David, This applies to ANY competition class radio, not just the K3.
I strongly recommend AGAINST bringing out your radio out unless you know for a fact that those who will be using it know how to use it already. If it is a free-for-all, you should only take out a radio that is dead-simple to operate like an ICOM IC-718, a Yaesu FT-840, or a Yaesu FT-747. Otherwise, you will be constantly be asked questions and/or really frustrating operators. Even worse, they might get the radio into some state rendering it unusable (yes, it DOES happen) and without a quick resolution because you won't know exactly what they changed. Sorry, but it is really not worth your trouble unless you know the operators are K3-aware. 73, Tony -----Original Message----- From: dm...@nexicom.net Sent: Friday, May 11, 2012 12:29 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] k3 and field day I will have my k3 at Field Day this year and would like a little advice. I will have the Yamaha cm500, a hand held mic plus a set of paddles. It will have one multiband antenna. plus a will periodically be connected to a beam when its available. Since it will also be used by several other ops that probably wont know the K3 I would like to set it up as user friendly as possible and lock out as much as possible in the menus to prevent it from being messed up. What settings have others used in this situation. and what precautions are there? and any other thoughts please. Please answer to the reflector and not directly to me.
