Hi all,
  I'm  new to the reflector, but did use my brand new K3 (ser #76) last 
weekend in CQWW CW from P49Y, as a single band 40M HP entrant.
  I loved the K3, and never felt that I was bothered by adjacent channel 
interference.  Also, the sound was much cleaner than with our PRO2s, without 
any digital clutter or artifacts floating around in the audio field.
  One feature I would like is to be able to display certain parameters 
without having to rotate the knob and thus change them.  These include:
  --RIT.  I've been in email contact with Wayne and understand that he may 
add an option for continuous display.
  --Bandwidth.  I did change the settings frequently, depending on the size 
of the pileup. I have the 400 Hz 8-pole and 200 Hz 5-pole filters.  I 
generally used a wider setting, but did go down to 200 and 150 at times.
  -- Power.
  Not sure how this would be implemented, as the natural approach (tapping 
the control) already has another function.  Maybe two quick taps?
  I'll post more comments later and would be happy to answer any questions. 
Overall, the K3 was a delight to use.  Congratulations to all involved in 
its development.
 73, andy, ae6y, p49y
