Hi all,
Long time fan of Elecraft, I have a K3s and a KPA1500, both are
currently in service. My primary HF radio is now a TS-890, I bought it
about four or so years ago after giving up waiting on the K4's to be off
the shelf ready to purchase.
So on to my questions about the two rigs. For those who have fairly
recent experience running both the TS-890/K4's I would greatly
appreciate anyone's thoughts and comments about the two rigs. I really
like the 890 after I finally figured out how to run it (hi hi). I like
the visual representation of adjusting the high and low bandpass filters
on the waterfall. One feature of the 890 I don't like is the notch
filter isn't automatic unlike my K3s.
I know there's a lot of complaints about relatively poor DSP noise
reduction on the 890 and I do agree it's not in the same class as my K3s
but nonetheless it's still quite effective. Receive sensitivity on my
890 is outstanding, I'll have to give it a subjective 5 stars and my K3s
4 stars.
One huge bonus of Elecraft is factory service which I've had to use a
couple of times with my K3s. I give it 5 stars :-)
Any helpful comments are greatly appreciated and please be brutally honest.
