First impressions K3 on the CQWW

[Adriano Perazio]

Hello friends

After a week that i received my K3, jumped into the CQWW SSB contest this weekend.
The radio is really tuff and easy to use. Of course i have a long ride between filters and configurations but it´s a start.
I´m suffering w/ a strong power line noise here and the k3 fights better w/ that.
I´m using the KUSB cable for CAT connection w/ PC. I NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO WORK W/ (KDVR3) THE MACROS FROM THE K3 UTILITY & N1MM once they use the same port i cannot open n1mm and utility at same time.
All i can say i´m really happy.
I told my PRO3 i intend to operate SO2R but he´s afraid of going to another shack :)

SetUP
K3 w/ Proset Plus
Solit State amp 1K-FA
Optibeam 11-5
XM240
80m 8wires dipole

over 1600qso´s and 36 hours on the air.

Adriano,

You do not need to use the utility - you only need to set up N1MM properly.

The info to do so is here:

Mine worked great all weekend!
