[Elecraft] K2 Shines talking to CA

[Dan Sherwood]

I broke in my brand new K3 running multi single Ventura County, under the call KG6TBR. We all pounded it good and it held up well. Good stuff!

(I'm not really fond of the keyer in N1MM, but I do like to have the paddle along side, and usable for extra comments).  So... into the fray we go.. spent the majority of the time S&P, tried to get runs going, but that didn't seem to work real well, even tho, S&P was a one call - log it deal.   I'm not sure, how much the propagation was improved, but the dsp certainly made a difference. My other K2 has the AF filter, not dsp, and although it is easy/softer on the ears/ to listen to, apparently it doesn't hear quite as well. Although, with my electric fence, the NB is set up better there. So.. a comparison in set up will be done shortly. Wish there is a way to put the dsp and the AF in the same box, and select either or....    To sum it all up, over 200Q score = 29,400 and that was done with a 5 watt limit on tx power, monitored by 
> two wattmeters, and sometimes dropped just for kickes down to 1 watt.   Also worked France in the middle of the contest at 5 watts. But didn't put that one in the contest log.  Thanks to Elecraft and all who designed and perfected this jewel. It is such a warm feeling to use a radio that performs so well. Thanks everyone,  Have a great day,
