I cannot believe the threads we get here.... The K3 is my main station. I used it along for rag chew...Dxing...and contesting. It runs SSB - CW - PSK - RTTY. It feeds a AL82 and a lot of antennas on a city lot. Again, it is my main rig. I have no Y or K or I or T in the shack. I do have a K2 because I love the rig. I also have a Knight T-50, a Drake 2B, and a HQ-110. I use the K3 for everything. It never moves off the desk. If I want to set a parameter...I used the menus or a computer program. It is not hard. I find the rig perfect in size. I pound on this rig weekly. (read: use it regularly if you cannot understand idioms. Don't think I have a hammer in the shack whacking on it each week.)
If you want buttons....get a Y or K or I or T ... but I am happy with all the features of the K3...and it has ... I repeat ... has gotten better since I got in two years ago. It has great buttons...very sexy! :>) The K3 is the best I have used. Now...if you want no knobs...or menus...go buy and old TT Triton IV. Now that was skimpy with knobs and buttons. Don't forget to get a external VFO for split. Lee - K0WA ... _._ In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply. If you don't have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it. If you can't find any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense. Is Common Sense divine? Common Sense is the image of the Creator expressing revealed truth in my mind. - J.
