Ran a new K3S that I just built in the RTTY contest this weekend. Mostly S&P with some minor runs. Kept the power to 70w. K3S fans never came on. If they did, they were really quiet. Probably could have put the power higher. Only the fan in my older P/S ocassionally came on. It was a good way to break in the new radio and run it through its paces. Used the P3 to find the stations and the CWT on the rig to fine tune them. Transmit monitor let me keep an eye on my signal. Used a 400hz roofing filter to dig out the close ones on a crowded band. Set the K3S to TX Data ( AFSK A - LSB). For TX Data set the Mic Sel to Line in, no VOX. This let me use the new USB Codec sound card and key the rig at the same time with N1MM+ and MMTTY. Really pleased with the performance.
