[Elecraft] K3 & M/M Contest stations

[Fred Jensen]

Sorry, did not intend to descend into jargon.  In contests there are 
"usually," not all contests are the same, two separate entry classes. 
M/S is Multi-Single ... multiple operators who take turns on one radio 
[i.e. transmitter].  M/M is Multi-Multi ... multiple operators who 
operate more than one transmitter.  Generally, M/M means multiple 
operators, two transmitters, but sometimes it can be more than two rigs.

Probably the ultimate M/M is a DXPedition, Field Day runs a close second 
although Field Day is not a contest if you believe the official word.

The problem that confronts any group of multiple operators, regardless 
of the number of radios, is that they are all going to share a radio, 
and everyone likes their's different.  Steve's question seems to be, and 
apparently this has been a discussion up in the Frozen North, "Does the 
very significant configurability of the K3 present a problem in 
multi-operations when each operator wants his own?"

Welcome to the hobby, Hoop!  If your experience is anything like mine 
has been for 60 years, it's a continual learning experience.
