I know many of you are a CW die hard, but have you tried the new digital
mode FT-8?   It is from Joe Taylor, WSJT-X version 1.8.0-rc1.   Easy to
get up and running.   Specially a breeze with the K3S and its USB
communications.     It makes JT-65 and other modes appear like watching
an Oak tree grow.   The T/R times are 15 seconds and it decodes about 20
dB deeper than previous versions.

It also has a very nice receiver calibration mode.   I find that on most
bands my K3S is reported to have less than 1/2 Hz  error. {Big smile!}
