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!!!! 73, Fred - KT5X K2 # 0700 K3 # ???

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. - jeff wk6i *OK, there were some clicks - but they didn't matter! For reference, I have the 8-pole 400Hz and 250Hz filters installed. -- Jeff Stai [hidden email] Twisted Oak Winery http://www.twistedoak.com/ Winery Blog http://www.elbloggotorcido.com/ _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

It only occurs at certain passband settings, and only during actual adjustment. Lyle (Mr. DSP) and I will be looking into this soon. 73, Wayne N6KR --- http://www.elecraft.com _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
