Jeff - I sold a Pro III (and my little old K2) back in 2010 in order to help pay for my K3. I am not one bit sorry I did that! I started out with a K3/100 kit, internal ATU and two additional filters: the 400 Hz 8 pole and the 1.8 KHz 8 pole filter. I loved it in this rather “bare” configuration, but…..
After moving to a new QTH and freeing up additional funds, I added the sub receiver, two meter module, FM filter, and KX144RFLK. Having the second receiver is great, as it allows me a lot of flexibility with antenna selection and diversity receive. I use an 88 foot long doublet for transmit on 60 - 6 meters; a Hustler 5BTV ground mounted as my diversity receive antenna. Because it is connected to the ANT2 port, I can also transmit into the vertical as well as receive, should I want to. I’ve also added the P3, KAT500, and KPA500 to the lineup. I highly recommend the P3. It is unbelievably useful. Sell that Icom - you won’t be sorry. 73, Jim / W6JHB Folsom, CA > On Wednesday, Sep 9, 2015, at Wednesday, 11:10 AM, w...@flashdog.us wrote: > > Hello Everyone, > > I am considering selling my Icom IC-756 ProIII, with Inrad roofing filter, to > help pay for a future K3S.
