Hi Keith:
I'd have to agree with Don.. and don't forget, some people just like
to participate in a contest.. for the fun of it, and perhaps working a
"new one" ... as opposed to trying to win the contest. Those people
would probably do -just fine- with a stock K3 setup. I'm sure I would.

Keith,
That may be true, but if it is, each operator will know how to set
it up to his preferences.
I say again, if he does not know how to set it up, he should leave
it alone. In the midst of a contest is not the time to be fiddling
with things to find out what each operator wants. A bit of
education and practice with settings beforehand *can* make such
operator changeovers smooth.
Perhaps your group can agree on some compromise settings that will
work suitably for all.
After all, DXPeditions using multiple operators seem to do something
like that with success. Setting up for a contest should be no more
difficult.

Don,
No way could someone that was a real serious contester use the K3
with the
stock settings and score anywhere near the points that could be
scored
without changing the settings. A stock K3 is NOT a contest radio.
And I
think that's where a lot of the cons about the K3 happen. There
are several
settings in the K3 that must be changed to make the radio a contest
radio.
