I totally agree with you Rob! As an example the VK9DWX from Willis Island was rolling in on 1826.5 for more than 4 hours yesterday. They were listening up 3 and down 3 changing direction rapidly with heavy Eu and JA pileups. I enjoyed listening to their ability to handle those huge piles. What rigs are they using?? You guess. My K3 can stand the large EU signal levels on 160 without any problems, simply the best RX I have ever used.
Just like NV5E I like the HRD solution but can manage the K3 without it. Thus, no need for Elecraft to invent another wheel, thank you. I wish you all a nice Sunday! Len SM7BIC ............................. I don't find any difficulty discerning between "push" and "push and hold", that's been a feature of many consumer electronics for years. After 2 months with the K3 I'm still not familiar with all the features, menus and buttons, because I'm having more fun on the radio than I've had in years. The radio is just a joy to use. I don't find that switching modes or bands is a problem. Sometimes I have to fish around for a setting in the menus or look at the manual, but it's not as difficult as my FT-857D! As for a computer control program try Ham Radio Deluxe, the developer, Simon Brown, owns a K3 and HRD does a fine job. No need for Elecraft to reinvent the wheel.
