I'd be interested to know why you don't aim your starting point in the first
memory bank onto one of the target frequencies that you put into the second
bank.

As a proud appliance operator, I want
ease of use and punching in 1421400 plus
mode and split and then entering the B
split freq directly is
just too
The only thing I've found less than optimum is the b-set press to gain
access to sub-rx settings. It would be far more convenient to be able
to manipulate sub-rx filter settings, antenna selection, band changes
(eventually, as it's not supported in firmware yet), etc., w/o going
through
Can we get all the features Wayne currently has on his list first
please, before we start talking about a 'Pro' version? And then
perhaps the PA's?
Instead of a different model of K3, how about an extension panel, that
either supplants the front panel or better, is additional, by plugging
I wish I had a nickel for every time I changed the mode, when I wanted
to change the band, or vice a versa. I would use all those nickels to

Now if I can just figure out a way to stop VOX from coming on when I
go to phone, and screeching with the feedback. Which always

I don't have any of the problems Charles mentions. The K3 front panel is very
well designed, especially given its compact size. I change bands, modes and
frequencies frequently. Although I have little patience for memorization, I

Rob,
I agree with you.
I use also a FT857 (no D model) and i must say that i prefer the
controls/buttons configuration
of my K3. I must admit that the front panel size is not the same for
these 2 TRX!
I will just
Charles I don't have any problem driving my K3 in either contests or
just plain ragchewing... 3rd party software is not an Elecraft issue.
One of the best value contest programs is N1MM's Logger, it integrates
nicely to the K3 and will directly key it via the serial port with no
extra

Charles,
I also find that the way the front panel operates could be improved. But
when I purchased the K3 , I knew about all double functions in advance
(having a K2). Although I have more than a few flying hours on the K3, I
still have to think twice before I change band or mode. The rest
Charles must have been pretty tired at 1:17 AM EDT. I believe he lives in
Texas. Perhaps perspiration from a long neck trickled into his eyes and made
vision difficult, and he forgot about direct frequency entry.___

All contesters use logging programs, Charles, regardless of the type of
radio they are using. Contesting without a logging program is like living
without indoor plumbing. You can do it but in the first world you don't. No
radio on the planet changes this.

I don't find any difficulty discerning between push and push and hold,
that's been a feature of many consumer electronics for years. After 2 months
with the K3 I'm still not familiar with all the features, menus and buttons,
because I'm having more fun on the radio than I've had in years.
