[Elecraft] K3: Cross-Mode Diplomacy

[Bruce Prior]

Reading about Riley Hollingworth's Dayton talk about "lightening up" our 
intra-amateur discussions in <The ARRL Letter, Vol. 26, No. 22 (June 
1,2007)>, it occurred to me that a wonderful application of the K3 will be 
cross-mode diplomacy.  Suppose, for example, an RTTY station moves onto an 
on-going CW traffic net operation.  A K3 operator could quickly match the 
particular TTY mode of the interfering station and politely explain that a 
CW traffic net is already occupying the frequency.  As more and more 
operators appear on the bands who are Morse-challenged, this could become 
especially useful.
