[Elecraft] K3: Is it wrong?

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

It is never wrong to be truthful. Sometimes it helps avoid hurt feelings if
you say "my S-meter is only hitting S1 but you're solid copy" instead of
"your signal is only S1 here..." That sort of puts the S1 in your shack and
not his <G> 

I far prefer the QSA reporting system: 1 to 5. 5 perfect copy. 1 is
detectable but not readable signal. Works for any mode. It's commonly used
on commercial systems, but we Hams aren't that logical <G>.

Is it wrong to give 5x2 signal reports? I was just listening to a 40 meter
net last night and pretty much heard everyone. I would say that many of the
signals were fully copyable but also clearly weak. (5x2 or 5x1 even) Also
noted that I heard more people than many others in the net. I was using a
little Outbacker on my truck tailgate. I didn't check in as it was clear
that not many would have heard me anyways. I am so impressed with this
radio. It is obvious to me that the K3 receiver is excetional.
