Fellow Elecrafters,

I am appreciative of all the new and exciting functions which are being 
or have been incorporated into the K3 firmware. However, I am at the 
same time hoping someone will develop a laminated sheet summarizing all 
the new operations and how to use them.  I spend almost my entire ham 
radio time dxing on 80m where the signal to noise ratio is almost always 
poor.    I fear that by the time I remember how to implement some of the 
new improvements, the weak station will be gone.

It reminds me of my new Nikon camera.  By the time I have figured out 
what fstop, ISO, and Aperture settings I need, the bird I was hoping to 
get a great photo of is in the next county.    Many of the good rare 
weak sig dx on 80 is best worked very quickly before the power squadron 
arrives.

Of course this is all dependent on the K3 usage - contest, dx, etc.

Good dx and K3ing in the coming holiday season.


73, Mike K5NU
