Johnny,
My apologies, I misread thinking it was a KNB2. I use that and the DSP unit
together. I have a KAF2 which I am not using and find that the flexibility of
the DSP unit is greater. For some reason I was more focused on noise.

Steve,
Elevated radials are not the same as buried radials - while related,
they are not the same. Elevated radials must be resonant, but in-ground
radials are untuned - those simply make the earth a better ground screen.
If the desire is for the antenna to be resonant (so it is easily fed

I agree that constant riding the RF Gain should not be necessary, But
on any one band, reducing the RF Gain to the point where the atmospheric
noise is not readily apparent does make a lot of sense to me. Set in
that way, one does not have to listen to a lot of band noise and the AGC
There were at least a few of us running LP and QRP who did OK with our K3's :
K1HTV, OH1VR/VP9, OK1FKD... and, at least, one future convert that I know

Many of us little guns don't have the antenna advantages of the big
boys, both the K2 and K3 have been great equalizers in the rough and

I agree with that. When I am in a SSB contest from KP2M I have the RF gain
at 3 o'clock all the time. For 20-160M I have on the Attenuator. For 15M no

alive again). Don't much vary the AF control - usually at 9:30

Interesting reading. I'm surprised none of these contesters got the memo
about how big guns would never buy a K3 because it didn't have 200W or 1,000
knobs on the front panel. I guess they haven't used the K3 enough to see the
inherent flaws...

I don't think there's standard pricing on any of Rose's products because
they're custom. Just email or call with your specifications and they'll
quote you a price. The deluxe large cases I bought were about $150 each, not
including shipping and the foam inserts. The key cover was $21.

Conway,
If you have an oscilloscope, dragging it out is *not* overkill - it will
show you the peak to peak RF voltages as well as the waveform.
Lacking the 'scope, you can build up the RF Probe - the parts are
supplied with the K2 kit and the circuit board is part of the 'switch
spacing tool'.
Don,
If you are sizing a webpage or a computer presentation screen, I would
suggest that 1064 x 768 is the lowest common denominator that one should
strive for in today's computer world. If you want to be safe with older
computers, then use 800 x 600 as the max. If it is ham related, I would
