Yep...and the WK ARC of Greater Milwaukee, N9AW (2A), is also an all Elecraft FD group using three K3's plus the back up radios are also K3s. Seven or eight antennas on 80-6M all within probably a 200 ft radius. Never a hint of the other radios transmitting. On 8/21/2015 1:05 PM, Jim Brown

Another data point from the all-K3 FD station W1LY (2A RI). The 3 Yagi antennas in the photo (link below) were all on the 20m band simultaneously for at least 4 hours at the beginning of FD. 1 station was on 20 CW, and 2 stations were on 20 SSB. All running 100 Watts. Another K3 was used in the

The illuminating facts are that the K3/S is selected because multiple radios operating in a close area don't interfere where other brands apparently do. __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft

PVRC contest club members have known this very useful fact for quite a few years now. Our 3A North Carolina field day group (N4C this year) goes to 100% K3 on HF bands for field day so that we can have both CW and SSB going on the same band. We never hear the other TX on the band. Not even a

Guy is correct, I have a ham living about 700 feet from me, and when he opens up with his KW, my old Icom used to die... The K3 does not even let me know he is on if he is beyond 10 to 20 KHz. Only way I can tell is a HUGE spike in the P3 at his operating frequency. I did a very informal set of
