you need it. Using two speakers allows you to take advantage of the left/right main/sub RX audio as well as audio effects. 73, Wayne N6KR On Jul 9, 2015, at 3

Ed, Several responses to your post have brought comments regarding the K3 TX audio, but I have not seen any specifically addressing the K2. The K3 TX audio can be tailored using the 8 band TX Equalizer which can be used to make most any microphone sound like the best studio microphone in the w

I think Bob is referring to the new, improved RX audio (I think it's only RX) in the K3S DSP board, not yet available as a K3 upgrade. Phil W7OX On 7/9/15 5:52 PM, Tom Schaefer wrote: I'm missing something. Wayne said that's in the K3 now. He did not say only the K3S did he? Tom NY4I Princ

The best and easiest fix for "bad K3 audio" is to simply tell the other ham you're using a Kensucom. He will respond with, "Oh yeah, your Kensucom has great audio, old man!" Al  W6LX __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/
