[Elecraft] K3 - This thing does everything!

[Ken Kaplan]

Hi guys.
Worked 33 contacts in the NAQP contest on 80, 40 and 20.
Nice not having to use a computer at all. But you need to be watching 
that display for the exchange!!

The funny thing that happened, was when I worked Lee, K0WA.
As his name scrolled by, my wife had walked into that shack, saw it, and 
said, 'Hey, the new radio tells you the person's name also!' So, I had 
to explain RTTY and the decode function.

But all-in-all, I had a great time for the short amount of time 
participating. I had a bit of trouble getting the PSK and RTTY data to 
decode. It would have been easier if I read the manual first and it said 
you also need text decode on also! Not just DATA MD chosen! Oh well, 
lots to learn with this radio. I've retired the TS-570 after 10 years.
