I for one am looking forward to AM synch on the K3. (or will be, once I've gotten my K3...). As strange as it might sound, I wouldn't have ordered one if not for general coverage receive capability, so this feature is pretty important to me. That and CW are my "prime focus".
I don't have a problem with waiting while the more popular features are developed. But the K3 is a software defined radio, with the promise that it WILL do nearly everything; or at least everything a Drake can do. Anyhow, I just wanted to add my vote for synchronous AM detection and wider b/w. Also, independent sideband selection would be nice as well.Thanks. 73, Drew AF2Z On Fri, 18 Apr 2008 05:57:34 -0700 (PDT), you wrote: > >Ken, > >I'm going to say what a lot of people are thinking but to polite to express. > >I like your suggestion.
