K3: copying 5 weak signals within a 50hz BW

DOUGLAS ZWIEBEL
OK...so we (several of you) have identified a similar situation of
"mushiness."

Just out of curiosity, did anyone have a 2nd receiver (non-K3) handy
to see if IT could "copy" the signals cleanly?

Also...
IMO, copying a slight tone shift (ala W4ZV link, which is VFB) is a
lot different than trying to copy multiple (weak) signals all at about
the same pitch, all of which are sending digital (cw) information.  I
think the brain will try to zero in on one, but that will be
exceedingly difficult to do, since no one signal ends up being an easy
focus.

Thanks,
de Doug KR2Q

Yes as matter of fact I do have a second radio sitting alongside the K3
and I
split the antenna to both receivers for receive, so its a apple to apple
comparison,  the second radio had no problems at all in the pile up,  was
not going to mention I used the second radio to work the pileup and
then went back to the K3 later.
I know someone will ask,  second radio is a modded FT-1000D.  not mp
not mk v not field,  modded D..
