Conditions were rather spotty on 6m down in the Southwest, but enough
openings to keep it interesting.
The F3K performed magnificently! Even though I was using the compressor,
I had several unsolicited comments on the good quality of the audio, and
it seemed to punch through the pileups just fine. The receiver worked
great; strong enough to handle the number of BIG signals from the Metro
Phoenix area, but no apparent issue with lack of sensitivity. I could
pick the DX out as well as anybody.
This was running barefoot; no amp or preamp, just the 6M7JHV at 60ft.
The one gripe I have is the lack of an ability to lock the panadaptor.
Operating this radio is a very visual process, and I would lose the
pattern of activity when changing the main rx frequency. I realize I can
leave that alone and hunt with the sub-rx, but really it would be
desirable to have both freely available. I know this has been talked
about before, but I can't remember where to go to add my support to the
enhancement list.
Overall, a very positive experience.
