Steve,
I don't understand why the configurability of the K3 should pose much of
a problem.
Compared to other radios that have very configuration capability, one
can run the K3 with its default settings just as easily. Just because
the configuration capability in the K3 exists does not mean it has to be
used.
Also, if there are many operators who can capably reconfigure the K3 to
their desires then they can figure out how to set their preferences
without causing harm and grief to other operators as long as they set
things back to normal after their operating session.
So I think the argument about the K3's configuration capability is not
as strong as some like to make of it, the defaults work fine for most
operators and there are very few times an operator needs to access the
menu system.
In other words, I would argue, if you know what you are doing, go ahead
and change things - just set it back when you are done. OTOH, if you
don't know what you are doing in the menus, leave it alone and just operate.
73,

I have a K3 line at my home station ...and of course am a real fan. I am often
on the team at the KL7RA M/M station here. We have an ongoing (good natured)
dispute about whether the K3 is a feasible M/M rig (not because of quality, but
because people are so personal in the way they like to have it configured). I
know I've had no problems at all using K3s in M/S ops. I'm wondering if there
are some serious mostly/all K3 M/Ms out there ..and if so ...if I could weasel
an invite sometime when I'm not committed up here. I can do pretty high rate
on cw, don't eat much and am paper trained :)
