I had a similar experience. My K3 was used on CW and digital modes, and only about a half hour on CW. Our club had a guest operator who was very proficient with CW, and he was quite pleased with the K3 and the way it operated.
He especially was excited by the QSK. the auto-spot and the DSP filtering. At one point, he commented that the K3 had so many operating conveniences that he expected the "kitchen sink" to appear out of it at any time :-) . It helped that I had Quick-memories set up on the keypad for band changing and then changed to the sub-band (CW, Data, or SSB) with the M1, M2 and M3 buttons. That made it easy for everyone to change bands/modes/filters. I think our guest CW operator will be ordering a K3 soon. He had thought all Elecraft gear needed soldering of thru-hole components, and was pleased to learn that the K3 was a plug-together kit. 73, Don W3FPR On 6/27/2011 12:24 PM, John Fritze wrote: > Once again, I took my K3 to F/D this year with the P3.
