k3 observed in SS

Cloud Runner-3
Worked two known K3's in the sweepstakes.

i heard MANY loud signals with nasty clicks or nasty phase noise.  I have a pretty good idea what kind of radios I was listeing to.

the two K3's i know I worked were in the hands of N6XI and K2VCO.  both were loud here.  and both were delightefully clean.  the cleanest radios on the band.

That's a joy to observe!!!!

I worked both N6XI and K2VCO with my K3. I didn't know they were running
K3's, but that would explain the vortex of K3 mojo that formed around my
antenna during those QSO's.

K3 #27 was also in the SS CW to the tune of 546 QSOs.

I'll post more later, but very briefly: I am totally blown away by the K3.

There was a point where I had to separate one signal from another maybe 200Hz or 300Hz away, and
call and work him. And I just turned a knob and the other signal went away*. And I worked the
desired station like it was almost nothing. Damn.

I have never operated a radio that was so easy to tune and isolate a signal. You just center it, and
crank down the width, and there it is. Damn.

*OK, there were some clicks - but they didn't matter! For reference, I have the 8-pole 400Hz and
250Hz filters installed.

* What Jeff is referring to is an slight receiver audio artifact that
occurs when adjusting the DSP filter passband. It only occurs at
certain passband settings, and only during actual adjustment. Lyle (Mr.
DSP) and I will be looking into this soon.
