The K3S and K3 also draw a lot less current than your average high-performance desktop radio, typically 900-1200 mA in RX mode. This can greatly extend operating time for lightweight DXpedition, RV, or Field Day stations that are battery powered.
A few other features come into play during field operation: - four one-touch CW/DATA/voice message memory switches with auto-repeat (M1-M4) - up to 8 programmable front panel switch macros for doing things like "VFO A->B, VFO B up 2 kHz, turn on split" (etc.) with a single switch press; these can be customized for different kinds of operation - built in clock/calendar, voltage, and current display (on VFO B) - built in data modes for casual operation on PSK31 or RTTY without a computer (every Field Day, when I get tired of working CW or SSB, I'll prowl the 20-meter data sub-bands and work stations with the keyer paddle and message memories; you can also use the P3/SVGA with a keyboard) 73, Wayne N6KR On Aug 20, 2015, at 2:34 PM, "Doug Turnbull" <[email protected]> wrote: > Jer, > Besides the points already mentioned the K3 will handle very strong > nearby signals better than most other radios.... ______________________________________________________________ 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]
