[Elecraft] K3: The ARRL RTTY Round UP

[Lee Buller]

Ladies and Gents....

I just about cleared a thousand Qs this weekend in the RU in only 17 hours of on-the-air time.  The K3 was spectacular in performance.  The RX is magnificent and copied signals that I could not hear out of the speaker but printed on the screen.  This happened many times.  From Kansas, I did get to work some deep Europeans and even Israel called me.  I did not hear any Russian stations at all.  The DX was weak but workable.  Magnificent RX.  The TX was healthing and robust.  I was running my amp so I was only running about 60 watts or less.  The TX stayed cool and stable.

The only issue I noticed was that between Dual PB on and off...the power would drop about 200 watts.  No big deal, but interesting phenomonon.  With the Dual PB on...the power would drop...with it off...the power would return to normal.  Wayne and Eric already know about this issue.

Thanks to all who worked me.  Fun contest.

In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply.  If you don't have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it.  If you can't find any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense.  Is Common Sense divine?
