[K3PZN-List] Transmitter keying spectrum and composite-noise test results

[Curt Milton via K3PZN-List]

Cool data.  

Lets not be too disappointed with the ft3000.  That might matter more if we were doing rtty 20 khz from cw.  CW to phone separation is more like 100 kHz on 20m and 70 kHz on 40m.  Any of these rigs would be fine on 20m ssb.  We can at least double separation from the wb3vwk and wx3b antennas and all will be well.  If I end up supplying a cw rig my k2 may be better than my ft950.  The k2 uses similar synthesizer to the k3 and we ran it with too close antennas last year.  Actually we were on 40m most of the time and we may have been too close to AK3Z ts590.  No issues that I know of.  

You will find many of us with rig preferences in regard to knobs and buttons.  Meanwhile I try to operate every different rig I can.  

We have access to enough fine rigs all should be well with proper antenna positioning.
