        I was responding to your comment...

...which sounded like your VFOs were linked...i.e. when you moved
VFOA, VFOB would track.

This is a different issue and is normal...until the VFO IND firmware
is released.  Some early versions have been used by Field Testers but
Wayne has taken it back to the drawing boards for more work before we
do more testing.

Dear all,

I have plans for a K3. I am spending most of my time on the HF bands hunting
for new countries looking forward to make my 5 band DXCC with 300+ countries
in the next 10 years. Have room for modest antennas only. Any comments
regarding the suitability of the following configuration for the mentioned
purposed will be appreciated.

K3/100-F (100 W Transceiver
KPA3-F (ATU 100W)
KRX3 (Subreceiver)
KTCXO3-1 (Stable oscillator)
KUSB (USB)
KDVR3 (Digital Voice Recorder)
KXV3 RX Ant
2 pcs KFL3A-2.8_2.7sw replacement K3 and KRX3
2 pcs KFL3A-1.8 K SSB
2 pcs KFL3A-250 CW
2 pcs KFL3A-6K AM
2 pcs KFL3B-FM FM
Kenwood MC-60 microphone

Dear Kjeld,
You don't say what modes you are intending to operate.

I have removed all the extra filters from the list as I have found
the standard filter offering from Elecraft to be up to the job on
both SSB and CW. However, you might consider adding a 400Hz filter
for CW if that is your main interest.

The frequency stability of the K3 is excellent, so no need for the
high spec oscillator.

I have added a Heil headset, as although I have a love/hate
relationship with mine with regard to comfort, and it is way too
expensive, it does work well.

So this is my list...
K3/100-F (100 W Transceiver
KPA3-F (ATU 100W)
KRX3 (Subreceiver)
KUSB (USB)
KDVR3 (Digital Voice Recorder)
KXV3 RX Ant
Heil Pro Headset

Hope that this helps.

Dear Stewart

Would like to be ready for any mode that the DX will be running when the
band is open and I am QRV.

In which case you will also require the AM & FM filters.
