Tim, As far as the response of the K3 is concerned, I refer you to Guy Olinger's (K2AV) recent posts. The K3 is a highly configurable transceiver, and "Read The Fine Manual" is an important step. If after reading, you have problems understanding the implications, definitely ask here on the reflector, and you will get an informed response.
When the questions are more like "tell me how to do ----", I often feel like just replying RTFM, because it is obvious that the poster has not even cracked the manual and just tried to do special things without trying to understand how things work. The K3 with its default settings is good for the average types of operation, but for those who want to "do something special", it is important to RTFM first and then ask questions - failure to do that will likely lead to not understanding the responses to the questions, and further confusion when what is suggested is not what the poster expects. In other words, vary from the default setting only with a valid reason to make that change. Many changes from the defaults are good for certain situations, but will not produce the desired results for other situations. The K3 is highly configurable, but modify the default configuration with an informed eye, and see if the results do what you desire rather than accepting someone else's changes without question. I repeat, RTFM is important for any modern transceiver with configuration menus - the K3 is no exception. 73, Don W3FPR On 10/6/2010 1:39 AM, Tim Tucker wrote: > > This definitely isn't a plug and play rig.
