Dick,
  I've had a K3 for over 5 years, and a 7600 for a few months (but before 
that a 756 Pro2 for years).  What specific questions do you have?  They 
should be very similar in CW reception, though the K3 would have an edge in 
very crowded (e.g., contest) conditions.
  Let me know if there is more that you need.

Hi All,

I am new to this list.  I do not at present have a K3, although I did build 
a kit several years ago.  Shortly after I built it I had to sell it. I did 
not use CW at that time.

I acquired an Icom 7600 which I still have. I have become addicted to CW 
lately.  If  you go to my QRZ page  you will see t he antenna that I have to 
use here at the retirement center where we live. I  have been using mostly 
PSK until lately and I can reach into Canada and down into Mexico (a far cry 
from the 50 foot tower I sued to have).  But it wlrks and keeps me 
interested.

My question is:  Is there anyone that used to  have a 7600 and now has a K3? 
How do they compare? I am having a problem with reception of CW.  It could 
be the antenna, but I am noticing  when I try to use reverse beacons that I 
don't get any hits.  I am TX  at about 50 watts.  Any ideas?

Thanks in advance. The more that I read about the K3 the better I like it.

Dick, N5XRD
