N6TR:

second one so I can fully move my SO2R station over to them.

Considering the source this is an outstanding
endorsement! Tree N6TR is one of the best SO2R ops
in the world. He often wins the NCJ CW Sprint which
is probably the most difficult contest in the world.
It's a 4-hour event where you must QSY at least 5 kHz
after working anyone answering your CQ, so it is a
true test of rig and operator agility. If my memory
is correct, Tree holds the QSO record with something
like 425 QSOs. Tree is also the author of TR Log so
he also knows how rigs should interface to computers.
Tree is also very understated. You won't see
a lot of superlatives in his comments but you can be
assured his comments mean that the K3 is not plagued
with poor ergonomics or serious firmware issues, even
at this early stage of beta-testing.
Congratulations to the entire Elecraft K3 team
for an outstanding endorsement from one of the best
contest operators on the planet!
73, Bill W4ZV
P.S. Do my comments qualify me for early shipment? ;-)
