> 73, > > Lyle KK7P ====================================== I don't do SSB, Data, contesting or VHF but I still want a K3. I will like having general coverage and the tuning rate of the K3 is just right. The K2 rate of 1 khz per turn is too slow and the faster rate has big jumps in the pitch. Very annoying to me. The tuning knob is as good as any and there is more room on the panel. Low phase noise sounds good to me but I am not sure that I ever noticed any problem with my K2 in that respect. Passband tuning will be nice, also. I have never used DSP but i am interested in trying it. 73 Rick Dettinger K7MW _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
