KR2Q sez: Not if they bother to use the CWT tool ! :-) The huge problem with the K3 is....you have to actually know how to use the great tools it affords you with (in case you can't tell, that is sarcasm). I always used to "zero beat" (or adjust my xmit qrg accordingly slightly high) by ear. But I have been, and continue to be, totally wow'ed by the CWT and almost never use my ears for that any more, except when I feel the need to confirm that my ears are at least as good as the CWT [they are]....with the latter (CWT) being much better for me because it frees up my hearing to focus on receiving CW rather than tuning in by matching tones. When I read about the CWT before any radios were delivered, I thought, "you gotta be kidding." Not any more. CWT is just way more efficient (I'm a contester and time matters). ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
