[Elecraft] KX3 report

Trying to get some operating time this weekend while doing school work.  
I am connected to N1MM with KX3 #14 and interfaced with my SO2R box.  No 
problems so far with N1MM using the K3 setting as expected.

I have the KX3 connected to an OB12/6 yagi at 50ft (high winds today) 
and running 5W.   Audio sounds great with the headphones.  K3 users will 
have no problems operating this radio.  So far on 15 I have worked a 
bunch of DX including ST2AR in a pile up and some EU stations.

One suggestion for folks who get this.  Make your interconnect cables 
from molded right angle plugs.  Right now I am using adapters from 1/4 
in down to 1/8 inch and while it works it may put too much strain on the 
internal sockets.

I have not tried SSB yet but I will later today when I get another break.
