It works quite well if you can put up a second antenna that receives the
noise you are trying to eliminate. Directionality really has nothing to do
with it. If you can receive the noise at an adequate enough level, the
MFJ-1026 can be used to null it out by changing the phase of the undesired

I've used the MFJ-1026 combined with the NB/NR in the K3 to greatly
reduce all kinds of strange noise from the city. Often I need to
start with the MFJ-1026, to null out as much as possible and then I
hit the NB to get the rest. It's a fairly powerful combination.

A while back, I suggested a feature that could be toggled that would
allow the NR and NB dial to adjust like this: 1-2, 2-1, 3-1, 4-1,
1-2, 2-2, 3-2, 4-2, etc.
After constant use of the NR & NB features, I still think I would
prefer this proposed arrangement. Perhaps it will make it on the list
Sign me up for this feature too :)

I just got an MFJ-998 auto tuner to work with the K3. I'm using the K3 TUNE
function (15 watts) to trigger the auto tune function on the MFJ-998.
Generally, it works fine. However, if I try to tune up to a very
non-resonant band on my antennas where the SWR is very high, the K3 reduces

I have the same speakers and am very happy with them. The best part is the

I would hope that the KPA500 works with the same frequency range as the K3
for MARS. There are quite a few frequencies allocated for MARS usage that
fall between that 26-28Mhz. The K3 has the opened up range just about
perfect.

The K3 sounds very good as a SSB rig. Apart from a few digital modes,
that's almost all I use it for. You have almost complete adjustment of your
TX audio by adjusting 8 band EQ, compression, and noise gate. If you hear
one that sounds bad, it's more than likely a setup issue by the operator.
