Had the opportunity to operate two, different K3 transceivers, both with the new KSYN3A boards, during FD.
A few CW observations: 1. The only way I became aware of a station moving close to me was when my "rate" dropped. A glance at the P3, or opening up the receiver bandwidth, always revealed that somebody loud had moved in really close. Since not everyone has K3 . . . my rate fell in what was QRM for other receivers. 2. The bands seemed really "big". I was always able to quickly find a run frequency when moving from another band or mode. 3. In spite of rainstorms for about 23 hours of FD, the bands seemed quiet and lightning crackles were quite subdued. I'm sure that these observations are routine for experienced K3 users. For somebody who is still trying to decide, or is still feeding the piggy bank, the K3 has one H3LL of a receiver--especially when equipped with the KSYN3A board. 73, K3YD ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
