Wayne—I keep seeing mention of this “more detailed “ manual but have not seen it or heard when it will be available!? I need more details than are in the Operator’s manual.

I’ve been licensed since 1951 also and I think you old narrow-minded rag-chewers should stay away from FT8 frequencies. You are obviously too old to learn how FT8 really works! Meanwhile I’ll keep racking up new dx contacts there.

[Elecraft] K3s error message KP1
I am on 20 meters working FT8 and I keep getting an error message “KP1”. I don’t find that message in the K3s manual or in Fred Cady’s book. Can someone tell me what it means and what the remedy might be?

[Elecraft] KX Paddles
Hi guys I’m planning on buying a KX3 in the near future. Some time ago someone on the reflector said they thought the new KXPD2 paddles were better than the KXpd3 (less noisy I think he said.) Any pf you who have KX3’s and now also KX2 can now make that comparison. So what’s the verdict? Should I get the KXPD2 paddles with my KX3? I’d like to hear some opiinions pro or con. I am mostly a cw op.
