[Elecraft] K3 - A CW rig?

[Larry Maguire]

Fred,

I think the CW ops jumped first on ordering. There have been ssb reports
about the K3, but there has probably been more discussion about the CW side
of the rig so far.

I am going to order early next year and will only use the rig for 75 meter
ssb and some am broadcast band reception. I believe I will be satisfied with
the rig. As time passes, I predict there will be more ssb activity,
including driving linear amps, with the rig than cw.

Eric and/or Wayne if you read this post, I hope you will come to the
Charlotte, NC Hamfest in March(?) 2008 with the K3 or send Lisa.

Seems like much of the K3 Reflector correspondence, and even the discussons
of K3 Filters, invariably
ignores the SSB mode in the K3.   Is the K3, like the
K2, again looked at as a CW contest rig?   For those
hundreds who received their K3's so far, there haven't been an practical
"how it works" posts.

This retired ham, is waiting until after 1 Jan, to decide when to order my
K3.  In a way it seems like the rig is still early in its product
introduction, maybe later would be better.
