Thanks for the suggestion N4OI but the R8 was released 16 years ago. I'd like
to take advantage of some modern receiver design.
Shane,
You could consider buying a used Drake R8 on eBay -- In my opinion it is a
fantastic general coverage receiver with sync dedtection and great sound.
You might
Ken,
I'm going to say what a lot of people are thinking but to polite to express.
I like your suggestion. After all the prime focus of the K3 design is
amateur band, CW,SSB, and digital modes. Having high performance for these
modes is its selling point. Asking it to do everything on all

FM is absolutely a majority mode everywhere but HF, but to have only heard 1
FM signal in 50 years implies not attempt to progress beyond HF.
FM is used all the time at VHF, though not for DX. That in Europe at least
includes 6m and up. There is

The blindness of the HF
I agree with the diversity of usage of rigs. I'm guilty of being the
blind HF op who only uses CW and a bit of SSB, but I'm really interested
in experiencing synchronous AM. I'd love to do some 10M FM just for
fun. I'm sure there are others like me who, while focusing on one mode,

Hi Brian,
There are many users of 10M and 6M FM and
many repeaters on these bands ... even several here
in Montana. (:-)
AM also has many users, especially on 75M and 160M.

It is clear that it isn't just the HF op who is blind.

I for one am looking forward to AM synch on the K3. (or will be, once
I've gotten my K3...). As strange as it might sound, I wouldn't have
ordered one if not for general coverage receive capability, so this
feature is pretty important to me. That and CW are my prime focus.
I don't have a problem
... Also, independent sideband selection would be nice as
well.
You can do this with the SubRx. Set one Rx for USB, the other Rx for
LSB, LINK the VFOs and you have it.
Yes, I know, the SubRx is not shipping yet. But they *are* being
manufactured and the one in my K3 *is* working.
73,
This hobby is not only for CW and SSB ops. The K3 developers can accept or
disregard any or all suggestions on this reflector.
I may not comment on many things here, but I try and monitor the
reflector as best I can.
The firmware currently being tested does FM (w/CTCSS encode, repeater
I just hope that bug fixes come above everything else on the

I hope bug fixes are prioritized appropriately on the list and many lower
priority bug fixes not addressed until options like the KRX3 are released.

And when will spark be implemented??? After all this takes us back to the

of Amateur Radio and it should not be allowed to die! No other radio on the
market addresses this mode and Elecraft now has the opportunity to
