Hi Toby, Could you expand a bit on the choppy CW thing? I am a new K3 person, and I just bought my K3. All this talk about choppy CW makes me a bit apprehensive. If I use a normal Vibroplex iambic paddle, and send well am I going to have a problem, or is this something about using the KBD option? -- Thanks and 73's, For equipment, and software setups and reviews see: www.nk7z.net for MixW support see; http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/mixw/info for Dopplergram information see: http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/dopplergram/info for MM-SSTV see: http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/MM-SSTV/info
