I had limited time available for the WPX and operated as VF2A. I loaded v4.51
beta before the contest to try it out. I tried the settings mentioned above
before the contest. I cannot imagine using them. I cannot imagine spending
the entire contest with my hand on the  gain controls to prevent serious ear
damage. I run my RF gain wide open. Always. I finally changed my settings to
the defaults in my owners manual. I contested with both hands on the
keyboard. I worked the weak stations with no difficulty and the strong ones
with no pain. I do not expect every improvement to be useful to me. Everyone
configures and uses their K3 differently. I am very impressed that Elecraft
is able (and willing) to keep improving our equipment. I have never
regretted buying anything from them.
