TNX for the clarification from everyone about the K2 Pro-Set and the K3!  I hope to 
try it out this evening after my 6m moonbounce activities today.

In answer to Jim's question, the reason for the W2IHY Audio Equalizer and Noise Gate 
is because I still can't get rid of my IC746, since the K3 does not work on 2m :-( 
Furthermore, just because I have a K3 doesn't mean I only operate QRP....my homebrew 
amplifiers here sound like a jet plane taking off, and the Noise Gate prevents that 
annoying loud background noise from being sent out over the air when I am on SSB.

Hmmmmm.....come to think of it, that might be something for Elecraft to think about 
adding into a future firmware update....I'll bet they could easily incorporate it 
into the audio circuit controls just like they do for VOX ;-)

GL and VY 73, Lance
