Tom,

FWIW the only K3 that I have heard running CW (as far as I know) is Vic's, 
K2VCO, on 40m when the path to CA was barely sort of open. Although Vic's 
signal was in the noise most of the time it was possible to copy much of 
what he was saying. This suggests that the K3's keying characteristics must 
be very "good".

Perhaps the K3 should also be called a "band opener" :-)

73,
