*Joe,
Thanks for taking the time to conduct the tests.
Now that I understand what the rationale for the request to Wayne, I am of
the same mind also.
As I use the FM filter rarely I would also be able to free up a filter slot
and add an additional narrow filter which would be good for me also.
*Joe,
I have to ask, why?
In VK we have a 3Khz SSB BW written into our LCD's and yet some folks
consume 10Khz out here on a net which tears up a considerable amount of
spectrum.
What advantage do you see to widen the ESSB?
Not sure I follow your thoughts here, hence the question Joe.

Using the FM filter does no widen ESSB or AM ... the bandwidth of
those modes is determined by the DSP modulator. The only thing
the 8.215 MHz crystal filter does is to provide some additional
protection against
*Has anyone got a K3 with the 2M and 70cm transverters got any comments
plus or minus as to performance.
I don't have them myself but a VK is about to order his K3 and will be
adding these transverters.
His interest is HF, 2 and 70cm and not 6M.
I thought I would ask here as I don't know what
*Art
The Auxbus cable without the adapter carries the PTT function also so maybe
that is also an issue that FW may not be able to change?
With the addition of the KAT500 into the K-Line this may become even more
difficult as the Auxbus cable will run from the K3 to the KAT500 and then
to the

*I have often suspected this happens. Some of the dirtiest signals found on
the band are contest stations we hear in VK from EU regions.
Maybe we should make it 59 for good, 19 for bad...:-)

*I wonder if the original request for information was a result of having
CW+SSB turned ON, AND the K3 was in split?
I just checked and mine does the same thing.
With split active, CW+SSB does not allow the K3 to TX, the Red LED remains
OFF but the SPlit indicator LED is lit and the K3 LCD
*Tony,
I have worked them on 4 bands so far bbut I have noticed they continually
ask for a partial call sign to be repeated. By this I noticed they will ask
the station ending in Tango your call? and they do this with almost every
call and most of the time on all bands.

*Interesting discussion locally here in VK.
Is there any advantage in having the Copper ground rod surrounded by

Hope this doesn't get too far off topic or develop into a prolonged

I agree that the 15 step DNR control on the FT5000 is a very useful and

*I have watched the thread since it appeared and I do concur with Adrian's
thinking that if an Advanced menu was to be added then I see no issue for
the newer owners whether they be new to Elecraft or the hobby.
Protecting the 'innocent' should not mean standing in the way of
progress:-)
*Eric makes the point that this increase is cost related. Many
manufacturers do this of course and some just bring out a new model and the
additional cost pressures are built into the new model pricing.
Nice to see Elecraft continue the products currently being sold and just
make a cost
