Dear OMs/YLs:
I thought you might be interested in my spatial CW reception project. See:

It's the second link down.

Will the new K3 be able to TX on the Alaska emergency frequency of
5167.5 kHz? This is close to the 60 meter band, but not a "ham band"
frequency. This channel is authorized to hams in or near Alaska for
use during emergencies, and contacts between hams and non-hams (for
example, the police or a commercial HF user) are authorized when the
situation calls for it. The authorization is for SSB (USB) only, 150
watts max output.
Also, this was touched on, but I would like a bit of clarification -
One of my favorite ways to operate CW during a contest or DX pileup
is to use both the main receiver and the sub-receiver in my Yaesu Mark
5 set to the same frequency but with different filter bandwidths, for
example 400 Hz on the main and 500 Hz on the sub, which gives a
quasi-stereo effect to the sound. When using a stereo headset, the
different bandwidths make the signals seem to have a spatial
differentiation that really helps sort out the pile. The only fly in
the ointment is that on the Mark 5, you have to hold down a
front-panel button to get the VFOs to track, which creates sort of a
pain where I sit. Having the ability to have the 2 VFOs track
automatically would be a big help.
Otherwise, congratulations. My K2 works just FB, but the panel is a
bit small. Maybe I can think about replacing one or even both of my
Mark 5s. Anyone out there want to buy a fully loaded Mark 5? <grin>
regards -
- Jim, KL7CC
