[Elecraft] K3 Firmware 3.23 is very nice!

[Jim Miller KG0KP]

10 Hz tuning - fantastic!!!!  I have been waiting for stepping less than 50 
Hz.

Last night I was working PSK and the signal was fading bad and even when it 
was up it was S1 !!!.  I was getting some dropout and realized it may be 
because strong signals close on the band.  I cranked the width down and the 
shift until I only had his signal on the waterfall.  I continued to have an 
excellant QSO and had even forgotten about the fading until he asked how I 
was copying and when I looked sometimes there were NO bars on the S meter. 
I had perfect copy.  After the qso I looked and I had turned it down to 100 
Hz (using my 250 filter).

I had previously had trouble before getting it that narrow and having the 
signal in the center of the 50 Hz steps but NOW with the 10 Hz tuning I 
sould be able to uee it regularly.

THANKS again guys.  Nowhere else can somebody buy a reaio that continues to 
improve after they buy it and include features being requested by users 
AFTER they bought it!

73, de Jim KG0KP
