[Elecraft] K3 & M/M Contest stations

[Fred Smith]

I use my K3 to contest but could care less about the score I just look for a
new band country and every once in a great while a new one. Buy I agree with
you a serious DX'er would not want a contest radio either most are "Deaf"
and only work the real 599 stations anyway.

I did use 2 K3's in an SO2R setup using MicroHAM interface for a while and
did OK. But to be honest I'm a "Casual DX'er" and only care to work phone
both QRP and QRO. Just have become found of the Elecraft gear, to be honest
to get the most from most any high end radio you need to do a setup on it.
The K3 can be customized any way you want it that is what makes it a great
radio. If you need an out of the box no adjustments necessary you bought the
wrong radio.



73 & Good DX,

Don,

No way could someone that was a real serious contester use the K3 with the
stock settings and score anywhere near the points that could be scored
without changing the settings.  A stock K3 is NOT a contest radio.  And I
think that's where a lot of the cons about the K3 happen.  There are several
settings in the K3 that must be changed to make the radio a contest radio.
