My experience with all my E-gear as well. My K3 is pretty much "Big Knob" only. While running in a contest, I'll turn on RIT [sort of wish that was saved by band or was immune to band changes] to find off-freq callers, and I don't ever watch the radio, I watch the P3. In QRPTTF out on a hill top, I hung my K2 around my neck, found a frequency, locked the VFO, and you can probably count the number of times I did something to the radio on the fingers of one hand, even if you're missing your thumb and a finger. Despite the number of control actions, I rarely change things. Now with 4.51, NB and NR are just "always on." For the record, I'm pretty much CW only, SSB mileage might vary, don't know. 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 2012 Cal QSO Party 6-7 Oct 2012 - www.cqp.org ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
