Not if they bother to use the CWT tool ! :-)
The huge problem with the K3 is....you have to actually know how to
use the great tools it affords you with (in case you can't tell, that
is sarcasm).
I always used to "zero beat" (or adjust my xmit qrg accordingly
slightly high) by ear. But I have been, and continue to be, totally
wow'ed by the CWT and almost never use my ears for that any more,
except when I feel the need to confirm that my ears are at least as
good as the CWT [they are]....with the latter (CWT) being much better
for me because it frees up my hearing to focus on receiving CW rather
than tuning in by matching tones. When I read about the CWT before
any radios were delivered, I thought, "you gotta be kidding." Not any
more. CWT is just way more efficient (I'm a contester and time
matters).
