I have referred to this Jim's document in my earlier write ups for the Finnish audience. Jim's study on the transmitter cleanliness is groundbreaking and really the first of it's kind. Jim is showing
Well .. maybe so. I am still puzzled why change something drastically without an apparent reason to fix anything. My assumption was the end user has a capability to fix the production alignment (?) o
The K3 rise time isn't 2.5msec. Here's what N6KR said on the subject to the Field tester group in May 2010. This comment was partly in response to whether rise time would be shortened for the new K3
