[Elecraft] list postings, K3's and K4's

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

OK Robert - let me be truly heretical.  I have K3 #4275, and do 99 
percent of my operating in assisted CW contests and CWTs.  I use N1MM 
Logger's Spectrum Display Window, and for my kind of operating I find it 
superior to either the P3 or the K4's spectrum display.  Why? Because of 
the integration with logging and particularly display of spots right on 
top of the spectrum.  In addition to the straightforward display of 
signals across the band, the Spectrum Display shows me the callsigns of 
spotted stations superimposed on the spectrum, as well as the callsigns 
of stations that would be dupes.  It makes it VERY easy to find a run 
frequency, and to see when someone moves in on top of you whether you 
can move aside just a speck and continue running.

Until someone shows me another good reason, I'm staying with my K3.

73, Pete N4ZR
