K3 AUTONOTCH works great!

[K5WA]

Wow, I was helped tremendously by the K3's auto notch this weekend during
the SS SSB.  When you set up camp and call CQ for any period of time, you
usually get some LID that hates contesters show up and plant a carrier on
your CQ frequency but when this happened this weekend, I hit the auto notch
button and ZAP, it was gone!  In fact, it even seemed to clear the frequency
around me by having the 20 over 9 carrier on me.  I could easily work guys
right through the carrier (which I couldn't hear at all with the NOTCH on).


Now, if I could only get all the RFI out of my SO2R headphone circuits, I'd
be a happy camper.  I wonder if Wayne or Eric have a button for that.  ;-)

I think the manual notch is even more effective.  Several times
during SS SSB I sidled up to a BC station on 40, about 2100 Hz
away, and was able to tune out the carrier completely with manual
notch.  There was very little effect on the SSB audio passband.
I first tried auto-notch, but it didn't seem to work as well, at
least in this non-dynamic situation.
