>From perennial multiop CQ160 winner W2GD: The other big change was replacing the ICOM xcvers with K3s equipped with the 2nd receiver and offering diversity reception. This was probably the single most important factor in our score increase over prior years. The K3 is everything it is reported to be, signals seemed to pop out of the noise. Fully 30 percent of the EU stations worked were not audible on a slave Icom xcvr using the phased EU beverages.
We also tried a Flex 5000 in a 3rd RX position. It has terrific dynamic range, rivaling the K3, but the user interface for contesting is not quite ready for 'prime time.' http://lists.contesting.com/pipermail/3830/2009-December/188528.html The word is finally getting out! 73 & HNY!
