Jim. I've read a lot of your posts on this reflector and you are one of the people I have a lot of respect for as you obviously have a lot of knowledge in some areas. So I am disappointed to find you taking the same narrow minded attitude displayed by others that "I don't need it, therefore it doesn't matter." The K3 comes with support for FM and, having paid for the crystal filter, I can tell you that it does a very fine job of receiving FM, better than any dedicated FM transceivers. Why would I want to use another transceiver for my FM operation? Elecraft is also now offering an internal 144MHz board as you surely must have noticed. Do you really think that it is just negative carping to complain that the K3 does not provide the same convenience of use when used for VHF FM that you expect on SSB and CW with your second receiver? By the way, I would be really interested to learn why it would be useful to use TX and RX EQ (and specifically the SAME TX and RX EQ selected for optimum SSB transmission and reception) in data modes. Or was that meant to be just another smart put-down? ----- Julian, G4ILO.
