Phillipe Mine has 6.0, 2.8, 1.8, 1.0, and 500hz I keep dxing every night on 40M with the 1.8 roofer engaged and the DSP set at same BW with the width at 1.0 and what impress me the most is how I can be at just 2Khz away from a signal of 20db over S9 and still be able to pull a 55 to 57 signal from Europe without been bothered by the close station,I have never been able to do this with any of the good radios I owned before. I am using also the AGC settings of N1EU with satisfactory results. Like I said,its a total enjoyment to operate this K3 73 AD4C

Race cars need fine (and often) tuning to get their best for each races, K3's are the same. But my main main thing is to enjoy and have a lot of fun to chase the weak signal, specially in big pilups in SSB with my exotic callsign. Using for ssb FC: 0.95 and Width: 1.6k (6k, 2.8 & 1.8k filter installed) AGC mainly OFF in that case and do not attempt I will respond first to the biggest signal. Use the N1EU AGC settings http://n1eu.com/ with good results. Personal rule: ssb=qro if needed but cw, exclusively qrp max 5w or qrpp. MIC= MH2 and SONY MDR 7505 Headset, Keys: Vibroplex + straight key Siemens Baumuster T1, both connected.

I'm just glad I bought my K3 before I got too involved in some of the discussion on here. If I hadn't I might not have done it and then I would be missing out on this wonderful radio. To paraphrase what some others have said: "This one is a keeper and I am taking it with me to my final resting place!"
