David The onboard tuner is pretty handy and fast tuning. I have a couple 1KW size outboard manual tuners but still use the K3's often. If you don't contest much and don't plan to record off the air the KDVR3 might be overkill. Last I heard, KDVR3 won't stream rx audio to an external device such as your PC's HDD.
The tuner, btw, is only useful for impedance matching. Its an L section which will not attenuate harmonics. 73 Art -- 73 Art Allison, Colorado "Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you are right." --Henry Ford.

I have a nice Palstar tuner and an ACOM amp.? I am mostly a SSB guy, not big on contests or FM.? Given these resources and needs my planned configuration for the new K3 is: K3/100? KXV3A IF Out and RX Ant.?General?coverage RX bandpass ?KDVR3-DVR? KUSB 500 Hz 5pole CW filter and 6kHz AM/ESSB 8 pole filter.? Thoughts? Am I unwise for not including the internal ATU even though I have the Palstar? Thanks and 73?
