My K3 is getting dusty

[Joseph Trombino, Jr]

Howdy Gang:

For those in the group that own both a K3 and a KX3,  I wonder if the same thing is happening to you.

I find my self using my KX3 almost exclusively on QRP and using my K3 only for a weekly SSB (pardon the acronym--grin) sked with a retired buddy in Virginia.

I am 100% CW QRP here (except for the SSB sked) and find I just like using the kX3 better than the K3.

Plus, being able to take the KX3 out and operate portable has occupied my operating time even more.

I guess I have Wayne, N6KR to blame for this.

So, thanks Wayne for letting my K3 get dusty...hey, I just remembered....it's time to wipe the dust off the K3... it's that day of the week (grin).

                                        73, Joe W2KJ
                                        I QRP, therefore I am

Yeah, same thing here.  As a 100% QRP CW op it's really hard to justify
any other radio, especially with KX3 dual watch

still learning my way around the KX3 but figure this will bite someone else.

I have the KX3 set up for keying from N1MM logger in preparation for CQWW.
In chasing PT0S on 15cw I notice my receive frequency went down every time
I called (which running 5w and a big pile up I did a lot).  Went to MENU and
found the MIC BTN was on but not able to change since I was in CW mode.
Changed to SSB, put MIC BTN off and all was stable.
