[Elecraft] K3 Complexity

[Doug Turnbull]

Wayne and Company,
    Thank you so much for listening and improving the AGC!!!!   Most K3
Contesters will thank their good fortune for their K3 and the amazing work
you good people put into tweaking the K3 into an even better radio! It is my
feeling that of late the radio of choice for use in contesting is the K3.
I do not wish to take anything from any other aspect of the hobby but if a
radio is going to go flat it will be happen in CQ WW.

     The new manual will be welcome and I admit to liking the idea of a
stand alone panadaptor - wow.   The keyboard would also be great.   We are
all peculiar but I do not want a PC permanently connected to the K3.   It is
my practice to disconnect the antenna and perhaps unplug the K3 supply when
not using the radio.  A PC connected to a hard wired LAN in our house leaves
me vulnerable to thunderstorms.   


"I don't find the K3 complex.  As a matter of fact, I rather enjoy
playing with the new features.
One doesn't have to upgrade the firmware if he is happy with the radio as
is."   Well put!   We are blessed and I am still very much in a learning
mode.   There are a couple of questions to be aired at a later date but boy
the K3 works.
