Wes,
Thanks for the suggestion on the work-around for the restricted passband in
the CW mode on the K3. That was very thoughtful for your to spell it out in
that detail.
This is indeed the best work-around that I have found too, but not without
some awkwardness. 1- the CWT, spot, and decode

reasonable. Please respond off of the reflector.

Like some others I find the inability of the K3 PTT to be split between
HF and other equipment such as transverters irritating.
Also my K3 outputs a low on Key Out for about 1 sec on power up which
inconveniently activates external T/R relay switching.

Listening to CW in SSB mode certainly works to give you a wider window
but is inconvenient if you want to use CW functions like SPOT, PITCH,
CWT, which aren't available while listening in SSB mode, and trying to
keep in mind which mode you have selected at any given time...
Is there some reason
I know what you are saying. It's a long time for them to get the K144XV
shipped and it's a lot simplier than the P3. So my guess is the P3 will ship
July 2011 based on pass records of product shipments.

Skimmer uses another receiver, the band maps in the logging programs use

Let's end all Skimmer pro-con arguments -now- before this gets out of hand.
Any discussion of CW Skimmer's applicability for contesting is OT for this
