I'm guessing the other recommendations were for running JT65HF,
because if you intend to do JT65B on 2m-eme, I strongly urge you to
get the TCXO3-1. The standard TCXO is only 5ppm (+/- 140-Hz on
10m). For best operation on 2m-eme one should stay within 20-Hz bw
(+/- 10-Hz). The TCXO3-1

I don't know of any, but, I could be wrong. All of the current crop of

Went to your web site someone misinformed you about the general coverage
receiver it Does Not take up and extra space nor does have to be removed
to install everything.
What you were thinking is the sub-receiver and yes it does go in on the top
almost, there is the 2m module in there also.
It's possible that they didn't misinform me as much as I read it wrong so
thank you!!! Great to know since I wanted to put as much together as
possible in the first go around. 2M module wasn't that interesting to me
as I don't do much VHF work anymore outside of Dstar.
Thanks for the update -

I did not mention a price and that was intentional for all the obvious
reasons there were some in the 10k+ range. My K3 (loaded) replaced a
FTDX-5000MP and with the P3/SVGA both about the same price $6000 range.

Yes you gained a lot in receiver performance/filtering/NR over the 9000, I
had not much over the 5000 but the filtering and the sub-receiver is what
made me switch.

If you make that change, I think you may have a problem with running split.
However, with the new release of HRD this problem was cured in the CAT

Jeff,
Working split, you will be listening to the 'pack' with the subRX,
Since your interest does not include diversity, I would suggest that you
install the width filter for CW that will provide the most benefit in
separating the 'pack' so you can tell who the DX is working.
On that basis,

Actually, it was spark that played a role, and we probably won't hear that from
the Titanic II, since it hasn't been legal on the air since 1938.
CW was still at least a decade off, though the date seems to be elusive.
Spark was still the mode used in 1920 for ships at sea, as chronicled in
My own research done for a recent club presentation suggested that Spark
was dead around 1920 for commercial purposes as a result of Lee
DeForest's vacuum tube which ushered in the age of CW. I also found
several references to spark having been outlawed for use on the ham
bands in 1923-1924.
