Hi, all concerned:
The performance that cinched the K3 tight for me years ago was using it on
contest-grade antennas 1 to 3 hops from some of those remarkably loud
W2-W3-W8 CW DX contest stations on 40-80-160M.
Using the 200Hz narrow filter in the K3, I could hear weaker CW sigs, with
no keying artifacts, between, eg, W3LPL and K3LR adjacent each other, even
though they pinned the meter thru the wider filters.
The "comparison" rig, a Yazoo '857, was unusable on contest antennas on
contest weekends.
Tks to all those who have described mods to clean up the offshore dirtysig
clickmachines instead of using the artifacts to hold a run frequency.
W8JI.com, for example, has or had mods that clean up the clicks produced by
the venerable FT1000 rigs.
