[Elecraft] K3 DNR

[Fred Smith]

I have been a Yaesu fan for many years and currently have a FTDX-5000MP and
a Quadra amp in essence a 1kw radio in every way from 6-160m. It is an
excellent radio and a great receiver to boot as you all know I'm sure. I
have owned it for  30 months and never had one issue with it was the second
one delivered in the US. Wanting to try something new I decided to buy a K3
what could be wrong with owning the #1 &2 radios on all the tests. Long
story short now I have a loaded K2/100, 2 K3/100's one of them loaded and
the other on the way, a P3/SVGA and will add a second plus a XG3. These
darned Elecrafts are a real pain they should make you have a prescription
from your Doctor before you ever order one and that should have a warning
label about becoming addictive. 

 

Rather than going with an Elecraft tuner and amp I decided to go another
direction that gave me a few more options an Alpha amp and a new Alpha 4040
auto tuned soon to be released. In the interim I'm using a Palstar AT-Auto
till the Alpha gets here the last of Sept or Oct. Just finished ordering a
Array Solutions Six Pack SO2R Dual Controller for the K3's and a Bandmaster
with a few extras.

 

 

Being rather new to Elecraft I have only had my K3's for about a month I'm
still searching for a way to continuously adjust the DNR from the very
lowest to the most aggressive with a dial while listing. I'm able to do this
with my FTDX-5000 and find it to be one of my most used features and most
effective I might add with that ability.

 

Is there a way for me to setup a knob to adjust the DNR like that in the K3,
I'm sure there must be and it's just me not finding it, that good of a
feature I'm sure would not be left out.

 

 

Thx to all & 73,
