Re: [Elecraft] DTMF Tones on the K3

[Myron Schaffer]

…unless you are digging weak signals out of the moon using it as an IF rig. 
Never such as thing as too much performance in an IF rig. I can see why EME-ers 
just want a little bit more. One of my Elmers, Al, W0PUF and I participated in 
the 1995 ARRL EME Contest with a Scientific Atlanta 10m dish spec’d for 4 GHz 
and a TS-700SP/HB amp with a pair of 4CX250Bs with an Ameco Rx conveter with no 
pre-amp…and got five QSOs from the W0BLK Club station out near Ellsworth AFB in 
Box Elder, SD. Worked the big guns only, like Al, WB5LUA and KB8RQ to name two. 
Ah, memories…I remember when we were working on the feed in the bird bath mode 
and a flock of migrating Sand Hill cranes were going south for the winter in 
formation directly overhead. I was in the focal point of that 30 foot dish and 
told Al on my HT to watch the flock as I made some noise. So Al got out the 
door in time to hear me issue some vocal shotgun blasts, “BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!” I 
shouted and be darned if they didn’t scatter…Awesome. They were way up there, 
like 10,000 feet maybe, who knows but I could hear them as if they were right 
there, trumpeting away. I miss Al.

I'm probably going to regret sending this and this is just my opinion.

It seems to me using the K3 as a V/UHF FM rig is akin to using a 
Thoroughbred race horse to pull a manure spreader.
Yeahit'll do it but there are better tools to use.
One thing the Japanese are better at is designing inexpensive, full 
featured V/UHF FM gear.

K3 and my Yaesu FT-8900 sitting next to each other and I want to 
blah,blah,blah on the local repeater. The Yaesu will get used 
99.995% of the time.
Sorry Elecraftyou aren't even in the neighborhood on this one.

work and 6 meters (easily drives my LDMOS SSPA to 1 KW.

[David Pratt]

Many thanks, Joe and Don, for that useful information which I shall keep
in mind.  I would, however, like to continue using my D104 microphone
with which I receive outstanding good quality reports.

I agree with Joe, but there is a typo - the brown wire should end up on 
pin 6.

Overloading the K3/K3S front panel buttons with yet a *third* function
is a recipe for disaster.
