Elecrafters, i asked the K3/CM500 users for their settings a few days ago. I configured the TXEQ per the suggestions. In the contest, on 40m, DM4M got a '..nice signal.. ' from a W2 and a 'What a beautiful signal, astounding!' from a K5. So i think your suggestions were on spot. Thanks! -- Ohne CW ist es nur CB.. 73, Martin DM4iM
