K3

[Barry N1EU]

A question, a suggestion,  and a coupla comments:

Am I correct in assuming that you need to order the KXV3 Xverter
interface in order to get the RX ANT input?

Please provide the capability to disable transmitting on the 2nd
Antenna, to allow the possibility of using a second rx antenna.

Comments based on 4 years of Orion useage:
1. In the Orion, the 600hz 4-pole xtal roofing filter is all that is
needed for cw ahead of the dsp, in even the toughest conditions (160M
cw contests) with adjacent s9++ signals and tightest selectivity
settings.  Not sure if this will hold true for the K3, but it should
be predictable based on the dynamic range downstream.
2. I NEVER use the Hi/Lo Cut controls (in favor of Width/PBT-Shift)
and not sure that anyone else does.

Yes.

The KAT3 allows this configuration.

I often use Hi Cut/Lo Cut on SSB.  I generally use Shift/Width in CW and
Data modes.

With the K3, the choice is yours at the tap of a knob.
