Put me down as another satisfied K3 user and soon to be owner. I used a K3 in the ARRL 160M contest. I had S9+ stations 200Hz up and 200Hz down, and the only way I knew they were there was when someone occasionally called them off frequency. I didn't play much with the controls- first major contest using a K3 as the Xcvr, so I kept it simple.
For the ARRL RU, I used a pair of K3s in FSK D mode. Again, performance was superb- there were many signals decoded and worked that could not be heard. I experimented a little more, changing passband and using the RTTY filters off an on. I found that the RTTY filter sometimes narrowed the bandpass too much- turning it off actually improved copy on some signals. My only complaint was that the RIT seemed to be turned off from time to time without me doing it; I was never able to figure out how it was being done, but it happened enough on the two radios that it wasn't my imagination. This was using two K3s, MK2R+, N1MM, and MMTTY plug-in. My result? Probably #2 World, #1 USA, and a new USA SOHP record. Put me down as another greatly satisfied K3 user. I ordered my K3 this morning. Dennis W1UE _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
