> The most significant new "feature" is an editor for the K3's CW memories. These are the memories that you had to load by manipulating a paddle, you recall these memories by pressing M1 thorugh M4 on the K3 front panel. And your timing had to be *absolutely* perfect using a paddle! Mine is not so it sometimes took me forever to get memories loaded correctly (ditto for the K2 BTW). > I read a report on this reflector about a CW enthusiast that had suffered a stroke and loved CW, but could no longer manipulate a paddle at speed. He's able to use a keyboard, though. He had a friend come over to program his rig's CW memories. Slightly off-topic but my very good Topband friend N4SU had Parkinson's and had the same problem. Dave eventually gave up hamming and I helped take down his station including 12 Beverages. I believe not being able to operate actually hastened his death according to his wife. If he was living now, I would do exactly what Dick suggests. You can actually work a lot of DX stations on CW and RTTY without needing to send their call, especially in contests. Program the keyer to send your call and a response for when they answer you. 73, Bill -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/What%27s-new-in-K3-Utility-version-1.2.3.18-tp2640337p2640788.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
