[Elecraft] In praise of the K3

[vk4cmv]

What a versatile little radio this is.

I spend too much time operating Jt65a on 30m where stations transmit around
500hz under where the WSPR signals appear. The notch filter is just great
for taking out the high pitched tone of loud WSPR signals. Not that most
other radios with a manual notch filter couldn't do the same - but it works
nicely for me.

I use the ubiquitous Yamaha CM500 headset which is permanently connected to
the phone jack at the back. The speakers are connected to the speaker jack
and I've programmed the PF1 key to switch speakers on or off - who cares if
the headphones are still active. Nothing connected to the front panel now -
clean solution - and no wear on the jacks at the back.

A while ago my shack was a patchwork of sound card interfaces, audio
connectors, and other wires - the K3 has allowed me to rationalise all this. 
I still use a K1EL Winkey - but that's my only vice.

I've had more fun with this radio than all the others combined.

thanks!
