I also found the K3 to be a great performer in the tough condx this weekend. I must quibble a bit about the tuning knob however. I find it just about impossible to adjust it for slight damping without feeling asymmetric drag against the felt washer. I can't get it to feel smooth, yet damped. I've been very careful in making slight adjustments and just can't find a sweet spot. I'm not loving the felt washer adjustment system - am I missing something? 73, Barry N1EU wb8yqj wrote: > > The "official" numbers are great news, however, given > a chance to operate the K3 in this weekends ARRL DX CW > contest provided the following additional info. > > The main tuning knob is large and weighted, tunes like > the best.
