Hi David,
We ( Vienna Wireless Society) have had multiple Elecraft K3s our for our
field day. Did not seem any more difficult that other radios we have had
out. I think there is a locked setting to limit amount of messing up the
settings. We usually had someone around that knew how to reset

One of the gang brought his K3 to Field Day last year, but I think he
was pretty much the sole op.
We operate in the four-transmitter class, so there isn't much need even
to change bands.
Although, we've had pretty much an exclusive K2 Field Day since they
were available.

I agree. I have used my K3 at Field Day the last 2 years. It was used
as the CW or data mode station. If you do not allow it to be open and
pawed by all the folks passing by, it will be OK. The operators who
are using the K3 can be informed quickly about the necessary controls -

Once again, I took my K3 to F/D this year with the P3. Again, I had a tough
time getting to sit down at my own transceiver. It seemed as soon as
someone got up from the operating position, another butt was in the seat.
Many comments were heard praising the receiver, the vox, the smoothness of
I had a similar experience. My K3 was used on CW and digital modes,
and only about a half hour on CW.
Our club had a guest operator who was very proficient with CW, and he
was quite pleased with the K3 and the way it operated.
He especially was excited by the QSK. the auto-spot and the DSP
Sorry, that half hour was on SSB - most of the time was on CW. 289 CW
contacts in about 11 hours CW operating time - not bad for a
fun-oriented operation.

The Anne Arundel Radio Club once again convened for Field Day in Davidsonville,
MD on Saturday. This year was going to be very different. In years past we have
had one K3 in the CW tent and none anywhere else. This year I brought my two
K3s along for the CW shelter and three other club members
We used my K3 for the CW station at the WS4Y effort for the 3rd year in a
row. 989 QSO's using a 135' zepp at 60' and the K3 internal tuner.

I'm going to use my K3 at our FD, mostly for the CW station but I'm sure some
may want to try it on SSB in a contest environment. I would appreciate any

Is there any problem with running my K3 on CW at 120W for the 24 hours of field
day? It will be in a semi air conditioned trailer. I'm trying to give all the
CW ops in my ham club the opportunity to work the K3 on CW during a contest.73,

Why would you want to run it at 120 watts? I'm just curious. If it is a
concern, why not run it at 100, 80, 50 or even 10 watts?

I'd back it down to a nice, clean 80-90 watts, and spend my time
