Hi, Ed,

Thanks for taking the time to write all this down.  It is some great
information.

I can vouch for the fact that W0SD was all over the bands.  We had you in
the log several times.

73,

John, WA6L (contest call was W6B)



The IARU contest was the first chance to try SN#1037 out in more crowed 
band conditions.  We were multi-op single transmitter so three persons 
used the radio and we were both CW and SSB. It was a serious effort with 
1967 contacts in the 24 hours and over 1,000,000 points.  All the 
operators did not have any trouble adapting to the radio having never 
used a K3 before.

What a joy to have a radio that gets around a multitude of problems most 
radios have such as the FT-1000D 1000MP, TX-950SDX, Mark V, etc. in 
setting up for a contest.  CW with the computer into the key jack and 
paddle in the paddle jack using the internal keyer is Plug and Play.
