Bill, Thank you for your thoughts here! You inadvertently answered a question I was going to ask, about the K3 vs. the current Flex product. Thank you again!
I have a request in the Yahoo groups to join as well, so I should be able to get more data as needed. In my wanderings across the net looking for data on the K3, saw reference to bad audio on transmit from the K3, these were 2 year old posts. Was there an issue, or was it user setup, and if an issue, did Elecraft correct it? I saw some changes were made two the transmit audio, was this done to correct the issue, if there was an issue.
