Due to varying types of operating requirements it would be extremely difficult to come up with a "One Operating Setup" that would be any better than the supplied "Default" settings.
I have tried many of the suggestions offered on this list from time to time and I would be very surprised if my now current settings were not a mixture of some of these suggestions. Without any intention to sounding condescending I firmly believe that new owners of any of the current crop of amateur radios should really follow the manufacturers suggestion to read the manual prior to operating. Certainly we get excited and "need" a "quick fix" by firing the rig straight out of the box. But still there is no way to replace "fiddling"" with the new toy. The TX side is fairly straight forward and easy to enough to get right followed by small adjustments to get it "just right for the individual". The RX is certainly more complex along with connecting and setting up auxiliary equipment and operating priorities and again there is no substitute for perusing the manual as you work through the setup. Some quick start guides may be advantageous to those who wish to speed up the learning curve but time spent in front of the rig listening on the bands is always going to get you to the point where you will find your own unique settings that work for you. I have found that starting with your most common mode of operation that you are most comfortable with will get you on the air quickly with little or no difficulty. Then simply work through other modes at a leisurely pace. Just my nickel's worth, keep the change..:-) 73's Gary On Sun, Sep 19, 2010 at 7:21 AM, Hank Garretson <w...@arrl.net> wrote: > On Sat, Sep 18, 2010 at 2:18 PM, ussv dharma <ussvdha...@yahoo.com> wrote: > > Perhaps, since the K3 IS so versitle, there should be a setting for > > "beginners".
