Hello friends

After a week that i received my K3, jumped into the CQWW SSB contest this weekend.
The radio is really tuff and easy to use. Of course i have a long ride between filters and configurations but it´s a start.
I´m suffering w/ a strong power line noise here and the k3 fights better w/ that.
I´m using the KUSB cable for CAT connection w/ PC. I NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO WORK W/ (KDVR3) THE MACROS FROM THE K3 UTILITY & N1MM once they use the same port i cannot open n1mm and utility at same time.
All i can say i´m really happy. 
I told my PRO3 i intend to operate SO2R but he´s afraid of going to another shack :)
