[Elecraft] K3 NuB

[tom]

I thought I was doing OK, but I really need a K3 for dummies.
Background: Really new at this. Assembled my own K3 #1755 and it was a
blast. Built a new shack for it.  My other HF rig is a Kenwood TS-430.
I am hear some but not much on the K3. I keep reading the manuals and
the Nifty book and go ahead two steps and back one or two.

Just installed the latest firmware, all went well.  I knew a friend had
a sched on  14.043  and gave a listen  and heard  just the background
hiss . I figured bad sunspots etc.   I turned on the 430 and bang all
kinds of CW, nothing on the K3.  I switched antennas...still nothing.
So, though I am having fun I guess I am not getting the same pleasure
out of my K3 that everyone else is.
I did finally hear my friend on 14.043 but I guess filter adjusting is
my weak point.

I am at the point that I do not know what questions to ask.  I believe I
did all the calibrations OK.
I wish there was a setup file to try

K3/10 w/ATU and filters 2.7 and 400
