Everyone gets into such a high dudgeon about ESSB, but I see no one here complaining about PACTOR III, which is a proprietary mode which takes up the same bandwidth as a SSB signal, but is allowed in the "data" parts of the bands, INCLUDING 30M. Not only that, but it is employed by dozens of "robot" stations, whose purpose is to pass EMAIL on the Ham Bands. This is a lot more threat to the bands than a few experimenters playing with ESSB, since the ARRL is pushing the email forwarding, or "Winlink," as the "be all, end all" of Emergency Communications.
And yes, you can probably run it with your K3. Just spring another $1000+ for a modem from SCS (a German Company) and you can get on the bandwagon. -- --- _ _ _ _ _ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ John L.
