I have been a Yaesu fan for many years and currently have a FTDX-5000MP and a Quadra amp in essence a 1kw radio in every way from 6-160m. It is an excellent radio and a great receiver to boot as you all know I'm sure. I have owned it for 30 months and never had one issue with it was the second one delivered in the US. Wanting to try something new I decided to buy a K3 what could be wrong with owning the #1 &2 radios on all the tests. Long story short now I have a loaded K2/100, 2 K3/100's one of them loaded and the other on the way, a P3/SVGA and will add a second plus a XG3. These darned Elecrafts are a real pain they should make you have a prescription from your Doctor before you ever order one and that should have a warning label about becoming addictive.
Rather than going with an Elecraft tuner and amp I decided to go another direction that gave me a few more options an Alpha amp and a new Alpha 4040 auto tuned soon to be released. In the interim I'm using a Palstar AT-Auto till the Alpha gets here the last of Sept or Oct. Just finished ordering a Array Solutions Six Pack SO2R Dual Controller for the K3's and a Bandmaster with a few extras. Being rather new to Elecraft I have only had my K3's for about a month I'm still searching for a way to continuously adjust the DNR from the very lowest to the most aggressive with a dial while listing. I'm able to do this with my FTDX-5000 and find it to be one of my most used features and most effective I might add with that ability. Is there a way for me to setup a knob to adjust the DNR like that in the K3, I'm sure there must be and it's just me not finding it, that good of a feature I'm sure would not be left out. Thx to all & 73, Fred/N0AZZ ______________________________________________________________ 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
