[Elecraft] Will a casual SSB operator enjoy the K3?

[Bill Clarke]

I have been using my K3 for SSB rag chew on 40/75/160 since I built it 
over a year ago. I don't DX or contest.

It took a long time to get the receive to where I wanted it for armchair 
copy - but, it was well worth the effort. To me, the K3 is the Rolls 
Royce of rigs, yet is not the most expensive out there. The K3 can be 
the perfect rig for any ham - as there are so many variables in its 
operation. You just have to learn how it all works and not be afraid to 
make setting changes.

It took me a long time to get to where I really like my rig. The 
learning curve is steep. That said, I recently added the P3 and have to 
say that in over 50 years of hamming - the K3/P3 is the best I have used 
and I have owned or used most of what has ever been out there.

There are several websites that have additional information regarding 
settings used for various types of operation - just search them out - or 
ask here, and you will be provided good direction.
