[Elecraft] [K3] CQWW SSB observations

[Arie Kleingeld PA3A]

During the last CQWW SSB we had my K3 aside with two 756 pro III's and an
FT2000 at PI4D.

All operators agreed that it was very easy to operate the K3 and that it was
not the most handsome of the three but nobody cared. All eyes were on the
N1MM screen and the hands on the keyboard.

Excellent performance and easy to operate filters, gain and balance between
sub and main rx. No problem for the newbies either.


The only person who cares about all the menu possibilities is me. And I do
that about once per month if a new FW release comes along. Once the menu
item is set, there is very little need to change things.

73,

Rumor has it (second hand) that some Contesters are now shying away  
from the K3 due to it's complexity, but not necessarily it's performance. As
a  
relatively experienced owner I had no problem running what I consider to be

excellent radio. I've owned or operated most of the modern rigs sold in the

last 15 years, and find the K3 (and my IC-765) to be the best of the group.
