I have be reading most of the posts to the Elecraft reflector and it is quite intimidating. My plan is to apply power, connect an antenna and a mic and start playing. I just sold my Flex 5000A because I got tired of all the tweaking and discussion. Your post has given me hope. BTW, a good friend of mine in the Rochester area has just received 8 K3's for his multi-multi station. He doesn't think that the K3 is complicated at all."
Bob W6TR Fort Collins, CO Heartily agree Bob; I have K3#250 and being an impatient type, I simply plugged it in and operated....used the manual a few times for 'I wonder what that does?' Also would have epiphany while reading the forum messages, kinda like 'wow, that's great' and discover a new feature. I made the progression from FT1000D/MP>756 Pro II>Orion II (which I still have as backup) and K3/100. Each radio was better than last and a great deal of fun. Looking fwd to operating the cq ww cw with the K3; the only problem is with the tight roofing filters; what I think is a clear freq is probably too close to lesser rigs' tolerance, HI. 73 y saludos Tom CX7TT ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
