Put me down as another satisfied K3 user and soon to be owner.
I used a K3 in the ARRL 160M contest. I had S9+ stations 200Hz up and
200Hz down, and the
only way I knew they were there was when someone occasionally called
them off frequency.
I didn't play much with the controls- first major contest using a K3 as
the Xcvr, so I kept it simple.
For the ARRL RU, I used a pair of K3s in FSK D mode. Again, performance
was superb- there
were many signals decoded and worked that could not be heard. I
experimented a little more, changing
passband and using the RTTY filters off an on. I found that the RTTY
filter sometimes narrowed the
bandpass too much- turning it off actually improved copy on some
signals. My only complaint was
that the RIT seemed to be turned off from time to time without me doing
it; I was never able to figure
out how it was being done, but it happened enough on the two radios
that it wasn't my imagination. This
was using two K3s, MK2R+, N1MM, and MMTTY plug-in.
My result? Probably #2 World, #1 USA, and a new USA SOHP record. Put
me down as another
greatly satisfied K3 user.
I ordered my K3 this morning.
