[Elecraft] K3 Digital Voice Mode - our future?

LOL yeah, the sales guys are all trained to tell you that you need to order it if you need it. But also that the rig supports computer pc headset/electret mic.

Jerry,

The microphone I mentioned was I guess an inside joke with Wayne, way back when the dark ages got some light, a customer ordered an early k3.

Guess who didn't notice you need to order one?

The look on my face was priceless, for all the rest there's Mastercard right?

What is this microphone thing? Is that a new kind of key?

Aah Jim,

Yes, "Emergency Nets" and SSTV, it is stunning how you here a dx station calling, you answer and by being so cheeky, you suddenly get swamped.

We got'em over here too, you folks are not alone.

So glad Elecraft supplied a VFO as standard, unlike a microphone, right Wayne?

Soon as I stop chuckling I can drink my coffee.

 Is bandwidth really our biggest problem?

It is during contests. Or when you're trying to fit in between the many 
ragchewing nets masquerading as "emergency" nets. And don't try to make 
a SSB QSO on the frequencies that the SSTV crowd has claimed, even 
though they are dead when you call.
