Hi, Thanks for that input, I still have the Pro 3, and will probably sell it, if the performance is worse than teh K3. I will be able to A/B the two rigs for about a week prior to station replacement. -- 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
