Dean,
K3 is QRP compared to K2. 12W only!
73 Val LZ1VB
I presently have a K2 with 15 to 17 watts out. When I need QRO it runs my
AL-811H amp up to a few hundred watts so I have never needed the 100 watt
finals.
I am thinking that I will be able to do the same thing with the K3 as long
as
In my view, if it has to be one or the other, I would choose pre audio, ie
with no discernable delays. One of the biggest annoyances I've had in a
contest situation is adjacent operators shouting down the mic because they
don't or can't listen to a monitor of their own voice. Feedback is also
Dean, running the driver flat out or indeed the PA at full power
creates a high level of 3rd order IMD. If you run the K3 around 1/4
power the IMD on SSB transmit reduces by around 10 dB. It's not that the
K3 is particularly bad in this regard, almost all 12 Volt PA
transceivers are like it.
David,
It is not critical. Look at the reflector post by Jim Brown in the last
couple days - I received it 01/15/2010 at 12:06 Eastern time. Jim is
quite familiar with the microphone and explains it much better than I can.

I agree that having the option to have either real-time un-processed or to

Using a VGA cable probably won't bring all of the signals out to the
