K3-style knob

Ken Kopp
I'll buy one!  The sharp edge on the K2's knob and the lack of
a finger-dimple ... I did buy one of the after-market dimples ... is
about the ony thing I've found to grump about ... oh yes, there is
the "buried" clock display .. (:-)) Need to look and see if the K3
has a visible clock display.

I haven't tried putting a K3 VFO A knob on a K2. It's quite a bit
larger, which means it would overlap the LCD's bottom edge, and would
likely interfere with the knobs at the left.

The K3's VFO B knob is smaller than the K2's present VFO A knob.

Now, all that said, we should be able to design a "little
brother"-sized knob for the K2 that looks like the K3 knob.
Unfortunately I won't be able to get to that for awhile.

Yes, it does.  The VFO B display is alphanumeric, and if you tap the
DISP button to the left of the display you can show many things, one of
which is a clock.

Oh, and the clock is an alarm clock that can sound a gentle beep as well
as turn the radio on in time for your net or sked :-)

PS - and no, the K3 does not (yet?) decode WWV and use it to set your
clock.  We had to leave something for you to do!!!

Lyle,
Here is a good question for your DSP FAQ: Will there be opportunity for
a sufficiently motivated programmer to do such things (i.e. Any access
to the AF or IF DSP layer?)

K3 clock display and alarm/sked-wakeup feature

The K3 has a very easily-accessible time display. You can leave it up
on VFO B continuously, if you like. You can also see the date, power
supply voltage, power supply current, and other info.

There's also an alarm function. If you set the alarm time, the radio
will beep at you to remind you of a sked or start of a contest. If the
radio is turned off, it will turn itself on at the appointed time. Of
course this feature is optional, and the default is OFF.

But it'll be helpful for those of us who always forget when they're
supposed to be somewhere!

Pre-ordering questions

Ken Kopp
Looking at the price sheet with calculator in hand ...

How many filter options can be installed?

Does the 10W version use the KAT-3 tuner, or is
there a low-power tuner option, as in the 10W K2?

Have the first 200 been sold, or if you get more than
200 pre-paying buyers can you accomodate more? Will
you accept a 50%-paid order for yet-to-be-determined
version?  I assume I can pre-pay 50% of a K3/10 and add
later, before delivery?

I hope you have extra staff manning the phones on Monday!

Five in the main receiver, 5 in the subreceiver.  There will be more
filter options announced as time passes and we test them.

KAT3.  There is one internal autotuner model for the K3.

Bring it on!

I'll let someone else answer the rest of your questions.

Thank you for your interest, Ken!

We'll review the situation on Monday and provide additional guidance
ASAP. I don't think the first batch of 200 will go this weekend.
