BINGO! And how much fun would that be? Which is exactly why I don't care
for the computer-to-computer modes.

The K3 is the perfect rig for everyone. Why do I say everyone? Simple,
there are so many menu choices/settings that can be made - that the rig
becomes customized to each individual. In other words, the K3 offers so
much user versatility that it amounts to thousands of individual K3 rigs

No, it is not perfect. There was a time when I would have loved to spend
my time playing with each and every parameter to get things just as I
want them. To tweak the settings to pull out that weak station in the
midst of the giants. But not anymore. I have found I like simplicity!

I think “…just have to make do…” with Elecraft gear is just about the best you
can have with ham radio. :-)
As far as single button per function on an Elecraft type radio but using “boat

That's where the smarts of the radio come in. There would be no buttons
or menus for all of those features or configuration items. The radio
sets and optimizes itself. If there is QRM, the radio itself adjusts the
bandwidth, notch, agc, etc. to get the clearest signal. If there is
noise, the
Is there a button or combination of buttons/actions that can re-set the K3 to
the “Factory Configuration”? After years of tweaking there is strong
probability that one setting is competing against another. Suggestions?

The xyl always tells me that . . . I have read through the manual several
times. I was hoping, like my camera that has a myriad of menus and selections,
that someone has posted suggested setups for different modes - ie ssb or cw. At
this point looking at the selections available it would take
I downloaded the manual and read it several times before I received my
K3S. I find most hams believe they can operate any old radio and don't
need to read the stinkin' manual. HA!
As to operation, your QTH & noise, your antennas, your selection of
optional filters and options, choice of
The radio should work out of the box just fine. As you find areas where you
want to tweak a function ( ie filter width or keyer speed) read that portion
of the manual. Before you know it you will be an expert. The radio is very
forgiving and capable..Enjoy it while you learn it.

A great $ 50 investment is a download of Win4K3 which makes all this K3
tweaking a breeze. Tom offers a sample download to try before buying. Works
with the KX3 and on multiple computers too. No annual fee either. Buy it once !

Tristani,
Yes, there is a combination of buttons that will set the K3 (or K3S) to
the Factory Defaults.
In the process, several calibration settings are also set to the factory
standard default values - but those values may not be the ones that
exactly match your K3S - there are calibration
Jerry,
It's a great radio. It will do well even before
you "set up the radio for optimum performance" --
which is always a subjective term, anyway.
Just get it on the air and enjoy it :-)

Jerry,
Much of what you see on this reflector is the result of personal choices
of the various operators. Each of us has our favorite settings that
have been derived from our own personal desires and operating styles.
However, the K3 (and K3S) can be used "out of the box" with its default
