(You can get directions from < URL:http://maps.google.com > with the 
above address)

What:

K3 Workshop

The goals are:

a) help anyone with a K3 to become more familiar with it;
b) allow non-owners a chance to get a good, hard, hands-on look at the 
radio;
c) provide a forum to allow owners to share their tips or experiences;
d) assist with mods/updates.

Schedule:

10:00 Welcome
10:05 KK7P Presentation: Distributed Engineering and the K3
10:45 Questions (and perhaps answers) and Tips

11:00 Demo of K3 Basic Modes of Operation
11:20 Demo of K3 Utility including Regular and Beta Firmware Updating
11:30 Demo of Diversity Reception
11:40 Demo of DVR!
11:50 Demo of 3rd Party Panadaptor(s)

12:00 Light Lunch and just hanging out

13:00 Prize Drawing (for K3 Owners only)
13:05 Help Folks with Mods on their K3s

Cost:

Free!

But please RSVP.  My lab is not infinite in size :-)  I can easily 
handle 15 people.  20 gets a little tight...

Further Information:

The intent is to be interactive, open, and participatory.

If you need a hardware mod on your K3, it is up to you to have the mod 
kit in hand and to bring your K3 to the workshop.  I'll provide 
microscope, solder, tools, workspace and assistance.

The prize is TBD but but will likely be something like a 5-pole roofing 
filter, or perhaps a KBPF3 or a DVR.

Hope to see you on the 22nd!

73,
