Hi Tom, Me too. Whilst running on 20m I received QRL QSY V26B 1 up. I did apologise and QSY'd immediately. I felt bad about this and kicked myself for not marking my band map - I must use this feature more. The last thing I want to do is to make it difficult for the contest expeditions or 'rare' island type stations in the more obscure zones. I'm afraid that the K3 allows us to operate so close to adjacent stations, almost interference free, that we forget about the non-believers who can't.
I have to confess to taking a less altruistic attitude to a certain East European super station who requested that I bugger off. Encased within my 400Hz filter and a touch of cut-off I was oblivious to his presence and worked a dozen or so more before QSY. I always QRL? Twice, IMI twice and if nothing heard then off I go. Am I being bolshy too? Cheers, Terry G4MKP In both the CQWWCW and RTTY Contests I found the K3 to be "too good". In the zoo of 20 and 40m I could easily find a hole in which to CQ by using the K3 filters and variable bandwidth controls, but in both contests i often got pounced upon with QRL QSY. I asked myself why. If I cant hear another station because I am using the filtration system of the K3 - is it MY problem? If they cannot reduce their rx bandwidth by the inclusion and usage of their filters - is that MY problem? Perhaps we should all use a K3 then we could squeeze more stations into the available bandwidth... If I am bothering YOU, but you are not bothering ME - than that is clearly YOUR problem......... or am I just being bolshy??
